I don't think it matters how we get there(cpio+IPS, or all IPS), we need to look at this as "what user experience are we providing with this feature"? Seems to me Frank has indicated in his mockup that we want the user to be able to customize their software(additional software to be downloaded). In my mind this means we start with the software on the media they are using, and customize it to get to where they want with their selections. That would be the way the user would expect it to work as well, right? Assuming this is the user experience we want to provide and agree on, then we can do it any way underneath we want. Could be cpio + ips adds/removes. Could be all IPS. sarah *****
