Fedora Core LT

[OmniUni]

I have worked often on computers that are not the greatest when it comes to 
the specs. Because of this, I thought that it would be a good idea to have a 
2 CD, light-weight version of Fedora Core. I set myself to putting together 
just such a system, and you will find a list of the packages attached, 
called package-selection.txt. All toghether, the packages total only 1383 
MB. If some packages need to be removed to fit on two CD's, I reccommend 
removing xmms, Abiword, Gnumeric, kdegraphics, and inkscape first. These 
packages, along with their dependencies, are nearly 40 MB. It is my hope 
that this can become a Fedora Core LT branch that will allow many more 
people to use Fedora Core. Here are some notes on the package list:

   - A calculator needs to be added
   - KDE default theme should be changed to Plasik
   - Available window managers: Fluxbox, XFCE4, KDE
   - Available office apps: OpenOffice, Abiword, Gnumeric
   - Available media apps include: GIMP, Inkscape, KolourPaint, 
   KSnapshot, Noatun, XMMS
   - Available internet apps include: Firefox, Thunderbird, GAIM, 
   Konqueror
   - Other Apps: yum, K3B, KSysGuard, system-config-display etc.
   - If it does not fit on two CD's, please try to remove these apps 
   first: inkscape, kdegraphics, abiword, gnumeric, xmms
    
To try this package selection, print out added-yum.txt. Then perform a 
minimal install and run "yum install [packagecommand]" for each line in the 
printed added-yum.txt, where [packagecommand] is replaced by each line of 
the document.Change the default runlevel to 5, and you're ready to go! The 
list of commands is actually not too long.

Good Luck, and I hope that this is useful.
Please respond with thoughts, comments, suggestions, whatever... (maybe even 
some iso's! :D )

Sincerely,
OmniUni
