Removing printing support doesn't sound like a good idea for something that is going to be used in US schools and homes. <div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/31 Sebastian Dziallas <<a href="mailto:sebastian@when.com">sebastian@when.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">Sebastian Dziallas wrote: > Marco Pesenti Gritti wrote: >> On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 5:19 PM, Caroline Meeks <<a href="mailto:solutiongrove@gmail.com">solutiongrove@gmail.com</a>> wrote: >>> Yes yum install would work >> So Simon, if you want to get rid of GNOME and add the yum bits to the >> instructions about switching to GNOME on the Soas page, please go >> ahead :) >> >> Marco > > Well, how does working on reducing the size of the Fedora Sugar Spin > sound to you?

When switching to F10, it's 40 MB smaller. Then I went on and removed stuff from the fedora-live-base.ks like dial-up-, font-, and printing-support (I'll need to check whether doing a -@dial-up works with the most recent pykickstart build - see also here [1]). To sum it up, this reduced the size again and it should be now somewhere around 350 MB. Cleaning up /usr/share with regard to the locales would give us another 100 MB free, though. --Sebastian [1] <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428835" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428835</a> <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">_______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- "Don't think for a minute that power concedes.
