Edubuntu still installs recommends by default. What we do is onflict against unwanted recommends in the edubuntu-live package so that the build system won't install it. If a user installs it, the package won't be removed on upgrades, etc. I guess that's not the ideal solution, but it's the best solution that was come up with during UDS natty for these kind of things. -Jonathan -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
