If we have avahi how about to add ipp-usb (IPP over USB printer support) and sane-airscan (SANE backend for AirScan (eSCL) and WSD document scanners) packages to Slackware-current?
There is so much of the stuff why not put it all in its own directory/folder? For example /p or /python.
Just a thought.
Who cares? Since we should all have to do a full installation
There are no more 3"1/2 Slackware floppy disks, so I suggest putting everything in a full/ directory.
(sorry for those with a hard drive smaller than 30 GB...)

I can imaging that Patrick is getting sick-n-tired of requests to "move this here or move that there"
and he might be getting close to following through with what he mentioned way back here.
IMO, the only 2 that really make sense are 'kde' & 'xfce'
For my own systems, all of 'xfce' is installed but only 5 programs
along with their required libs from 'kde'.
(ark, k3b, kate, kfind, ktorrent)
I did a test-install with all of 'kde' installed as-well and it took only an additional 3GB of disk space.
By today's standards... that ain't much at-all.
(Heck, I have individual MP4 video files that are 21GB)
One big repo of pacakges is the best option, and then you can always use TAGFILES to classify things. A minimum install system would be minsys.tagfile , then a xfce.tagfile , kde.tagfile etc.... something like "virtual directories" if you preffer it called that way
