Yes, something like that. I have not done any research on the actual sizes of the packages and where you would do the split, but perhaps this could be a better way of making sure that everything gets in without requiring everyone to download all the isos. I was thinking along the lines of Base distro - 2 images Development stuff - 1 image games/eyecandy/multimedia stuff - 1 image i18n - 1 image -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
