Sorry, it might be useful to include a link to the ISO stuff, for quick reference:

http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/iso/

the 'lastest' folder has the ISO files expanded and is our staging area for the next image. You can see the structure of the files in there. You will need to use the ftp:// protocol to browse the files, however, because there is a tract there as index.html

ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/iso/latest/

Hey guys,

Our CD ISO is horribly outdated. I still get occasional requests for CDs (about 2 per month) and I would guess people still might download the ISO and burn CDs themselves. We have too many modules now to fix on 1 CD.

Do you guys have any thoughts as to what we should do with this?

We have a quite a few nice feature for building an install media: you can define a set of preselected modules for installation, so the media could contain 300 modules, but say, 25 could be preselected so when you go to install, it is ready with a default module set.

You can typically run most SWORD apps directly from the media without installing.

We have secured permission to include a few Gospel tracts so churches or other organizations can hand these out and have them autorun a presentation of the Gospel.

Anyway, our ISO update script grabs all the latest main-repo modules when updating the ISO image, but we might want to include some of the other repos we host, as well (Wycliffe?).

Other software?

Expand to a full DVD image and split to 2 CD ISOs?

These are just thoughts on the top of my head. Any input? Anyone excited to maintain something like this?

Troy
