16 why would you need a mailer at all on a livecd ? Is the livecd intended
17 to provide a full desktop experience whichever desktop is chosen or is
18 it just provided as a way to have something to do while you are
19 installing and/or tools to fix your install ?

21 if it's not intended to be a full desktop experience (garnome does it
22 very well for gnome afaik) then you could install only gnome-light for a
23 start.
