well regarding this issue:- https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1568 why dont we install the additional templates from the internet after the installation of Qubes OS ? e.g:- "Qubes os iso has only the essential things to install Qubes. now when the installation finish/complete we show a screen asking the user would he like to install:- - fedora (which is going to be the full version) - debian - whonix - xxx if so please connect your device to the internet if its not already connected." and by this we dont need to put the distros inside the iso image, instead it will be downloaded over the internet after the installation of Qubes finish. and to this method has advantages:- - iso dvd going to fit Qubes OS no matters how many distros it supports - from security point view we gonna let Qubes to be installed first even without the need to the internet connection (which is safer) , then after everything finished we show the last page asking to install the flavored OS - any security bug affecting any additional distro will not be a problem because he will install the latest updated distro through the internet. whereas this is a problematic with the iso image and i think everyone know this critical security bug:- * https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2016/12/19/qsb-28 * https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2520 - size of Qubes OS much lighter to download what do u think ? > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > [Please don't top-post.] > > On 2017-03-19 07:23, > [email protected]> wrote: >> it will be the same as u r suggestion to the user to install debian and >> whonix, it should be suggested to him as well fedora full version. >> >> so by that the default situation is:- >> >> - Dom0 >> - fedora-minimal with only essential things installed to run Qubes OS >> - sys-net >> - sys-firewall >> >> additional installation OS:- >> >> - fedora >> - debian >> - whonix >> > > The main reason we don't include all the TemplatVMs in the installer is > because then the installer would be too big to fit on a single-layer DVD: > > https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1568 > >>> On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 5:43 AM, <> >>> [email protected]>>> > > >>> wrote: >>>> hi there, >>>> >>>> i was wondering why fedora-minimal is not the default template for Qubes >>>> instead of fedora all apps installed (full version) ??? >>>> >>>> using minimal over full has advantages:- >>>> >>>> ... >>> >>> An operating system should be useful by default.
