This will cause Setup to only list those packages in the chooser window. But will the non-base packages be installed by default? I.e., will they come up "Skip" or <current-version> in the chooser window? When I download to a directory, and then use that directory to install, I see only the packages I downloaded, but I still have to manually select to install the non-base packages I downloaded. -Len > > You cannot safely remove pacakges from the default - we keep that as > lean as we can.
