Don't worry about the CD :-)
But I do. I'm worried that you may be applying first world standards
and expect the deployment sites to run off and download, oh for
example, Java, GCC, and a bunch of other essential tools, whereas the
install distro should include them as a matter of course.
So I'm asking again: why a single CD? This isn't Ubuntu shipping off
a million copies of the latest distro for free, so why the self-
imposed minimalist constraint?
about 30 to 50% of the stuff that pungi
puts there is not needed. I'm trying to shed it so we can fit more
stuff we care about - content as you point out.
As you say, the graphical installer, X, and a lot of other goodness
is taking up space.
A minimalist install /option/ is a Good Thing, but take the very
recent XO deployment at Kliptown for example: because of a shortage
of PCs they have already turned the XS into a workstation.
Same thing we do with the servers in our computer labs.
Please consider this a bit more carefully.
Excellent. Welcome to the list!
TYVM.
Before I bark up the wrong tree, can someone please point me at the
server plan/roadmap?
