Yes, this is where i think we need to think which "end users" are we aiming against? The same users that "ubuntu" aims against? the ones that comes from windows or used Linux just a small time? Or the more experience ones, that's been around Linux for awhile... Anyway, still thinks these packages that comes with FL should be considered to be "bloated" for end users. *awn*, as I dont think no one really uses it today. Some might try it, then that's it. People today don't use "bling "bling" stuff as they used too. As they also see that they don't actually do any good except it looks nice. *Gnome-pilot*, hard to buy any palm os today, if you got one, you should probably want to install the package instead. I've seen 2 users with it in the past 3 years. Myself and one more :) *Liferea*, many users today uses something on the internet instead. Like google reader. So they got it all the time even if they change dist. Then we can talk about changing firefox to chromium. That will make us to get rid of xulrunner? thats approx 65 MB. (probably wont happen, but want to point out the size) *emerald*, is it someone really uses that today? maybe can also be something that can be installed by "end users" Also we got: http://issues.foresightlinux.org/browse/FL-2489 There is probably more "hidden" packages in FL that can be gone in default. Don't know about the issue: http://issues.foresightlinux.org/browse/FL-2355 might be still needs to be looked at, and there might be more ones that pops in that we don't want in as default. // Tomas Forsman -- Foresight Linux Developer http://www.foresightlinux.org Foresight Linux - SE http://www.foresightlinux.se Tomas Forsman - Blog http://www.foresightlinux.se/blog/ _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list Foresight-devel@lists.rpath.org http://lists.rpath.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
