are there any plans to partition FC into smaller parts to keep a base
distro from getting any bigger? i was a little nonplussed to notice that
the current release doesn't fit on 3 CDs, since it overflows just a bit
onto a 4th CD.
i know this topic has come up before, but i don't know what became of
the discussion. since the install procedure specifically asks whether the
user has extra CDs late in the process, it seems this would be the perfect
place to create that extra CD of non-essential stuff.
as a suggestion, that extra CD could contain stuff like games and
multimedia stuff, collectively grouped under, say, "recreation" or
"entertainment".
thoughts? obviously, you wouldn't want to do this kind of partitioning
for every logical grouping of software, but it sure seems like you could
identify a few hundred megabytes of what's considered non-essential, kind
of frivolous stuff that fits in the category of "fun stuff".
