If the Live-CD version uses the same +</I>><i> strategy as the Mandriva time, then I think there won't be such +</I>><i> Live-CD version. +</I>><i> The most close one is the mininal-dual arch CD, but that doesn't work +</I>><i> as Live CD. +</I> +It would be useful to have more regional CD ISOs, with fewer +localisations, to save a lot of space. +In the past, my boot/operating system partition had very limited space. +By removing unused localisations - not counting separate localisation +packages, which weren't installed - I was able to save some 15% of +installed space on this partition. (Note that my Home directory and all +personnal files were on other partitions.) + +I think that OpenOffice (or LibreOffice or Go-OO variants) is important +to include. +By minimizing the localisations, of which each has its own package in +Openoffice (or the variants), a lot of space would be freed. +Excluding Gimp, which is huge, is not a bad idea, as many would not be +editing photos, and it could be always downloaded separately. +As for games, there are many small games - it's just excluding the +larger games that would save much space. + +By the way, a CD ISO can be written to a DVD. The advantage is faster +and more reliable writing (initially) and faster reading. As well, a +somewhat larger size is not a problem for a DVD. +Of course it helps to have access to a DVD writer, and at least a reader +capable of reading a DVD on the computer of the install. + +Note that presently Mandriva has a limited choise of ISOs : +1) Live installable "one" CDs - which start very slowly, and if +installed, don't give a choice of what to install (at least in the past). +These give a choice of KDE or Gnome desktops, and localisations by (very +large) regions. +Which of course could be installed on a DVD for greater speed. + +2) A installable non-live "dual" 32-bit/64-bit CD, for a minimal +installation. + +3) 2 installable non-live DVDs, one 32-bit, the other 64-bit, for a full +installation. + +So presently (since at least a year or two) there are no ISOs focused on +users who wish make complete installations from CDs, instead of using a +DVD, or downloading a lot of applications individually via Internet. + +In other words, nothing focused on bandwidth-restricted users. +Unless, of course, they get the DVD (or CD) without downloading it +themselves. +Which brings to mind the idea of shipping or otherwise distributing +ready-written DVDs and live CDs. And why not a live DVD ? + +my 2 cents :) + +- André +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002726.html">[Mageia-discuss] Suggestions for the ISO +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002733.html">[Mageia-discuss] Suggestions for the ISO +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2732">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2732">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2732">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2732">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
