AFAIK, there are no 1.4 KDE/GNOME LiveCDs (with the stages for an arch & |
5 |
GRPs). Sure, most people could download the stage, but most people using such |
6 |
a LiveCD would be more likely to want to use GRPs which are currently only |
7 |
available on the non-KDE/GNOME LiveCDs. Perhaps if GRPs and the other |
8 |
LiveCD-only data were available another way... |
9 |
Just an idea, but could it be possible that we could just distribute just 2 |
10 |
LiveCDs (basic, KDE/GNOME) and have a script which allows people to insert |
11 |
other files into them automaticly (such as stages and GRPs)? In addition to |
12 |
making many more LiveCD combinations possible, such a method could also save |
13 |
mirror space. Those using an OS incapable of running the script could always |
14 |
use the plain LiveCD and download those files onto the new system. |
