Thanks John, great work. One small point, though - should there really be desktop in the default rootfs? It is easily installable using yum yet enlarges the rootfs by a lot. My view is that the rootfs should be as minimalist as possible - just enough to get the basic system running to the point where you can yum install whatever else you might need. In case of an image intended for WiFi devices I can see the appeal of having a desktop environment (nm-applet is a lot more intuitive than the CLI input required to get WiFi up and running), but AFAIK R-Pi has no WiFi. Thoughts? Gordan
