Feature changed by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Feature #310364, revision 4 Title: Add DVD's of each DE openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) Description: In openSUSE 10.3, there were CD's that you could use to install openSUSE KDE or GNOME alone. I think it would be great to create individual DVDs for each Deskltop Environment, in addition to the current media, so you can install GNOME and loads of software with it. A KDE user could have 4.7 GB of KDE software that they would use, rather than XFCE, GNOME, and LXDE software they wouldn't use. Same for GNOME users. I would imagine that they had to drop some packes from the distribution to make room for LXDE in 11.3 and KDE 3 in 11.1 and 11.0. This would make installing software convenient for computers without an internet connection. Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-08-19 20:07:04) Why do we need individual DVDs for each DE when the single DVD can contain all four? #2: Anomyous Anomyous (jcat123) (2010-08-22 04:03:09) So more software can be included for each DE. + #3: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2010-08-22 11:46:58) (reply to #2) + You can run any Linux software in any desktop environment (DE), or + window manager, so splitting selection by DE will give us half empty + DVDs and need to switch DVDs when we want something that belongs to + different DE. Plus, what to do with software that is not DE specific, + like OpenOffice and many more? Put on separate DVD? + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310364
