The install team (Titi, Pixel, me) brain-stormed with David about the installer for Mandriva 2007.

We mostly talked about the media selection: it should be redesigned to ease updates installation and to make thirdparty media usage easier (for example with a new proprietary drivers media).

Another important point is that the rpmsrate file should disappear, it will better be replaced by task packages.

Maybe we can use "Suggests" rpm tags for requires such as alsa sub-packages. For example gstreamer would suggest gstreamer-alsa, that would be picked if alsa if selected.

But we should still provide package selection based on hardware detection. The network::thirdparty may be used to get a list of packages (mainly to select packages copied from CDs), and extended for modules other than network.
