Discussion was more about 1GB instead of 700 or 800MB...
No, rather between 700 and 1000 MB, as needed.
Allthough i'm in favour of live-images of 1GB there is one risk: With repair or netboot images the incentive to keep the image small is obvious. Just like cd 700MB limitation of a cdrom.
Which is why there is also the proposal to also make a small rescue CD with xfce or another small desktop; the big desktops would have the needed space, and the people that need a CD would have a CD. And the people that asked for a rescue system would have it. And the marketing people could boast about having also xfce (or whatever) as a desktop. :-)
System Rescue CD pretty much has the rescue CD market nailed down. If you're just looking to make an openSUSE Rescue CD, IceWM or even OpenBox is fine - XFCE or even LXDE is overkill. You just need something that can exercise / test X Windows, unb0rk nine different flavors of bootloaders, get the network up and running and chroot into the rescue target. ;-)
I tend to use an openSUSE NET iso or a knoppix iso (usually very old, but I always seem to have a copy about). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
