[Devil-linux-develop] software packages

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey folks,

I'm currently working including all needed programs into DL and get rid 
of build/config/copy_base.lst .

Following example scenario:

"man" needs "groff", groff is huge (9 MB), what should we do?

- include it all on base system (DL minimum system requirement: 1 GB RAM 
.... )
- include it all on base system but make it available via "make 
menuconfig" (doesn't make much of a difference, most people use the 
standard ISO)
- add it as package (dependencies will be a problem !)
- any other ideas?

Can't we keep those not very often used programs on the CD like
the lib/modules/2.4.xx/ tree?
