But some packages depends on initscripts and sysvinit does not
provides initscripts (thinking as an RPM packager provider). Every
time we need to add a software to moblin that has the explict
dependecy on it we need to recompile and change the dependency to
sysvinit instead of initscripts.

And the initscripts package from fedora core has the /etc/X11/prefdm
scripts, that change the behavior of X startup. Thus we can't force
the installation of that package.

it's just a meditation on how does fedora core packages are supported
into a moblin installed image. :-)

Thanks
