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 :)
