Small image based on comps.xml alone?

[Shabazian, Chip]

What kind of information are you looking for?

I haven't had time to work on this yet myself, but I did take the
standard comps.xml file, remove all of the language entries, and it
suddenly made a LOT more sense to me.

Here are some of the links I've been saving for when I have time to do
this:

html?page=2

I would like to create a comps.xml which TRULY builds a minimal system
(I have a build down to about 100 packages), then allow me to add onto
that as appropriate.

Hello, all -

I've been working on a few different items lately, one of which I'm
working on today.  I'd like to build images which contain packages which
are either directly or indirectly referenced via comps.xml, being
dependencies of, or explicitly named packages, in comps.xml.

The reason I'm doing this is to first allow myself some degree of
flexibility when adding my own packages to comps.xml and having them
being installed, and also to slim down an install to under 1 complete
CD.

I know that we've talked about comps.xml on the list in the past, but I
don't think we've quite covered this aspect of things.

Thanks again for the time - it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
-dant
