Given the fact that each kernel add a certain load on hdlists, I think we should really try to avoid their proliferation. ( kernel represent 33% of the size of contribs hdlist at Mandriva ). > - provide a script or someting like that, that scanns and adds sound > specific stuff to the limits.conf, /etc/udev/rules.d and /etc/rc.d/rc.local > and other places > - provide tasks files that really only install good and necessary sound > stuff. Good luck with deciding what is "good and necessary". You will always end frustrating people whose definition of good and necessary to be different. And secondary, I think we should also try to avoid having too much task- rpms. Their values is in the fact they allow to quickly install a set of rpm without searching in the whole set of rpm. If there is too much of them, people while end searching in the various task-* rpms, and that seems counter productive at best. ( ie, searching the task rpm they want to avoid searching rpm they want directly ... ). -- Michael Scherer
