Maybe someone can clarify this for me..the LiveCD, is: |
2 |
|
3 |
(1) the INSTALL cd we're all familiar with or |
4 |
(2) a Knoppix-like cd that boots into Gnome/KDE/<insert wm> |
5 |
|
6 |
If (1), honestly...does someone NEED samba upon the install? if they |
7 |
have broadband, they can download the files anyways. |
8 |
|
9 |
If (2), this would be the only situation where I could see sticking what |
10 |
is required for samba on the cd. It gives the users the ability to test |
11 |
the waters of how easily they can share files linux <-> Windows. |
12 |
|
13 |
I guess I am just concerned with adding bloat (someone mentioned another |
14 |
22MB) to the cd where it's just not needed. |
15 |
|
16 |
my 1+1 cents, |
