We're shipping man pages, so might as well ship a reader.
This also pulls in `less`, which is nice to have around. See discussion on
cloud-sig mailing list.

do we want `less` and `man` in the default cloud image?
by Matthew Miller
Continuing a discussion with gholms on IRC. There's a general question of
how minimal we want the cloud image to be overall. I'd like to make it
reasonably small (where reasonable is some hand-wavy value), but we're not
ever going to be a stripped down TinyLinux or Damn Small Linux.
Garrett makes the point that the Fedora images should "feel like Fedora". We
can probably discuss what exactly that means, but, okay, I can see that as a
basic principle to weigh against "as tiny as possible". He also mentioned
earlier that he has gotten feedback that people like to have man pages
available. Right now, we're shipping about 6.2MB (on-disk) of man pages,
but, um, no man browser. Adding man would add about 8.8M on-disk, as it
pulls in groff and less. (Less is relatively tiny -- groff is the big
thing.) *
I really like having less around. I pretty much miss it on every system
where it isn't installed. And installing all those man pages with no way to
look at them seems silly.
Thoughts? Non-binding votes?
* Footnote: I see that groff is split into groff-base and groff, with the
former being "only necessary parts of groff formatting system which are
required to display manual pages, and the groff's default display device
(PostScript)". But, man requires less, and less requires the main groff
package. So if we fix that, total impact is 4.6MB.

in lieu of meeting: any important F18 cloud issues to discuss?
by Matthew Miller
Again, sorry about that. From my end:
- getting image builds in koji working again (looks like parted bug?)
- updating cloud sig web page -- more on that shortly
- talking tomorrow with someone from amazon about updating amazon
marketplace

Newbie Question
by J Birch
Please forgive my new pie question, but how exactly do you install one of the AMI images on EC2? For instance, I am want to install the image with the AMI ID of - ami-2ea50247.
When I search for this ID through the AWS console, I do not get a hit back. Is there something I need to do first?
Thanks!
Birch

removing NetworkManager from cloud image?
by Matthew Miller
The simple old-fashioned network configuration works just fine for basic
cloud use-cases which I can think of, and NetworkManager a) brings in a lot
of dependencies of little value in this case (e.g. ModemManager,
wpa_supplicant). Plus, out of the box in the EC2 image, NetworkManager is
the second-largest memory consumer (after dhclient). It's not huge, but if
we want to get as JEOSy as possible, this seems pretty painless and
straightforward.
Thoughts?

pciutils in minimal ec2 image
by Bill Nottingham
This is an explicit addition in the kickstart. Anyone recall *why*?
(If it's important enough, it should just get shoved into core. If it's
not important enough, it should just get dropped....)
