Creating a games-all metapackage would be easily doable but I wonder if there was a more elegant way to solve this problem and if we could avoid the creation of "meta-metapackages". I could imagine another check box in tasksel for instance. If checked all separate installable games-* tasks for users would be selected and all tasks for developers and artists, the -dev packages, would be excluded. >> You might want to check the download size it would have first: some game >> data packages are _big_ (~1GB for flightgear, ~400MB each for openarena and >> wesnoth, ~7.5GB total for the games-finest collection). > > Good point, tasksel needs some indicator of sizes. Indeed that would be a neat feature. In the meantime you might also want to try »games-finest-light« which installs smaller and less hardware demanding games although it's still ~2.5GB. Markus
