Feature added by: Vasil Yakauleu (vasilbelarus) Feature #312307, revision 1 Title: Add usb_modeswitch and splix packages to live CD`s openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vasil Yakauleu (vasilbelarus) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My point of view is that CD`s(not DVD`s) should contain all packages required to install the system, to setup internet connection (then users can download all they need) and to support as maximum hardware as possible. Therefore, I think that packages 1)usb_modeswitch (usb_modeswitch-data and tcl as dependencies)= about 5,5Mb to provide a possibility connect to the internet for people with UMTS/3G wireless WAN devices. 2)splix= 3,4Mb to provide better support for SPL printers should be added to live CD`s. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312307
