Hi,
I wonder why we have sax2 on the live cds. If X is not working, then it doesn't really make a lot of sense to even try to use the live cd, does it?
Just to give some context: on the GNOME Live CD, only a few packages require qt4: the graphical part of smolt, sax and yast2-qt.
It turns out that:
+ we don't need yast2-qt on the GNOME live cd (as far as I know)
+ we don't specifically need the graphical part of smolt (we do want the non-graphical part to send the data, though)
And then there's sax.
The size of all the qt4 packages is more than 15MB (compressed). That's huge; we could put applications there. The sax2 packages add around 2MB to that. (this is based on the size of the rpm, and the real size used on the livecd can of course be different)
Now, for M5, some packages were removed from the livecd because of space issues. This was a bad surprise. So we're trying to get things back into control.
Thanks,
Vincent
Was the space issue just with the GNOME live cd, or also with the KDE one? If both, it seems a solution that eliminates files from both CDs is needed. If the issue is just the gnome one, then maybe remove sax2 and make it clear on the download page that sax2 is not included, thus many complex graphical environments may not work. For those environments, the full install DVD will be required. Thoughts?
