I agree with Nicu on this. I think there's reason to justify something like
5-10 MB on a LiveCD to give a good intro to Fedora. I did the cheese demo
and it
was actually pretty hefty, but most of the ones that Paul did were no more
than 5MB. I suppose we'd be going right to the end of the CD and have to
remove *one* thing.
What if this was on the install DVD to start? Maybe having Miro installed
in the default LiveCD with the rss from the fedora channel preloaded?
Cheers,
Clint
This sounds like a great idea! How would users be notified that there
is Miro with a rss Fedora chanell setup for them? Some short readme on
the desktop? A short video showing using Miro with Fedora channel?
Some html page readme on first firefox startup? Nothing of the above?
Something totally different?
Cheers,
Valent.
