After doing a `yum groupinstall Base` I notice that several packages such as rootfiles are missing. On further investigation it appears that Core is no longer a required group in Base.
Should I file a bug against comps in bugzilla?
Take care,
Gawain

There's no longer the concept of a group requiring another group as that makes the UI pretty disgusting. Things which are actual requirements should be expressed through package deps instead of trying to layer groups

Fair enough :-)
How about moving rootfiles to Core then?

What is supposed to be the difference between Core and Base?

Core is the absolute minimal subset. You'll get to a login prompt with a shell and a root password. Base is a far more reasonable minimal subset that will even let you install packages afterwards ;-)

I mentioned this elsewhere, but perhaps a name change from "core" should be made to avoid confusion with "Fedora Core". My suggestion was "base operating sytem", maybe "minimal operating system", or even "minimal boot environment" :) And "base" could become "minimal installer/developer environment"... still thinking... but the idea to suggest that it isn't for normal users ;) DaveT.
