By publishing (not releasing the ISOs any other way) would result in a bad
image for SUSE - "not user friendly".
So the best way would be not to release ISOs at all (exception: boot.iso),
but to publish a script which can build each ISO by fetching the files
from the inst-source tree.
I like the idea. I really do. It just somehow does not seem workable. Th e
reason is that many people (also on this list) do not have a high speed
connection at the place the instalation will be.
Also you would have a CD or DVD burner in the machine that does the
instalation.
No. You could download a more or less tailored subset of inst-source and
install from harddisk or over NFS/HTTP/FTP. Maybe a help of a script would
be good for this which allows some selections.
What I DO see is a script (mine adapted or a new one) that is on
http://opensuse.org/index.php/1_CD_install and does the needed downloads.
Yes.
I am afraid most people will still want to be able to have everything, no
matter if they use it or not. People are like that. They want to ahve,
meaning feel or see them, so they know it is theirs.
I guess the people who could feel rejected or neglected if there were no
direct ISO downloads simply want to fetch "something solid" directly, so
it is a matter of feeling.
Again, I like the idea. Just a bit afraid that ythe average person would
think it to be strange/difficult.
A single-ISO-distribution could help.
