Hey all,
Sue asked me to provide a summary of discussion. I don't think the
thread moved very far last time, but I've removed a few things from
the list that I think now are inappropriate.
Comments, feedback still welcome but I'd probably recommend to start
with this package list as soon as the interactive install images are
ready and refine from there.
