Description of problem: In anaconda, although unselecting all items in the basic package screen, installer decides all 5 CDs will be needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda fc6t3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. install from CD 2. unselect all options on the basic package selection screen unchecking the 3 checkboxes: office web server {forgotten} and enabling/disable extras repo 3. next Actual results: ~you'll need cd 1 2 3 4 5. Expected results: should require no more than 2 cd's (preferably one). Additional info: All 5 CD's are actually requested during package installation. with everything unselected, need disc1-5 message from VT ~3/4 switching from cd[1] to 1 for vim-enhanced after disc1: 10 minute left: switching from cd[1] to 2 for evince after disc2: 2 minutes left switching from cd[2] to 3 for wvdial after disc3: 2 minutes left switching from cd[3] to 4 for isdn4k-utils {10M} Disk 3 4 and 5 are only needed for about 20 seconds each.
I think this is different from bug 195941.
I compared the list of installed packages and found the following culprits: libwvstreams-4.2.2-2.1 d3 {needed by wvdial} wvdial-1.54.0-5.2.2.1 d3 (needed by nothing} isdn4k-utils-3.2-50 d4 (needed by nothing} libsepol-devel-1.12.25-3 d4 {needed by libselinux-python which needs policycoreutils and -> 101 packages: xorg-foo, beagle-foo, evolution,gimp,gtk, etc} lrzsz-0.12.20-22.1 d4 (needed by nothing} minicom-2.1-3 d5 (needed by nothing} --size disc package 673474 3/Fedora/RPMS/libwvstreams-4.2.2-2.1.i386.rpm 133663 3/Fedora/RPMS/wvdial-1.54.0-5.2.2.1.i386.rpm 4048910 4/Fedora/RPMS/isdn4k-utils-3.2-50.i386.rpm 174962 4/Fedora/RPMS/libsepol-devel-1.12.25-3.i386.rpm 83368 4/Fedora/RPMS/lrzsz-0.12.20-22.1.i386.rpm 260802 5/Fedora/RPMS/minicom-2.1-3.i386.rpm -- disc sizes: cd1 719669248 cd2 716306432 - = 3362816 above rpms (- isdn4k-utils) sum=1326269, even with overhead, should fit on CD2 OK. {and is isdn4k needed by average joe?). Or all the above packages could be moved to disc3, since there would be enough space on it. Downloading and burning 3 extra CD's to get 7.14 MB of rpms is a bit sad ;(
I confirm this bug. I use text install, after uncheck everything it still show 5 cd's are needed. I remember fc4 require 1 cd for minimal install. fc5 require 2 cd's for minimal install. I like it to be just one cd. The fact is using as a server we can yum install everything from the network. We really just need a minimal system to start with. Thanks
Should be fixed now
Finally got 6pre torrent cd's 1 and 2 downloaded. It appears that this fix didn't make it into these images, since it still asks for disk 1-5 when you deselect the office item and extras. This would seem likely given the cd has files from 2006-09-29 but Jeremy posted 'fixed' a few days later. I guess it would be a good idea to test this internally before release :)
Yep, Jesse verified it after my commit. And it's on the testing punch list for the final tree
