Hi,

As mentioned in the LinuxTag mail thread earlier, I've started
preparing a FG live cd.
Great!! I'm very glad you're doing this!

Things that I need input from people:
- what window manager/environment should we use/should be the
default?
This is asking for a flame war, but we'll see. I can only tell you that
I'm currently using GNOME2 with metacity as window manager. I can't say
anything about KDE, except that it was using up pretty much RAM the last
time I checked - which must have been about four years ago ;-) If it's
still that way, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to use it on a
FlightGear live CD.
Anyway, as Martin already said, the focus should be on FlightGear.
Therefore the window manager probably doesn't need to be anything fancy.
Given the target audience of a live CD fvwm95 or s.th. like that might
be suitable, as long as users can easily start FlightGear and whatever
auxiliary applications (Atlas, TerraSync, etc.).
- what aircrafts should we include?
I vote for the C172P as standard model, Piper Cub, Citation Bravo and
the B1900D as minimum. This clearly doesn't exclude any others, but I
think these are probably the best from the small and business jet
fraction we currently have. Can't tell anything about the military or
larger jets.
- atlas?
I'd say yes. If you put Atlas on there, a set of pre-generated maps for
the included scenery could be a good idea.
Hopefully sometime this week or next week I would have something for
people to test with.
I'll try to test it as soon as it is available. Perhaps I'll have the
possibility to test it on some non-development machines and with
"simple" users ;-)
Cheers,
Ralf
