Hi,
You may have noticed or may be not, but I've experimented a bit with the factory live cds.
While the 11.1 livecds used some combination of squashfs+aufs, the factory live cds use some new, experimental file system with the working title "doenerfs", which embeds an ext3 image.
As this uses lzma compression, the size went from ~680MB to ~570MB for a GNOME live cd@ i586. Now I had several requests in the past to add additional software that I had to refuse because there just wasn't enough room on the CD (and I need to extra MB as buffer because with compression the size required can jump quite considerable from build to build).
So I ask: what do you think I should add.
Open requests are basically everything installed by the DVD and is not from the CD. This includes e.g.:
- gimp - java runtime - beagle - the complete printing locally stack (e.g. drivers, filters) - 4 more text editors - 3 more shells
And there is the request to include more languages on the livecd. This is actually my preferred solution - as I see the live cd use case (smaller download) more visible in countries that speak languages other languages than german and english. If you look at http://en.opensuse.org/Statistics, this would mean: russian, italian, spanish, spanish, polish, french (as it fits).
Of course a third option is: leaving the live cd at 570MB for smaller download (and/or more free space on a USB stick).
