Thanks for the post. I will be using it for my Games Spin
attempt using
Unity's installer and the latest updates (including
updates-testing if
it seems to work) that I plan to give out as Christmas
Presents.
I also noted that uqm is now on the list and I won't need to
add it manually
(assuming it pulls in the optional parts).

It won't pull in the optional packages, uqm-content-3domusic
and
uqm-content-voice. I can add them manually to the kickstart
file if it 
improves the game experience considerably. Both these
packages combined 
occupy around 125 MB in the repository.

I'd recommend adding uqm-content-voice. That way when you
talk to beings,
you get an audio of what they are saying as when as the
displayed text.
The voices actually add some nice color to the game.
uqm-content-3domusic
isn't really a big deal since that is just alternate music.
If space is
a concern that can be dropped without too much effect.

Thanks.

uqm-content-voice is over 100 MB. I am adding to the
kickstart file for 
now. If space becomes a problem, we might have to reconsider
this. I 
have been talking to rel-eng already and they feel that me
or the games 
SIG should be able to vouch for the quality of the release.
I will do a 
local spin with the changes and test it and we will probably
do a 
initial beta release, publish a test matrix and then get
some feedback 
before doing a general respin update. Stay tuned.

Rahul
