It just seems odd. I know in Tribblix I removed the prompt because I *know* there's only 1 choice. Bit trickier here because you're presumably also using the installer in cases where there would be multiple choices. > Calling it minimal doesn't quite seem right.

Do we need any/all of the fibre-channel stuff? Or infiniband? storage/svm - does anybody use this? system/management/intel-amt - how many people use this? system/library/storage/ima/header-ima - headers? (generally, I would expect a minimal install to not include any development packages) system/install/tests - tests? driver/network/ce - really? media/cdrtools - not minimal But I suspect the real issue is that the role of such a minimal iso hasn't yet been decided, so it's not clear what its target audience is. > I suppose the most of those packages where dragged in via dependencies. > For packages: > > - runtime/python-26 it is used by pkg/illumos-gate and unless pkg in > OmniOS is updated (we spoke to Dan about it already, but is busy with LX, > so we can’t drop the package.
