Dear all,
I recently downloaded "Wolverine" and I found myself troubled trying to
install all the programs I needed *without* installing any X application
at all. This does not only applies to Wolverine (which is a beta), but to
previous releases.
I do not use X (nor XFree, Gnome, nor KDE, etc), but Linuxconf, for
example, comes precompiled with X support. Not only Linuxconf, but a bunch
of other utilities that I like have X or X related programs as a
dependency, therefore I was forced to install programs I did not want to
satisfy dependencies.
My question/suggestion is:
+ Can we have the option to install:
- Workstation w/X (it will include CL packages as well)
- Workstation CL
- Server w/X (it will include CL packages as well)
- Server CL
- Custom w/X packages (it will include CL packages as well)
- Custom CL only
+ What about allowing further customization by:
- Having submenues for key apps, such as sendmail, where the admin
will choose features and the app will compile *at installation
time* with the selected features. Same applies with Apache, PHP,
Perl, etc... That way it would be possible to further customize
a RH installation. Perhpas the same can be done with the kernel.
All that as an option on the install menu.
I do not want to appear as a CL lover, I do like it, but I like more
ncurses that the fat X. For a server, I do not need that extra overhead.
Who is with me, and, more important of all, what does RedHat thinks about
this?
Cheers!
