Hi, what do you mean by 'that wouldn't be good in some cases'.

Try for example to remove the hunspell package (without doing it) to see what will happen with the OS. System -> Administration -> Add/Remove Software Write in the checkbox: hinspell Uncheck the English hunspell package and proceed to see how many packages are prepared to be removed from the system ... and don't forget to press 'cancel' of the operation for it will become 'interesting'.

Regards

'post' is a section of a kickstart file - the type of file used for building Fedora live CDs. It comes after the main operation of building the CD is complete. Bruno simply meant that the 'yum remove somepackage' operation in the 'post' section of the Fedora live kickstart should be removed, he was not suggesting any change to the yum utility itself.

Thanks.

For example if another spin based off the livecd desktop spin actually uses perl, then removing perl in post would have bad effects.

Though it seems the yum command was failing on the nightly compose builder, so that command wasn't having any significant effect on those builds in any case. But perhaps building in a different environment might have caused it to actually remove packages during the post install phase and that wouldn't be good in some cases.
