Re: kde in extras - the devel discussion



-Andy

Personally I prefer Gnome, but then that is my choice. One thing I like about Linux when compared to that other operating system is one does have choices.
My feeling is the core of Fedora at 5 cd's is getting a little out of hand; if I may make a suggestion in this area why not reduce the core to a true minimum needed to intiate an installation and create bundles of extras on various particular themes such as the KDE extras bundle. This way after I have downloaded the mandatory core I could select the various extra bundles that contain other ares I am interested in. As things are now I am just installing desktops, I don't need the server options. If I had the option to not download server applications I would save on band width when downloading the iso's, if at a later date I find I need to install servers I could always download the "server extras" or which ever ones I have chosen to not install at this time.

That makes sense....
I would prefer to DL just want I want to install.
Like a desktop with KDE, no server stuff, no gnome.
