Hi Yann,
this is for historical reasons, but they are stupid. In the past you
needed tasksel for installing task packages. Now you can use apt-get
to install a package like task-german. So
PACKAGES taskinst
german
does the same as
PACKAGES install
task-german
In the past, I though we could save some space by exculding tasksel
from the base file. But it's less than a MB. So, I will fix that, and
the next FAI version will not exclude tasksel any more.
