But it is not the same idea than OLPC, since it is exactly the same than classical fedora, just with the minimal set of packages installed. It is true, however that OLPC helped removing 'dependency bloat', but some people already cared. It should also be mentionned that doing a spin (unless it has changed), though not very well documented is very easy thanks to pungi. Last think I'd like to mention is that due to how pungi works (and still if nothing changed) some bloat is currently unavoidable, since the packages used by pungi/anaconda have to be there, and it includes packages and dependencies that should not be in a minimal install, but it is a known issue. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
