Ok, thanks again for the prompt answer, I will test installing on a different
partition. By the way, does 3.5 keeps three separate partitions for boot,
system and home? If it is so, I think that unifying boot and system -as most
distributions- would make solving booting issues easier -answers to similar
problems in other distributions would also work for Trisquel-.
As for the discussion about swfdec, as far as youtube is concerned, I wonder
whether it is a problem of sfwdec or it has rather something to do with
youtube configuration of their web pages. I have observed that some videos
which sfwdec does not reproduce when watched on youtube they do reproduce
when they are embedded on a different webpage -e.g. a blog or other-, would
gnash solve that problem? In this respect, I have been unable to replace
sfwdec with Gnash in my current installation to test which one works better
and in which web pages, so perhaps 3.5 should provide some straight way to
allow swapping from the one to the other.
As for space on the CD, I believe that as far as it is possible to install a
program through synaptic it should not be a problem to any basic user if that
program is not included by default. Perhaps it is better not to waste space
on the CD including a substitute for Gimp, since Gimp is a very well known
program and it could be installed later through synaptic -in any case, it is
likely that most people will go for a fuller program, so they will end up
installing Gimp-. More on disk space: have you considered issuing both a CD
with a more basic set of programs and a fuller DVD? As far as it is clearly
stated which are the main differences in content I think it should be fine.
A further question concerning packages, will VLC be included in the
repositories? You mention that this program would be easily installable to
advanced users, but not all of us are advanced users. I do not know if it
could work better on some video formats -although large VRO files reproduce
well on Totem you can hardly jump from one point to other of the film (it is
very slow)-. Again, as far as it is available through synaptic it should not
be a problem to install later and test.
Again, thanks a lot for your work.
