Hi,
While working on the next 7.1511 Live media, I discovered that the size for the actual CentOS 7 LiveCD would be more than 700MB.
It's due to some packages being now bigger and bigger, also due to the big Gnome 3.8 -> 3.14 rebase. One obvious package I can remove from the packages manifest (which itself is consuming more and more space) is Firefox.
If I remove it from the packages manifest (only for LiveCD, it will obviously stay for the LiveGnome and LiveKDE DVD iso images), it's then back to 650 MB, so that would mean that one would still be able to burn it on a CD.
But the real question is then : does that even make sense ? for each release, we're now fighting with disk space constraints, and I'm each time removing packages from that LiveCD image. If we remove Firefox itself, that would mean that such LiveCD would be useful just for people willing to "test" CentOS on their hardware, but that would be a basic Gnome desktop.
It builds/runs fine, can be installed too (like before), but I'd like your opinion about this.
Cheers,

I'd say make it as big as needed, stop claiming compatibility with old CDs (even 700 MB which is anyway the most used format for CD-R) BUT make sure it can boot from an USB stick. Nowadays people rarely use CDs, USB sticks are by far more popular.

Fabian,
I think the browser is the one component you must not remove from the Live "CD". I agree with Manuel, just take as much space as is needed to do a reasonable job and make sure dd-ing to USB stick works. Don't publish handicaped ISOs. :)
Most people's machines nowadays hardly even have a DVD reader, let alone a CD one; e.g the last laptop I bought (2 years ago) came without such optical unit.

Idem.
I've seen and worked in places where pendrives (or any removable media) are forbidden, due to some policy on their datacenters.
Personally I prefer DVD iso, but let's take in count that CentOS is a nice and solid alternative for production servers, it is very used on small companies that run commodity hardware (at least in my country happens), and CDs are still a media option.

I am with you on this one... but do these really need to boot in a Gnome environment from a live image which is barely more than a minimal desktop and has no browser ? As one of the regulars who provide help in #centos I am pretty sure we'd see frustrated users who do not read the docs/release notes and would lose their and our time with questions related to "where is the browser?"
and CDs are still a media option.
Once again: for a live image which would be barely more than a minimal Gnome desktop , without a browser ? Remember that for installation purposes there are at least two SMALLER alternatives, the minimal and the network isos.

I am expecting that DVD and liveUSB are probably the places to look at now. If there needs to be a livecdrom is should just be the bare minimals needed for command line work. Most of the hardware which is cdrom only is going to struggle with current desktop features so it probably isn't worth the continued effort.

Hello Fabian I have used a couple of times the Live CD to introduce CentOS to new users which allows them test how it feels. Removing Firefox would be a big loss and do those "demos" would be impossible, well, in those cases probably we'd have to go to a DVD or USB image. But I see your point of view coming from a Developers background and it's probably where the CD is still mostly in use
I hope it helps

Is there a decent browser you could include instead of Firefox that is enough smaller to get below 700 MB? possibly Vivaldi ?

Well, all those browsers aren't in CentOS 7 , and we're talking about what is (was ?) the LiveCD. Majority of users seems to think (and I share that feeling too, also reason why I wanted to discuss that here) that we should start considering dropping that LiveCD , and just focus on LiveDVD (LiveGnome, LiveKDE).
Once we have maintainers showing up for alternate desktop environments (and so built through koji/cbs.centos.org), we can revisit the LiveCD thing, as a respin :-)

Hi John,
Yes, that sounds like a good plan, but that would mean additional respins (like they do in Fedora). Problem would be that such packages aren't in CentOS 7 Base , so not sure that we want to build a live media with packages not built by CentOS, and importing the whole xfce/mate/$whatever into Koji/cbs.centos.org isn't foreseen right now :-)
OTOH, building those live media images is trivial, so if something wants to do that on their own , they can :-)
- From all the opinions so far (and that's mine too), I'd say : - - let's drop CentOS 7 LiveCD (as Fedora did a long time ago, for the same reason I guess) - - continue only to provide LiveGnome/LiveKDE as before
