| The use of "Base" here is overloaded.  There are two important groups in
| Fedora installs, there is the Core group, which is not visible to end
| users, and there is the Base group, which is.  Core group gives you a
| system that will boot a kernel and run init scripts and provide you a
| login shell.  The base group adds to that functionality such as
| obtaining a DHCP address, installing more packages via yum, and so on.
| If you deselect every group from the installer UI, including the Base
| group, you are given a "minimal" install of just the core group, and as
| of last testing (the F10 release) it only requires the first CD of a
| split CD set.

@core and @base actually do fit on one disc, but it requires exclusive
dependency resolving during compose, or package ordering at least.

I'm going to try and enhance package ordering (during compose) so that
it does exclusive dependency resolving for these two groups and
inclusive dependency resolving for the other groups.

Kind regards,
