    Thanks Papiosaur, the Pack Ultimate is a great resource.

    I maybe dreaming, but have you thought of making a light installer package instead? For example, user picks packages to install and these are downloaded from a repository such as MorphOS Files and/or Aminet on demand, rather than redistributing same with the Pack.

    There would need to be some smarts built-in to check software dependencies - that's probably the hardest part.

    As someone said previously, it would be nice to have user oriented versions e.g. a "developer" version would have complete dev environment, many additional programming languages (e.g. Python, Lua, Pascal, BASIC, etc), a "gamer" version that would include console emulators and creme de la creme of games, "multimedia" version, "ultimate" version (everything included), and so on.
