I went through the list of packages from rpm -qa on the Live CD looking for things that can be removed. Unfortunately, it's already cut pretty close to the bone. Mono really hurts us, since its bindings libs bring in a lot of dependencies.
I did find some candidates for removal, though:
bug-buddy - 1985624 bytes * We have no debuginfo anyway, so it's next to useless. * The google breakpad part is huge. * It also installs a static version of the breakpad lib (?!).
xterm - 1989755 bytes * I don't think we need two terminal programs, especially not when one is so huge. gnome-terminal doesn't have any serious technical shortcomings, and xterm is pretty much hidden from the user as it is.
icewm - 1017076 bytes icewm-lite - 643576 bytes * Superfluous window manager. * Is this needed for the installer or yast somehow?
These are probably good to go
tasque - 677049 bytes * I don't think this is mature enough to warrant the space on the Live CD. * Evolution has task support. * Requires Inet connectivity? * Currently crashes on start due to missing Mono dep NDesk.DBus.GLib.
xournal - 330731 bytes * It's a note-taking app that looks like a real journal with margins and guide lines. Lets you doodle. * Too specialized for the Live CD? * We're shipping Tomboy notes.
These two can be useful for a lot of people. I'd probably say keep Tasque (unless it's incredibly buggy) and remove Xournal. -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Mail <kevin.dupuy@opensuse.org> | Yo.media: 225-590-5961 Swift Change for a Green Future: Kat Swift for President www.VoteSwift.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
