As a result the LiveCD's feel rather unproductive at this stage. However, the good thing is that they boot and work (from a USB stick) extremely fast and responsively, and there aren't any bugs pointing to the Live media not booting from USB that I have seen. I don't know how easy or difficult it would be at this stage to simply add the missing software (and some more if there is more space) to the Live media patterns (so pardon me if this sounds incredulous), but switching to 1 GB medias, instead of trying to fit things on a CD, even at this stage would be extremely useful and a step in the right direction. Perhaps we could take a re-look at this?
Hi,
Adding software is easy, but making our CDs not fit on CD has several consequences:
1. I think we need to provide a small CD that can do rescue tasks offline. I already created a config for a "X11" CD, but I didn't yet test it, nor does it have any useful branding/theming and as such it doesn't feel ready. 2. we need to change software.opensuse.org and tons of documentation
Stephan told me he's confident he can finish the rescue CD image but he is worried about step two, the documentation.
On software.o.o the changes aren't huge. A merge request in https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/tree/master/app/views/main should take care of most things.
The other main page to be updated is https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Download_help of course. And its translations!
Guess this one, still based on 11.4, needs some love too: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_CD_installation
Anyone willing to go over either of those?
