> [1] > http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/Slim_Install/slim_annoucememts/ Thanks for the revised list, Dave. Sanjay asked me about what other components from SFW might be useful on the Live CD and I've come up with two lists. The first group has a fairly small footprint on the CD (~9MB) and includes a number of useful client utilities and GNU commands. The second group I'm not so sure about given the space these packages would take and the fact that I believe their functionality is handled via other components such as Gimp and Evince. However, I'm open to including them if others believe they're useful. All sizes are bzip2 compressed, your milage may vary. dsc Proposed additions ================== 2K SUNWa2psr a2ps - GNU Any to PostScript filter (root) 569K SUNWa2psu a2ps - GNU Any to PostScript filter (user) 865K SUNWbind BIND DNS Name server and tools[1] 3K SUNWbindr BIND Name server Manifest[1] 0K SUNWgcmn gcmn - Common GNU package 59K SUNWggrp ggrep - GNU grep utilities 41K SUNWgpch The GNU Patch utility 93K SUNWgtar gtar - GNU tar 60K SUNWless The GNU pager (less) 16K SUNWlibusbugen SUN libusb ugen plugin 145K SUNWlxml-python The XML library - Python bindings[2] 26K SUNWlxsl-python The XSLT library - Python bindings[2] 265K SUNWncft NcFTP - client application implementing FTP 713K SUNWnmap nmap - Network Mapper 60K SUNWpsutils psutils - PostScript utilities 3K SUNWrpm Utilities for processing RPM archives 153K SUNWrsync rsync 0K SUNWsfdoc GNU and open source documentation 2.6M SUNWsfinf GNU and open source info pages 1.0M SUNWsfman GNU and open source man pages 169K SUNWtcsh Tenex C-shell (tcsh) 233K SUNWtexi GNU texinfo - Texinfo utilities (texinfo) 0K SUNWwgetr GNU wget - utility to retrieve files from the World 113K SUNWwgetu wget - GNU wget 61K SUNWzip The Info-Zip (zip) compression utility 857K SUNWzsh Z shell (zsh) Other potential additions ========================= 73K SUNWGlib GLIB - Library of useful routines for C programming 0K SUNWGtkr GTK - The GIMP Toolkit (Root) 545K SUNWGtku GTK - The GIMP Toolkit (Usr) 3.5M SUNWimagick ImageMagick - Image Manipulation Utilities and 4.3M SUNWgscr espgs - ESP GhostScript 721K SUNWgsfot GNU Ghostscript Fonts (Other) 1.7M SUNWgsfst GNU Ghostscript Fonts (Standard) [1] DNS server doesn't really belong but as currently packages, the DNS clients are also included in this package.
