What packages are being planned to be dropped ? If you check the list of Depends: and Recommends: for task-xfce-desktop, they're considered for adding into the media in the order they're listed. At the moment we fill the Xfce amd64 CD to the point where gstreamer1.0-plugins-base won't fit, and then roll back. We're already missing obvious useful stuff after that, like libreoffice. Just getting the task-xfce-desktop set onto the media takes over 600MiB at the moment. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "...In the UNIX world, people tend to interpret `non-technical user' as meaning someone who's only ever written one device driver." -- Daniel Pead

There's a problem with tryint to add more things to the Xfce CD - it's already getting very full. Just checking the logs from today's weekly build, I can see that we're already close to dropping some of the dependencies from task-xfce-desktop. If you need extra packages, you'll have to either: (a) talk to the xfce team to tweak the package list; (b) add another source like a network mirror; or (c) use a bigger source medium -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "I used to be the first kid on the block wanting a cranial implant, now I want to be the first with a cranial firewall.
