[debian-knoppix] Please, improve Gnome (Software recommendations for LinuxTag DVD edition)
Hi,
I looked at Knoppix DVD package list at http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/knoppix/packages-dvd.txt
It seems, that gnome isn't perfect in this DVD - there are missing some packages:
gnome-vfs-extras2 - gnome-vfs module that allows you to access Windows (samba) network shares easily;
dekstop-base - common files for the Debian Desktop (for KDE and GNOME);
nautilus-gtkhtmll - HTML View for Nautilus;
nautilus-cd-burner - CD Burning front-end for Nautilus;
totem - A user-friendly movie player for the Gnome desktop based on xine;
gnome-system-tools - The GNOME System Tools are a set of cross-platform configuration utilities for Linux and other Unices. Currently there are user-friendly tools for setting date/time, network configuration tools (ethernet, modem, wavelan, Parallel Line and IR LAN), user management and other useful tools.
Please, include gnome-system-tools, because current network configuration tools are only not user-friendly hack (and they also disappeare after hdinstall).
I think gnome print manager should be added - see gnome-printinfo package at http://www.burtonini.com/debian/unstable,
also there are gnome-vfs-sftp (ssh/sftp support for nautilus and other gnome-vfs supporting apps)
All suggested packages waste only few MB of space.
Btw, It would be nice if you update some gnome-related packages (at least nautilus and eog) from unstable.
Also if there is wine, maybe would be nice to include dosemu? only two packages - dosemu and dosemu-freedos ;)
Good luck,
Mantas Kriauciunas
