Fluxbox can still look great though and should be reasonably intuitive even for those who have only ever used recent versions of Windows. > - version of FG (for now i'm just using cvs) Probably 0.9.10? > - fgrun or kfreeflight? You could possibly save yourself some space if you weren't including the KDE libs for any other reason - I don't use either so don't really have much of an opinion. One deciding factor might be the ease of configuring MP - I tested the last 0.9.10 windows prerelease on someone else's box the other day and was very impressed at how easy it was to get online. > - what sceneries should we include? Perhaps you could even produce one or two different "regionalised" disks with say, US/Canada, UK/Europe etc? Obviously would depend on exactly how much space you have available in the end. > - what aircrafts should we include? Again, space will be something of a factor, but if possible a pair of each major "type" of aircraft would be nice. I.e. two jet airliners, two "light" aircraft, two military jets etc. Whatever else, be sure to include at least the seahawk for Carrier flights! > - terrasync? Might be "nice" indeed, but I wouldn't consider it a priority myself. Were you considering an option to use a USB memory stick for storing extras like downloaded scenery / settings? It would definitely make sense then. > - festival? which voice pack? Should be optional IMO, since a lot of PCs are already going to be struggling to get reasonable fps already. But it's certainly a nice feature if you have the resources available... > - atlas? I suppose it wouldn't hurt too much to include it, although it can have a pretty bad effect on fps on lesser PCs. Your MP map is a great substitute for some of Atlas' functions anyway... > - fg_server? Definitely not IMO. > - source code/a cvs checkout for convenience? I would think the space would be much better used on more aircraft / scenery? > - the windows binary/setup as well? A better idea, but again, I'm not sure it'd be worth the space cost? The liveCD is a great idea (I was actually about to investigate doing the same thing myself when you announced you were starting :-) I look forward to helping test it.
