floppy:
from my small installing history (still not finish with ALSA..), I think following Prepacks would have helped few months ago:
- wired
- wireless (ndiswrapper, wicd..)
- communication and exchanges (opera, links, midhight commander for ftp)
- hardware audit and setup (lspci, lshw, hdparm, gparted,..)
- office tiny (flume, gnumeric, leafpad, epdfview)
After the knowledge is growing and most of things works, I would keep only the extensions I know and which are good to me..

Once net access is achieved it is much more efficient to use existing tczs.
Don't expect a plethora of permutations and combinations to be offered.
We have a specific goal.

yes.
I was just thinking how to make a bigger "HHHUURRAAHH" effect on consumers.
I can make fire with a fire-stone.. but making fire with a BIC-lighter is quicker.

Thank yo for this - now I know more.

I remember that there is a c-language package also in the repo. Needed to compile source code.
Is this a "prepack" too?

So when I download a prepack it sits in my /tce on sda1 for instance. Can I just copy it over
to another TC system on another machine and use it there?

Will it automatically be installed during reboot?

Would it make sense to make a prepack for "php, mysql and lightpd" for instance?

Are there instructions some where on how to do something like this?

compiletc is a meta-extension - it depends on all the necessary extensions. A prepack would be a combined extension instead, like compiletc was in the TC 1.x days.

Yes and yes.

Not really, as Robert said, once you have initial internet access, you can just "tce-load -wi php mysql lighttpd" (untested command, extension names may differ).

For combining extensions, I think there is some info on the wiki and forum, but I don't think there has been a specific howto for that yet.
