Hi,
+
+So RC (and final) are getting closer, as usual the livecds are
+problematic to get nice contents, while staying within the 700M limit
+
+Current RC build got me this:
+
+668M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Africa-India-i586-CD.iso
+693M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Africa-India-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+703M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Asia-Noindia-i586-CD.iso
+728M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Asia-Noindia-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+684M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe1-Americas-i586-CD.iso
+709M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe1-Americas-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+697M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe2-i586-CD.iso
+722M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe2-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+662M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Africa-India-i586-CD.iso
+686M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Africa-India-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+710M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Asia-Noindia-i586-CD.iso
+734M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Asia-Noindia-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+690M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe1-Americas-i586-CD.iso
+714M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe1-Americas-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+720M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe2-i586-CD.iso
+744M	Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe2-x86_64-CD.iso
+
+
+So atleast every cd with size > 700M need to loose some stuff...
+
+So please help out with suggestions...
+
+
+You can check out current contents here:
+
+http://tmb.mine.nu/Mageia/2/Mageia-2-rc-LiveCDs/
+
+Files are:
+*.langs      - Supported languages on the CD
+*.lst        - installed package list, sorted alphabetically
+*.lst.full   - installed packages list, sorted by size
+
+
+Now, remember that the livecds are squashfs compressed images,
+so in order to drop ~20M on a cd, I need to drop ~30M-100M of
+rpms depending on content...
+
+Also if you find something missing that relly _must_ be on the
+cds (not just nice to have)... please comment on that too
