Only the following are installed: - x-window-system-core - xterm - twm - menu And nothing from gnome desktop environment. The big directories on the CD are: /doc 19MB (including the manual in 14 languages) /install 20MB (kernels + initrds) /pool 593MB The big dirs (> 5MB) in pool are: 5769 g/gtk+2.0 5988 x/xfonts-base 6576 g/gcc-4.0 7007 p/perl 7628 g/gcc-4.1 7641 d/doc-linux 13140 m/mesa 15134 g/glibc 17685 k/kdelibs 77012 l/linux-2.6 88295 k/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386 154723 l/linux-2.6.16 Looks like we at least need to drop some kernel flavors: - we can save 76M easy by not including 2.6.15 - we can save another 70M by not including 2.6.16 xen and vserver images - 2.4 is so big because there are so many processor types, but I expect that has always been the case; will be nice to be able to drop that after Beta 3 though We could also save space by dropping kde. Currently only kdebase and kdelibs are included. I doubt that there is room for both GNOME and KDE on the first CD anyway. Having both gcc-4.0 and gcc-4.1 hurst too; no idea if that can be avoided ATM though.
