As you may or may not know I've been unhappy with how the Live image
path has diverged from the automated install path (standalone anaconda
+ @gnome-desktop) for the desktop.
Attached is a series of patches to both comps and spin-kickstarts
which has a a high level goal of moving the two closer.
Basically there are 3 fundamentally separate concepts which got intertwined:
* Bits necessary for running a Live OS (turning off cron, etc)
* Removing things we do want to fit into a CD
* Removing "traditional Unix workstation" or other stuff that @base
grew we don't want in @desktop regardless of space
The comps patches come first, then the spin-kickstart patches.
This isn't complete but I think it's a noticeable improvement. We
still have more comps gardening to do. Note the spin-kickstart
patches obsolete the second of the patch I sent earlier.
