Re: Slimmed Down Fedora 10 on XO (was Fedora 10 on XO)

[Greg Smith]

Hi Paul,

I mean slimmed down Fedora (probably shouldn't even call it Fedora at 
that point) plus Gnome, KDE of XFCE window manager. Is that precise enough?

If its as easy as yum install gnome on top of 8.2.0 image, that would be 
great!

Thanks,

Greg S
