I know how many use texlive and I don't talk about dropping it out of the distribution, but I can't hold it on DVD unless I drop several other packages.
The world's most popular distro seems to get along without having it on their media I think ;-) Of course, that's easy for me to say since I'm not a Tex user myself...
To give you an impression let me give you a list of packages on build112 DVD sorted by size:
32M x86_64/koffice-illustration-1.6.3-214.26.x86_64.rpm
That should be replaced with koffice2-krita, which it seems might save quite some space.
25M x86_64/kdebase3-3.5.10-22.12.x86_64.rpm
Maybe this could be cleaned up/splitted. Who'll need kde3 konsole, kwrite, kate, konq etc. Those apps will just be menu clutter, confusion and wasted space on 11.2 imo.
20M x86_64/frozen-bubble-2.2.0rc1-1.46.x86_64.rpm
It's fun, but not sure it's _that_ fun.
19M noarch/OpenOffice_org-icon-themes-3.1.0.2-1.1.noarch.rpm
Must be some potential for splitting/dropping here. Maybe only include tango, krystal and perhaps high contrast for accessibility reasons, and drop the others or put them in a separate package online. Actually it might even make sense to use Tango as default in KDE4 installations too :-/
So let's discuss what the DVDs should be optimized for.
Of course it should definitely cover the most common scenarios. * Full KDE home user desktop * Full GNOME home user desktop * LAMP server * Full Xfce home user desktop * icewm * basic devel stuff (compiler, an editor or two, kernel-source, etc.) Beyond that my suggested priorities would be something like: 1) translations, fonts for exotic languages 2) home user apps (multimedia, games) 3) "productivity" and science apps (scribus, inkscape, etc.) 4) server apps 5) development tools -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
