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
As somebody who uses Seamonkey and who pays(!! -- yes, I have a subscriptiom) for each openSUSE-DVD: yes, drop it.
Those of us who use Seamonkey are more than likely to switch to the OBS repository for a current version anyhow, so go for it. It's a good candidate to get rid of for the DVD.
Thanks Joachim!
I'm happy to hear from actual users of this package. After all, THOSE are the users affected by the change.

I argue 99% (or more) of users of a deleted package won't even know it was deleted. During the install the online repos will be setup and the deleted packages installed from the online repo. For me, I really don't care if the squid proxy comes from DVD or an online repo. (If the squid proxy is currently on the DVD, I say kill it.) I suspect very few of the participants in this thread will even notice if/when packages they routinely use are deleted from the DVD. All critical network related packages should be on the NETWORK CD. Anything on the network cd obviously needs to be on the dvd. For the vast majority of users, everything else is just a nicety. You could just randomly throw darts at the list of packages on the DVD and not on the CD and any of them can be removed with little or no end-user visibility. The exception is users that install openSUSE on machines isolated from the Internet. I don't do that, so I have no input worth considering. No one responding to this thread has said they do that, so none of us have a meaningful input as far as I'm concerned. fyi: I do run openSUSE live media, but I use susestudio to build exactly what I want.
