Maybe reduce gnome-core's scope a little bit, to provide just a basic GNOME environment, and add gnome-desktop as a full-featured complete GNOME Desktop release meta package? - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ "People keep asking me why we aren't married, and he says, 'Every time I am about to ask you, you do something annoying'." - Kate Beckinsale
