A bit off topic, but I thought worth the comment: Recently a friend of
mine came by with the latest Mandrake ... on 5 (or was it 7) CDs!!!
That is way too much, and IMHO, not the way to bundle an O/S --- how
could that number of software programs possibly be used by any one
person? I don't think you could even read the rpm -qip on each
package before the next release made it obsolete.
Instead, the following website caught my eye today on LinuxPR:
http://www.linux2order.com/frame.html?build.html
Dig: You drop by the Mandrake site, click off what you need, and _that_
is what you get on your CD. To do this, we would need to modify the
installer to be sensitive to what is actually on each of the CDs, but
the points we'd score as "your Linux _your_ way" would be immense.
Comments?
