To be honest, the quick and easy fix may be to let the "Core" be visible but not unselectable. That's where my confusion was, that "Base" meant only what was needed to run the machine. If Core can build off one CD image and target the least amount of packages that is needed to boot and login, then life will be good! Here's my initial wish list for a Core system: Enough OS to turn on and log in via command line. RPM SSH/SCP/SFTP Generic Video and Network drivers ext2/3 Nothing installed or turned on. >From that minimal set we can let users either build an application server with their own processes, or configure the box to their hearts content.
