Hi All,

   Laca thanks for the list.

Based on this I looked at what could be dropped from the liveCD. I came up with
   a preliminary list that could free up around 31 MB on the CD.

See the details of each package with "justification" for dropping the package in the attached txt file.

         Let me know what you think,

         Cheers,

               Erwann

Dave,

This is gonna be depressing, but the size of the GNOME packages
with the 2.24 update is expected to increase by about 11MB
(compressed!)  Attached is a StarOffice spreadsheed (and a pdf
export for easier reading).

It looks likes like firefox3 accounts for almost 1/3 of the
size increase.

There is 1 new required package, SUNWlibtasn1 but we should
also consider SUNWespeak and SUNWgnome-a11y-speech-espeak for
better accessibility support.

Filters are not yet implemented.

One possible outcome here is that we ask IPS to kick up the priority of implementing filters to help solve the problem.

Anyway, thanks for digging in, Laca. We can certainly ensure that stuff that's split out into separate packages stays out. For the moment, no need to do anything, I'm waiting on some data about l10n and other things before putting together revised recommendations. Are there any other significant changes in the 2.23.x packages that we need to account for?
