X.org is on disc1 (on purpose since it's something you can select in the "Distributions" section before even getting to the "Do you want to browse packages?" menu), while Gnome and KDE are both on disc2. If you select "All" in the distributions section it will install X.org during the initial install phase. If you then install only KDE and/or Gnome it will only ask for disc2 once you get past the package selection. The combination of KDE and Gnome basically fill even the newer 700Mb target media sizes so for it to get any better sysinstall needs to be made smarter. > It does seem to me that some work in this area would pay dividends. I am definitely not arguing that point, lots can be done here. --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-PJ59kF7Wy5UQKOxa98Pa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkfJZksACgkQ/G14VSmup/btaQCePETLSaYAYk9JseFiAHaoPNys wDIAn21krO0zy0xkotOPy3IFeN5LfPaa =cS9z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-PJ59kF7Wy5UQKOxa98Pa--
