Re: Working ISO

 

Hi Israel,

Yes. Have you got any idea about what more to remove from the live session to get within CD size? How big is screenie?

Best regards
Nio

Hi Jack and Nio,
Yes it is getting closer and closer in size!
I think I will simply remove the vim entry, as there is no real reason
to expose that to users in a menu.  Vi/vim users will be able to easily
invoke this from a terminal.
It should work, but there must not be the symlink to vim, but either way
I think it is better to hide this from our users.  It isn't about
removing functionality (vi in terminal will be there) but more about
removing confusion, as vi is extremely confusing to first time users
(uh... how do I close this????) I would be comfortable fixing it if this
was nano, as the menu shows what to do... but vi is not a novice tool.
Much like Arch is not a distro for people who don't know how to use a
terminal :)

Hi,
I tested a few things this time prior to uploading.
No vim
working menu
install pae working

The ISO is 715MiB
There is no sakura,evince or mkusb on the ISO.

So, test it out, I think this one is much improved.  Thanks for your
patience!


Hi Israel,

- The iso file is still too big, 715 MiB, where 703.125 MiB is the
limit, so it is getting closer.

echo "scale=3;737280000/2^20"|bc

+ Installing the PAE kernel (via the install wizard) works again :-)

- It is still the same problem with vim - the menu entry fails, even
though vim is there 'as vi'.

I have not (yet) tested anything else.

Best regards
Nio
