At UDS-O, we discussed CD space again (as at many a past UDS). Colin has nicely summarized the discussion:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/OneiricCDSizing Following on the tail of this, a few of us have been talking more about the idea of shrinking the 4.3GB DVD image down to a 1.5GB flash card/USB stick/DVD image. It's looking interesting enough to be worth talking about it more broadly. Ubuntu desktop will be sticking with the ~700MB image size in Oneiric (see the wiki page for details), so this isn't about reopening that discussion or about fitting things on the 700MB image. A few questions: - Does a 1.5GB image sound useful? - 1.5GB is what we keep coming back to, because it's a nice size to fit on a cheap 2GB flash card/USB stick with room for formatting and persistent data storage. It's about double the size of the current CD image, which allows plenty of room for a generous desktop image, without the painfully large download of the 4.3GB image. What other size considerations come to mind? - What should we cut from the current DVD image (currently a superset of desktop, alternate, and server)? Or, perhaps more simply, what would be worth adding beyond the current 700MB CD image?
