(except of course for armhfp .. were the install is very different). It takes a bunch of extra work / testing to develop the DVD install ISO. It requires a unique package list to only include items needed from the installer. I would say that the best way to install CentOS is with the Minimal install and yum groups afterwards .. or a net install. I will never say never, but unless we have some community people develop the file lists for point release time, I don't see us doing more ISOs type for several reasons. two of which are: 1) It is very chaotic at point release time and people want things faster than we can release them. Developing the file lists that can make the DVD installer work OK takes time we don't really have. 2) Adding 20 or 30 more GB of to our mirrors , when scaled to 600 or so mirrors worldwide is a lot of extra storage and bandwidth. If we eliminate the Everything ISO we might do DVD only .. BUT .. i am usually afraid to do that. Anyway .. x86_64 is the main supported architecture and we don't currently plan to add more isos, certainly not without help maintaining the file lists that a DVD iso would require. More important than the list is the install testing to make sure it all works before release. Here is the repo where we maintain lists and comps (group) files: https://git.centos.org/summary/sig-core!comps.git Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
