Yeah, I guess you are right. As the current standalone DVD live image is behaving very well, I decided to announce it to the world to see if we can get some feedback. The desktop provided now is not quite the one provided by the Standalone profile. I activated the studends KDE profile to get some application icons on the desktop. Hopefully it will give us some feedback on the applications listed there. > CDs who focus on special application would be fine like a CD with > programms for Kindergarten ... examination...

Yeah, but I suspect it is better to leave such special CDs to other projects. > Also I think it is helpful that user can authorise themself on a > schoolcomputer (MAC-ID) against LDAP to connect to there home > directory. But a standalone mode is a must. Yes, perhaps two more images, one workstation and one main-server+thin-client-server profile, make sense. The latter could come with the diskless workstation setup enabled. > Also running live CDs with network boot is possible. LowFatClient > also fast ones with much RAM.(Option:toram) :-) Not sure if this make sense, as we already provide it using PXE booting from a thin-client-server. > But a good live CDs is much extra work I think. Yes. Especially since we have to figure out which packages to drop. On the other hand, I suspect we can save quite a lot of space by dropping translations. Not sure we want that, thougth. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
