And installing everything on a DVD image makes more sense than everything in a Fedora repo. And as I mentioned earlier if people want that, we can recommend using a live DVD since they do install every package that is installed on the media. For myself I like to have lots of stuff installed both so that I see problems (missing obsoletes and the like) that I can file bugs for and to make it easier to find/try things when I am looking for packages that might allow me to do a new task (or do an old one differently). If I had somewhat more disk space, I would install everything that didn't conflict (and there are some things that have conflicts that really should get fixed). I don't want to tie up that much space, so I just install lots of stuff instead of all stuff. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
