Earlier posts said that the live CD has a subset of all F7 packages. So I can install everything from the Live CD, but then there will be packages that I don't have. On re-reading my post, I don't think I posed my question precisely as I wanted. Let me try again here. My question is, if I install from a live CD, rather than from an "11 CD set", how do I find out what was left off that Live CD? Even if I want to make my own spin, how can I find out everything that is available in F7 that I might put into my spin? In the past, I at least had everything on CDs, and I could explore. But without that DVD drive, how do I do this now? Thanks! Erik
