Hi,

> This is the location of the current KS file [1].

Ok shall have a good look through, and have a think about things I have installed on here recently. Is there such a thing as optional packages/ package groups to include with the spin, because there is a list of dependencies for programs like IDL which if people need to use being able to install and configure in one go would be simpler?

The only things I can think of are Python based:

spyder
python-matplotlib
NumPy
SciPy

I couldn't see these in the KS file?

So we can't offer a choice on the desktop environment? That's a big shame because it reduces the usefulness and flexibility of the spin?
