Vegastrike Live

[Nicu Buculei]

I have not played Vegastrike ever, so I have no idea about how good is 
the game (and frankly, space sims are not my favorite genre, so I don't 
have any plans to learn), but reading the thread about its data package 
file size this idea seems natural to me: how about a special Fedora spin 
for the game?

While it does not solve the initial problem about space on mirrors and 
bandwidth usage, it seems a cool idea to me to have a bootable USB pen 
drive (with live persistence for savegames!!!) with a minimal Fedora and 
the complete game. It may be targeted at 1 GB drives (including the 
space for live persistence), to keep the costs low.

Thinking more about it, maybe even drop any desktop, start the game 
directly and shut down on exit. Simple as this: put the drive in, start 
the computer and play (pimp Fedora only during the startup, while RHGB 
is doing its job).

This may work also for other such large games and it may be a good 
showcase of our technology.
