I feelt that the rescue package list is not really 'complete' yet, as a
resulting image can/should use the full cdrom size (with reasonable
packages though, not random junk :).
There is an advantage to having a smaller image in that it can fit on
a small size CD or maybe a smaller flash disk or something, and is
easier to download and manage, and of course that it will be much
longer before it bloats to be too big :-).
But yes it should be up to several hundred Mb probably.
Additionally, having to do yet another *initial* upload for another
flavour would have cost me like another half of a day delay in getting
the release out. I plan to upload new snapshots beginning next week,
these should be syncing quite fast now, thanks to rsync, so that the
additional rescue flavour should be present from then on.
Right. Yay.
Since there are a lot of
rescue/forensic/backup/security/network-diagnose like packages in debian
which nobody can all know, the most appreciated thing would be to get
additions/updates for the following file in the live-helper sources to
make it as good as possible:
http://git.debian.net/?p=live-helper.git;a=blob;f=lists/rescue
I'll take a look and get back to you.
Would it be helpful of me to run a poll on debian-devel or even
debian-user to see what people's favourite toys are ?
One of mine would be gpg :-).
Ian.
