I must say I find this development most interesting! But according to
the Moblin relevant link you provided it would be something in addition
to the load that is installed onto a netbook/notebook which means unless
someone creates a really slick netbook oriented "kickstart" selection of
packages, the standard bloated package set will be installed.
