Umm... yes, we do. |

Remember that an offline install requires the packages to exist on the |
| 7 |
LiveCD. If we did only half of GNOME, nobody could install GNOME. The |
| 8 |
problem is that packages keep growing in size, so we have to reduce the |
| 9 |
number of packages every release to keep up with the growing space |
| 10 |
requirements. This is starting to become impossible while still |
| 11 |
maintaining the package set on the CD. Honestly, I was even considering |
| 12 |
switching to fluxbox on the CD so we could include more useful packages. |
