One point though - if we were to do :
dvd#1.iso dvd#2.iso ( which contains things otherwise not installable via the installer )
and a distro-everything.iso ( at about 7GB, for people who want to host it on USB keys and nfs mounts etc ),
then is there any point in the dvd#2 ? if people cant use it install time ?
You're right. If there's going to be an everything.iso, there is little point in having a DVD#2. Those who want to make a full install can do so from DVD1 alone. Those who need to transfer all the rpms in one convenient verifiable package can use the everything.iso, to be used with a dual-layer DVD or USB memory stick, or loop mounted somewhere.
So, with that idea in mind, here is what I did to generate a packages list for DVD#1: - install a minimal system (in uefi, to have efibootmgr, shim, etc .. and also using md device/luks) - extract all packages mentioned in the comps.xml - install all those packages (that triggered dependencies too) - creating a list of all those installed packages (mentioned in the comps + deps)
I attach the full list and also a diff with the one Anssi created previously (http://miuku.net/tmp/7packages/c7-dvd1-rpms.txt)
I then composed a local tree from that list and size is : 3.9G total
I then reinstalled a new basic VM from that tree, and then verified I could install all the packages correctly
