</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So here is the discussion about what isos we should keep or have for

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> need to take some decisions.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Here are some prerequisites I can see for what I can read in comments

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - provide a full open source software version
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Is that necessary? Instead you could have a checkbox &quot;install

</I>
I would personally prefer this too. That said, having a separate
repository on the media itself is almost the same as having two iso's
with different package selections (where one is a subset of the other),
so in terms of QA, it's about the same (less downloading but the same
number of installs).

Still probably a net positive tho'.

&gt;&gt;<i> - provide CD iso(s) so that it can be quick to download (people having 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> low band-width or paying depending how much they use it)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - provide live version(s)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> IMHO you could simply go for CD == live (and installable).
</I>
Perhaps, but the &quot;live version(s)&quot; did not necessarily specify a CD...
it could well have been a Live DVD. So I guess that's a question to
answer, should the live media be CD sized? (and I don't want to suggest
for a second that it would be worth providing both!)
