I would like us to introduce a new netinstall type of ISO, small enough to fit on a CD, and useful when you don't want to install the whole suite of packages that come with Ubuntu Studio.
A "netinstall" ISO is in the form of the old style ALT iso. Is this what you mean? This is an install only media except for shell access. The old alt installs were the netiso with a package repo on disk and an install script to install them. Not much good for testing.
I'm thinking a stripped down version of our current ISO. Keep the core stuff, like jack, so the installer can be used for simple testing too, but otherwise nothing. We will need a super light DE setup for this. I do prefer to have a DE, with a web browser and easy graphical means of setting up wifi, and such. Also, with the ubiquity installer. As little maintenance as possible should be the goal of course.
Ah, So this is really a very lite live iso. It needs a WM and a menu to work. But could still do the install an alt style so that the the packages on the ISO itself would not be what got installed. I do not know how well ubiquity would deal with this. But ubuntustudio-installer with the expansions you have envisioned might do well... except that would require (ubiquity too) a number of gui libs to be installed. I would almost suggest against any of the DEs that we support so that the user would be aware from the start that this look and feel of this ISO are not representative of any of the installed flavours.
It would be good to define the exact use cases for this ISO. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
