Ah, so the problem is that it can't boot from a DVD-R? I'm aiming that 3.0/4.0 will be under a 700MB .iso so that legacy machines are supported by CD-R install. For comparison, Ubuntu Studio is more than 1.5GB so I guess they aren't targeting pre-DVD machines at all. > This is inspiring me to look into the possibility of creating a 64studio > net-installer when I have a bit more time. I figure if you don't have a DVD drive or a machine new enough to boot from USB then you may not have broadband either, so a net install may be very slow. > Judging by Daniel's > recent activity, it seems like now might be a good time to start studying PDK. I'd highly recommend that, it's an excellent tool. As Free pointed out recently, PDK means people can use our components to prepare their own .iso with the packages and pre-seed they require, which is potentially another good way we can differentiate ourselves from Ubuntu Studio and other ready-made multimedia distro projects. I still think we should provide an 'example' .iso for people who aren't ready to learn PDK and just want the typical, recommended choices. Cheers!
