layout of FC5 (and previous) CD's

[Peter Bieshaar]

OK I think the discussion is running out of hand and not what I meant in the
first place.

As far as I understand within the discussions, there was no or little common
sense in placing the rpm's on the CDs. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, all
FC guys did a tremendous job.

Can anyone JUST tell me how a "rpm -i some.rpm" knows that package
someother.rpm is needed.  I have tried before with --requires but that
didn't do the trick. I might come up with a little script which tells the
hierarchie on relationships, which can be used to differentiate the packages
on the CDs in a more structured way, which might be of help for future FC
distributions. These of course should only be handled for extras.
