[Mageia-discuss] Mageia Developer Version/Edition?

[Juergen Harms]

For my installation, I have pulled this question out of the installation 
phase. I use post-installation scripts that verify which packages are 
there and which are still missing (also want to automatically throw out 
unneeded packages, but that is hairy).

This approach has the advantage that it does not require to modify the 
installation process and that the scripts can be based on user (or 
group-of-users)-provided files with names of packages. I understand that 
the "do everything during installation" approach is excellent for users 
that want to get a ready-made box out of installation. Here we are 
discussing users with more complex requirements.
