We should all try to be very clear with each other, it is often hard to fully express ourselves via faceless text. :) > @ all other toriosadores, ToriOS needs input from more people in this > discussion in order to find a solution that is good enough. Please > tell us what *you* think :-) Best regards Nio Hey all, I am willing to contribute financially as well, I currently do not have much to add but I think between Nio and I we could split the yearly cost, until we received more support or others chime in. I have been extremely busy recently, and have not had the time to do much. I have been working on rebasing for trusty, the main issue I face there is the increased size of the dependencies. Many things now require things we do not use/want/need, such as NetworkManager. This requires a lot more dependencies (initial systemd stuff that was introduced in 14.04) It will take a while to get a decent sized CD out of this, as OBI requires a tarball... perhaps we could offer a separate solution where we have a CD image that requires a separate download of the tarball... though I will continue to look through things and see where I can cut corners (in size not quality of course). The best I have gotten so far is around 800MiB This is too much for a CD, and does not include Seamonkey in any form (live or installed). I might be able to shirnk it more (removing things like synaptic? possibly using my battery monitor (very small gtk program) instead of the XFCE power manager) I still need to test things more but the space issue is the largest. We fixed nearly everything with OBI in our previous testing and have made it much more robust. I do wish there was a smaller network manager that did not require all the gnome stuff, and worked as well (including native icon theme support), but I haven't found one yet. -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
