Tumbleweed still seems to be using the old way of building images while leap 15 is using the new way, so its likely that more thought has gone into whats currently on the Leap DVD then the Tumbleweed one.
If you really need xfce on a disk image and wanted to swap it out in place of kde you could easily do it by branching a package on obs and probably changing around 3 lines.
I think that dumping the DVD size limit and having all desktops available would be more useful.
With KDE and GNOME we already have some redundancy wrt desktops on the DVD. That alone brings us to 4.1GB. The DVD size is a physical hard limit. There's just not more space on an actual blank DVD.
Nobody uses DVD today. We use USB sticks.
I don't use either, but that's perhaps not a bad point. Is the DVD format dead or dying for this kind of thing? For installation from local media, might it be an idea to up the size? I guess we wouldn't want to carry two (DVD + USB).
I have not used a DVD for installation in ages. Current laptops don't have one. New computers have Blue Ray drives instead.
Besides, there are double layer DVD, if absolutely needed.
The smaller stick I can get is 8 GB, that sounds like a reasonable limit today.
The purpose of the installation DVD is installing without needing network at install time - but if we need Internet to be able to install some of the patterns, the purpose is broken. It becomes a Net Install with bigger media.

the DVD iso was never meant to replace online access. the DVD was just to get a working system w/o the necessity of going "online". you can still install a system from DVD and then go online and install your perferred desktop environment. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
