Cool! We are moving OLPC's builds towards being created with
livecd-tools on F11, so we should work together on these spins.
Yeah, this would be great! :)

Yes, it's the Xorg driver, as reported by Marco in this thread:

Oh, I didn't recall this one. Mh! Are there already plans on how to move
on regarding this?

I'd love to see a similarly-trimmed-down GNOME spin.
Thanks!

Heh. It's funny that I based this on the work I did with Jim some month
ago... but here you go: I just built and tested such a spin with GNOME.
It's around 285 MB, even though I included e.g. stuff like firefox,
which is quite big.
Sounds like a beginning, hu? ;)
