The other possibility: We make 2 DVDs for CentOS6 containing all packages.

Yes, this is the drawback. On the other hand, CentOS 6 will be identical to RHEL6. This would make it easier for newcomers. > There are also the storage products, the computenode etc. Given that we > have no support model, and it makes little sense to replicate pkgs for > isos and base repo's I dont really see why we would want all that overhead. The workstation and server version of CentOS 6 can indeed contain these packages. We need only 2 versions: CentOS Server and Workstation containing all the upstream packages. >> I am sure to continue to use [optional]. > > why :) For clarity :) Best regards, Morten
