And don't forget backups too - many people use our LiveCDs as rescue |
| 22 |
CDs. |

Regardless, a solution needs to be found that satisfies our space |
| 25 |
requirements (25 MB is way too big) and offers us the functionality that |
| 26 |
we need. Chris (and others) mentioned a stripped down smbclient package. |

Can we add a livecd USEflag to the samba ebuild and go from there? |
