Just going through and reviewing a F-16 install and I've some queries about various deps listed in the comps file for gnome-desktop to see if I can trim the size a little.

gok: does this need to be default now with the new keyboard in gnome 3.2? Can it be made optional as its the only thing that pulls in ORBit2 and a couple of other deps and saves about 12mb

Yes, gok should become optional now. Thanks for pointing that out.

Also why are there various libraries specified in the comps file, its only really suppose to specify apps and the libs then get pulled in as deps when needed. There's a few more meg to be save by dropping libsane-hpaio and its not used in the default install.

All the 'lib...' packages that are there are listed because they install modules of some sort that are not otherwise pulled in via dependencies.

I'm not sure we actually need to worry about dropping any space. I want to find some time this week to look at the live cd, but from what I hear, we already have lots of free space there.

We should use caribou instead for fallback mode.

There's a bit of discussion as (within the specific context of the fallback login screen) here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658429

Of course our live image is really under budget size wise right now... --Ray
