Dear geekos,
Our beloved DVD, which we build for each Tumbleweed snapshot, is really at its limits space wise (today's snapshot actually grew over size compared to the last one, and I already had to drop some things).
I'm looking to gain more space to free up; but it seems not to be that easy.
One candidate I could identify is * seamonkey
We do have MozillaFirebird and Thunderbird on the disk. Of course there is NO topic AT ALL to remove this from the repositories! Just from the DVDs.
How would everybody feel if this were to be removed from the main DVDs and only be available from the online repositories?
Do you have any other great suggestions on what we could spare on the DVD, getting some more air to breath (the limit is hard - no need to negotiate the size of the DVD)
Cheers, Dominique
Perhaps we could to reduce the number of alternatives for programs already installed by default. For example, if GNOME installs Music by default, keep either Banshee or Rhythmbox but not both. I'm not sure if they are equivalent, it's just an example.
That is indeed something we're trying to do already for the Live CDs and I think it is done already for the DVD. Not getting rid of alternatives per se on the DVD, but having a reduction where it makes sense... This thought is also what lead me to propose the removal of seamonkey in first place.
