I did DL a bad ISO from iBiblio yesterday. It bin 2 and was about 100 megs short. Strangely, the CD created perfectly... just shy on data. Looks to be good now. Just thought I''d pass this along <as I sit waiting for the ISO to download so I can feed this machine disk 2> :) Test media??? I don''t test no stinkin'' media!!! I have almost zero failures, and the test would have taken as long as the copy of installs that bombed on me over the years due to bad media.... The test IS the install. ;) Now, can somebody tell me why all this printer crapola gets installed even though I choose no GUI and uncheck print services during a custom install? I really do get a bit tired of this. I really hate to say it, but it''s starting to seem just a little bit like .... oh no... i can''t say winders.. John Hinton

Yeah... the kernel-smp-devel on a ''plain jane'' Desktop install today with a single processor was suprising. Think the deps for postscript often pull in the printing stuff. :-/ On Thu, 03 Mar 2005 22:49:21 -0800, Troy Engel <tengel@fluid.com> wrote:> John Hinton wrote: > > Now, can somebody tell me why all this printer crapola gets installed > > even though I choose no GUI and uncheck print services during a custom > > install?

If it was then that''s probably why you got kernel-smp-devel on there. -sv

It''s small, but Rodolfo is always looking for more feedback if you''d like. If I remember correctly, they cleaned ~70MB of unnecessary cruft dependencies out of the minimal installer in FC2 and the changes landed for FC3 (and thus RHEL4). http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/barebones-server-howto.php Greg
