Title:
  Fluxus requires racket-common, which is a very large install

Status in Fluxus - a graphical livecoding environment for scheme.:
  New
Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I'm trying to work out how to get the puredyne CD down to CD size, and
  I noticed that "racket-common" has by far the biggest installed size
  out of all packages included. (Almost twice as big as linux-image-*!)

  Fluxus depends on "racket" which depends on "racket-common".

  According to the racket description, it "includes the DrRacket programming environment, a virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone executables, the PLT Scheme web server, extensive libraries, documentation for both beginners and experts, and more. "
  I don't have any idea which of these components are needed by fluxus!
  I imagine it might be possible to have a trimmed-down version (e.g. in the puredyne PPA there could be "racket-tiny" and fluxus could depend on "racket | racket-tiny").

  But in the short term, unless anyone with fluxus or racket expertise
  is willing to take this on (not a trivial job), I suspect we'll have
  to make fluxus a DVD-only inclusion...?
