It's not duff. (Neither is it Duff.) You'll want to define a group package or two, perhaps "gnome-minimal" and "gnome-standard", that each state some meaningful set of packages. Maybe "gnome-heavy", too. Then you ask for one of them to be added to the slim_cd package, so that the live CD includes that group and all of its dependencies. We could also get fancier, and use action attributes to separate the live CD case (a subset) from the installation case (more). We'd need to discuss use of filters with the Caiman gang. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
