ADDED compared to Enterprise 6

• icewm
  Summary: Fast and small X11 window manager
  Added because we needed a lightweight modern window manager. There are some machines that just don't have much CPU and/or memory, and both KDE and GNOME can really slow these machines down.
  This is not installed by default
  ADDED for dependancies
  • glib
  • gtk+
  • imlib
• revisor
  Summary:Revisor provides a set of command line and graphical tools for building distributions.
  Added to be able to create the distribution as well as sites.
  This is not installed by default
  ADDED for dependancies
  • livecd-tools
  • spin-kickstarts
• SL_enable_serialconsole
  Summary:This script makes all the changes necessary to send console output to both the serial port and the screen. This also creates a login prompt on the serial port and allows users to login at this prompt.
  Added for headless servers that want to redirect their output through their serial console during bootup, and also plan on logging in on those consoles.
  This is not installed by default
• SL_password_for_singleuser
  Summary: Changes startup scripts to require the root password for single user mode.
  Added for people concerned about someone getting root access to your computer by just sitting down to it.
  This is not installed by default
• SL_rpm_show_arch
  Summary:Adds architecture output to rpm query's.
  Note: This might already be the default and this package might not make it in.
  This is not installed by default
