[Sugar-devel] OLPC OS with gnome only.

[James Cameron]

No, don't try to remove on first boot, as it makes first boot fragile,
and makes build larger.  Instead, in your OLPC OS builder branch;

1.  edit modules/base/kspkglist.10.core.inc to remove
ds-backup-client,

2.  edit modules/base/kspost.10.core.inc to remove systemctl enable
ds-backup.timer, and;

3.  edit modules/base/kspost.10.core.inc to echo gnome to
.olpc-active-desktop file.
