BACKGROUND:
A few years ago one could get a FreeBSD CD and install X and get a
decent basic system from one CD.
One can still do this with Ubuntu today as well.
Why can't we have a small window manager like icewm along with Firefox
3.0+ be among the packages on the first FreeBSD CD so a basic working
system with a web browser can be a default install? Is it that X.org is
now too big?
SUMMARY:
I would like to see FreeBSD 7.1 add to its disc1:
1) X.org
2) icewm
3) firefox-3.0
4) support for Intel 4965 wireless drivers
5) support for Marvell 88E8040 ethernet driver
If you just want na instant workstation, why you just don't try Freesbie
or something like that?
If I install FreeBSD on a PC I expect this installation to live there
for some years. I can spend some hours/days installing and configuring
what I really need. At least this is the way I see it. Maybe I'm
misunderstanding you.
