So I wonder: should we screw the medium CD and go officially for 1GB sticks as our medium? (or require DVD medium for non-usb).
I "vote" for 1 (or maybe 1.2 or so) gig ISO for liveusb/livedvd and drop the CD. openSUSE is too cool for CDs ;-)
It's still a reasonably small download and will fit a 2 gig usb stick.
Also it's a medium-to-long-term solution. Even if we manage to squeeze under 700 megs this time we'll have the same problem again next week and the week after...
This also has the added benefit that people won't have to install several hundred megs of "recommended" packages post-install on every installaton they do from the live medium to have a complete, fully functional experience. So overall they'll probably save bandwidth - at least if they perform more than one installation with the medium in its lifetime.
I agree this this reasoning and selection. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
