Umm... yes, we do. Remember that an offline install requires the packages to exist on the LiveCD. If we did only half of GNOME, nobody could install GNOME. The problem is that packages keep growing in size, so we have to reduce the number of packages every release to keep up with the growing space requirements. This is starting to become impossible while still maintaining the package set on the CD. Honestly, I was even considering switching to fluxbox on the CD so we could include more useful packages. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
