As everybody can see from the afore mentioned discussion as well as by the answers to this announcement it is not possible to cater to each and everybody's needs & wishes. The solution for everybody (makers and users) would be a "Joe User-friendly" way to roll your own, ideal would be a GUI but CLI is also possible. Maybe a script which - lists all packages including dependencies (as the individual packages selection does) so you can pack a customized live CD - including the system related stuff with hardware recognition and drivers (as a normal live cd) - including the "installer from live system to harddisk" - at the end of the package selection hands out the size of the ISO And at the end it wraps up everything resulting in a customized Mageia live cd. This way Mageia would only have to distribute even less ISOs than currently planned (saving QA time) and everybody can roll his/her own flavor, depending on the purpose (showing and hand-out at events, in your environment, for special projects, etc.) I know that there is a way to do this already but I'm talking about a userfriendly "interactive tool" for the not so experienced. Looking at the work&time Mageia could save in future it may be a reasonable suggestion. -- wobo
