Yes, we thought about switching back to gzip instead of bzip2 (gzip is much faster). This would also make the installation a bit faster. But all the rpms are not only on the CDs, but the DVD as well, so that would mean dropping packages from the DVD. Thus we decided against it.
Ah! :-o I see... Well, the bzip vs gzip is only an issue for the beta testing phase, when we need deltas, not for the final. But having different compression method depending of the phase (beta vs final) could be another can of worms, I guess...
Hey, maybe this is a good question for the community: would it be ok for you if we drop a couple of packages for faster installation?
Dependending on which packages! Each of us will have our own pet packages we can do without, and some we want added. Very dificult. An extra add-on dvd (optional) perhaps? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEVzektTMYHG2NR9URAiypAJwO2jFtZuerAXgO39qdJ80gUO5mhwCeOkw/ IH4aZVxmNCdxTYG3yS/Jq/c= =lsu6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
