This is my biggest complaint with YDL 2.0. The only package (other than
'Everything') that has all the compiler tools is the 'Development
Workstation'. This effectively makes all the others useless for everyone
except the most casual user. Even a linux newbie is going to need to
compile something sooner or later, if not, I'm not sure why they would be
using Linux at all.
My wish for YDL2.1 is either a 'Base/Minimal install with development
tools' or a way to select individual packages like what earlier versions
had (and every other linux distro I have seen).
Cheers,
Chris
