&gt;<i> 2012/10/2 Wolfgang Bornath &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">molch.b at googlemail.com</A>&gt;:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 2012/10/2 R&#233;mi Verschelde &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">remi at verschelde.fr</A>&gt;:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> But I guess I may have misunderstood your point.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Yes, you did :)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 1. My proposal was in no way ro replace all ISOs. There must be some
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;master&quot; ISOs which went through Mageia QA and are distributed as
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;official&quot; ISOs. But the number of different ISOs can be reduced
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> further than currently planned.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 2. Of course one who wants to create a custom ISO has to install
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Mageia first - this he could do using the smallest way there is,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> another live cd, no matter which flavor.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But the advantage is, from this one download and installation he can
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> produce any flavor for any purpose he wants. Example:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I would only need one English live cd. From this I could install the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> system. And then I could create
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>  - live cd with German with the DE of my choice and the software of my
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> personal choice
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>  - live cd in German for German events and to demonstrate to friends
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>  - live cd in German for a magazine, customized to their wishes,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> etc.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> All this also helps to keep everybody satisfied, not only the part who
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> is satisfied with the original Mageia ISOs. As such it would reduce
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> work for Mageia.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> --
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> wobo
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Danke f&#252;r die Erkl&#228;rung :)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Then that makes sense and I can see your point. The &#8220;Live-CD
</I>&gt;<i> generator&#8221; would be used by advanced users, e.g. by Mageia
</I>&gt;<i> contributors wanting to create a set of German LiveCDs for the
</I>&gt;<i> LinuxTag in Berlin, and the average users could still download our
</I>&gt;<i> tested ISOs with all locales on the LiveDVDs / DVDs or in English on
</I>&gt;<i> the LiveCDs.
</I>
Or we could do the obvioous:
 - local user organisations could provide localized live cd isos on
their servers,
 - supporters in such organisations or local &quot;Mageia Usergroups&quot; could
make customized ISOs on request
 - They could have workshops at events on how to roll your own, etc.

There are lots of possibilities, each one of them an improvement of
&quot;marketing&quot;. :)

All it needs is either such a userfriendly system or at least an easy
understandable How-To in the Mageia wiki. In the German MandrivaUser
wiki we did that with a special Mandriva release.

It's just an idea that came to my mind because I have a problem with
the list of planned MGA3 isos (I wrote about that earlier in this
thread).
