Thanks. I knew there had to be some reason for it, but couldn't |
| 21 |
remember what it was off the top of my head. Luckily, this won't be |
| 22 |
much of an issue with the next release, since we're switching to Xfce |
| 23 |
rather than GNOME to bring the size down even further and to try to |
| 24 |
produce a more useful (as in more tools) LiveCD. Of course, the LiveDVD |
| 25 |
will have everything on it, as it does now. |
