And really, is space really that much of a premium on install media?
I mean, flash storage is so cheap that it's hard to find anything
smaller than 32GB these days, and you have to go back like 20 years to
find machines that are limited to CD... and worse come to worse, you
can just put extra
Your premise assumes that internet access is already connected and
available on the computer where the iso is running and Orca is to be
installed. Unfortunately this is not every computer, especially those
that must connect to wifi or any other type of internet services that

An idea for all linux distributions with orca in their repositories and
not enough space to have it on their install disks.
Put a question up on the screen and allow a reasonable number of seconds
to pass to get an answer. No answer, download and install orca and all of
its dependencies, run
When I retired to Pennsylvania, I could have had Windows for an operating
system and chose not to go that route. Where I live is rural and as such
help desk calls and service would have been expensive. With Linux if the
system runs into a problem I can either fix the problem or reinstall the

Perhaps because some people prefer operating systems that:
- Don’t spy on them
- Don’t start random diagnostic services taking up most of the CPU
- Won’t bloat them with a pile of programs requiring
Slint can be installed once booted by use of the setup command. Once done
you answer questions about your hardware and preferences and once enough

I worked some years back on a menu system that had some scripts that
would start a very small window manager and run Orca and the browser,
email, whatever required a graphical environment. This system was
designed to be self-contained and distro-agnostic, although as I recall
it used jwm as the

I'd suggest having a minimal window manager like i3 for this, which is
the first thing that came to mind. Very, very minimal and easy to set up
and configure with a text config file which means you can tweak it to
remove all the stuff you don't want
Mostly going with i3 since it hasn't
Hi list,
I am forced to become a graphical environment user so I will begin my adventure
with Orca.
I would like to have a very minimal installation of such environment. I want to
have complete setup wich is quite enough for Orca and web browser such as
Chromium or Firefox. Can you recommend
