In addition to what Jean mentioned, please note that the Distro Constructor
for the preview release is written in such a way that it incorporates a
lot of knowledge
of our target image: the Live Slim CD image. So, besides having the
gnome configuration in
the code, some of the files in the "SUNWslim-utils" and "slim_cd"
package are depending on the
fact that GNOME is there as well.
We have not tried to use the Distro Constructor to create images other
than the
one we shipped for Live Slim CD in the preview, but that doesn't mean it
is not possible.
It is not just as simple as changing the pkg.txt list. It will involve
changing
pkg.txt, microroot_pkgs.txt, and some code, in particular, the
livemedia_processing()
function in build_dist.lib. I am sure there are other things that need
to be changed
as well, but those are the obvious ones off the top of my head.
Good luck,
--Karen
