Thank you. These comments answer some of my questions and help assuage my concerns. Perhaps one could use it to create a "pungi spin": A spin with pungi, its deps, some related tools, network and ISO creation tools, and not much else. Would all that fit onto a CD? The user installs it, builds the custom install tree, and then installs further from there. That would minimise traffic considerably. It would require a bit of disk space, but even that is preferable to slurping in several DVD-sized images with redundancies. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
