Debian splits at least docs and some fonts. See http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/texlive-base.
That sounds like a reasonable compromise. According to Ludwig 90% of what we currently have in the package are fonts, so it seems we can have our cake and eat it by splitting the huge package?
We should really consider dropping installable DVD in favor of Live CD + Addon DVD. Those with fast internet use online repos anyway, those without can use Addon DVD that could be small version of online repos. The benefit: - user get basic working system, - some savings in bandwidth usage, as mandatory download is only 650 MB, - simpler DVD, and - still covered all Internet users. Any disadvantages? -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
