Hi,
I just tried to evaluate a simple bug and in the process I found that I blocked libreoffice from the live cds in september and as such not a single milestone was released with libreoffice on live cds.
That's unfortunately nothing I can readd now as libreoffice is worth at least 65MB. My plan was to pimp the live cds to be 1G and run from stick, but I never had the time to do that ;(
So I guess our 12.3 live cds will have to live without libreoffice.
The present situation with the LiveCD's is quite disappointing in my opinion, from the point of view of software selection: 1. the GNOME LiveCD contains neither banshee nor rhythmbox, so no audio player that has a library, etc. 2. the KDE LiveCD has neither an audio player, nor a video player, in fact nothing to play multimedia on (at least the GNOME LiveCD contains totem, the video player, thankfully) 3. neither LiveCD contains GIMP and LibreOffice. 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? Thanks and bye. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
