OK, as you saw, I did the print-cdrom-packages.sh thing. That was easy.
sysinstall is harder. On, say, a 4.7 system, sysinstall has two
relevant items in the desktop config menu:
GNOME + Sawfish
(Installs gnome and sawfish-gnome)
GNOME + Enlightenment
(Installs gnomecore and enlightenment)
I think that the sawfish-gnome install above is redundant, because
sawfish-gnome is contained in the gnome meta-package, but you get the
idea. We should maybe fix this for 4.8.
Anyways, I imagine what you'd like for 5.0 is something like this:
GNOME 2 + Sawfish
(Installs gnome2, which includes sawfish2-gnome)
GNOME 2 + Enlightenment
(Installs "something" and enlightenment)
The trouble is that I'm not sure what "something" is. I thought at
first it would be analogous to gnomecore for GNOME 2, but I couldn't
figure out what that would be. Should it be gnome2? Or should there
be only one entry for GNOME 2 (which would give the users Sawfish and
Metacity)?
The applicable code, BTW, is in src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/
{config,menus}.c. I haven't made any changes so far to either file.
Testing this is complicated by the fact that at the moment, we don't
have a package build set on bento that contains the gnome2 meta-package,
although I expect that to change in a day or two.
Bruce.
