Right, understood. What I'm arguing is that what you get when you
install the "Live DVD" should actually be identical to the comps
group.
However if it's desired to fill the full 4 gigabytes (i.e. actually be
DVD size), then I suggest what you do is pre-load a lot of stuff into
the yum cache, but not actually install it. A bit of PackageKit work
could expose to the interface "only search cached stuff" perhaps. Or
maybe the UI already knows about http:// versus file://, and if you
just made a repository which pointed at the mounted DVD?
