Fedora Targets

Hi Not kidding at all. Today Fedora Core is a 4 to 5 CD's. If a user wants only the server packages or only the KDE packages they wouldnt know which CD's to download. It isnt obviously labelled or documented. What I am proposing is splitting up the CD's into specific targets. Fedora Server, Fedora Desktop, Fedora Edutainment etc that is self hosting with a base group that brings in compatibility between these different targets but it would waste some space.. Th user who wants just a desktop or a server can download a single CD. By default anaconda wouldnt offer any package selection and install everything in the CD which would only offer a single default browser, single mail client, DE etc. A advanced option during installation can allow you to do something thats similar to the current setup that will allow user to select different groups such as desktop, workstation, server etc. When clicking on a group that is not provided within the current CD the installer would indicate that additional CD's are required or alternatively pull packages from the network (nfs/http/ftp ...). -- Rahul Fedora Bug Triaging - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
