- we seriously think about dropping the one CD solutions and concentrate on the installable live CDs + providing a live USB stick
Would it be possible to include the normal installer on the live-cd.
The user could then have the choice at grub between booting live system or going straight to conventional installer. Taking that there is no repository on the live cd, it can't be a conventional installer.
This would address the issue of the extra memory requirements of live install. Plus the risk of live system not being able to start in some cases because of X-issues.
If the live system won't start, you think people still want to install? If so, boot with 3 in the boot prompt and call yast2 live-installer after root login ;)
Live USB system sounds like a very good idea - but I think people will use it more as a portable system and for promotional purposes, than for rescue purposes. Maybe it would be better to drop graphics and multimedia apps than office and games.
graphics and multimedia make up ~30MB, office and games ~300MB :) And the adventage of the USB image would be: you can zypper in -t pattern office Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
