But that'd make grml-medium not much different than grml-small. I.e., there won't be must gain in the user base. Only that the users who use grml-small before are split further into two (smaller) groups. Adding X would roughly add about 60M of space. I remastered grml-small v0.4, added X, fluxbox, and emacs (can't remember if I added firefox), the whole iso went to about 110~120M. > Installing X on a harddisc system is pretty easy anyway, it > shouldn't be much more than 'apt-get install xserver-xorg grml-x'. Not for me. Installing and configuring X has always been troublesome to me, despite that I've been using Linux for nearly 10 years (E.g., I have to settle with vesa for my old ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] rev 1 card now. No other drivers works reliably). That's why it is very very important to me that a Linux-Live system supports X. thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
