If you build multiple ISO images that can be used to build from, and one of the images can't be used to build, it seems like a problem. There are three basic ISO images, the DVD, the Net Install, and the Minimal. If someone doesn't have a cheap internet connection and new enough hardware to support a DVD, they are stuck. That's where the Minimal ISO comes in. It's also fantastic for those who like a trim system build without all the kruft. What I don't get is that fixing this bug just seems to be adding a couple known lines to the .treeinfo file. What makes it so problematic?
