I thought I read the interesting thread, and thought it was a better idea . I downloaded squeeze beta 1 about a month ago. At that point in time, the documentation about the DVD read something similar to this :- 1. It includes standard Debian CD installation + languages (it was not specifically written like that but atleast I perceived it to be like that, the word usage I don't remember). and I was sorta disappointed to download the whole DVD as I didn't want the other languages but more utilities (like network-manager, wvdial and most networking and troubleshooting tools) Now from this discussion I am curious to know what metapackages are inside say the beta2-DVD1 ?

Josselin Mouette wrote: Where can that list be found? It looks correct, but different from the one in tasksel. That is the Key packages from the gnome-desktop and desktop tasks in tasksel. So one of the solutions would be to ditch Recommends. I was wrong about recommends being included currently. Full GNOME is already not included, since that would be the “gnome” package, not “gnome-desktop-environment”. Well, that is included in the task as a non-key package, so is downloaded if possible. (And should be included on the DVD, assuming all of gnome fits on a DVD :) If you really want to make it fit on a CD, we could use the following list instead of the one above: gnome-core dmz-cursor-theme epiphany-browser (or iceweasel, but epiphany should be smaller) gdm3 desktop-base evince file-roller gnome-about gnome-keyring gnome-screensaver gnome-themes gnome-user-guide gtk2-engines gvfs-backends libgnome2-perl (unless someone finally fixes #542175) policykit-1-gnome gnome-disk-utility And if possible: gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good totem evolution I can make a metapackage out of this list if it can help. We should probably do that. That's enough of gnome not to be laughable? (network-manager-gnome seems to not be included in that, but then it's recommended by the gnome-metapackage so would not be included from the current gnome-desktop-enviromnent using task either, if installing w/o a network, I think..) Rough size numbers (probably 20 mb or more off in some direction): i386amd64 available space on CD #1 for gnome 372 mb 392 mb - gnome-desktop-environment with recommends 543 mb 584 mb gnome-desktop-environment no recommends366 mb 394 mb list 1+2 with recommends 411 mb 436 mb list 1+2 no recommends 257 mb 279 mb list 1 with recommends 307 mb 332 mb list 1 no recommends 214 mb 236 mb -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

We could remove the mail client (evolution) if it turns out too big, nowadays the media player looks more important. I'm testing 1+2 in tasksel 2.87 and we can move the list back into a metapackage if it works. (Uploaded; hopefully the next build of the CD will have the change.) How should I name the new metapackage? My first thought is just to move these packages from gnome-desktop-environment to gnome-core, and to make gnome-core the key package. Sounds ok to me. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
