A while back we did a short survey on whats the most popular things that people download as updates from the centos machines and the result basically boiled down to, it would be good to have :
C6-liveDVD as a desktop environ
C6-liveCD as a trimmed down desktop, focus on system tools, trim docs
and other excess stuff ( I guess, use the c5 livecd script for hints)
- C6-RescueLiveCD with system tools [1]
And have one of those per arch
[1] primary aim for this was that it could be deployed via USB media and/or in a PXE environ, also this does not need a install-from-live-media functionality. Also there might be some scope for this RescueLiveCD to be done away from the distro as a part of the cranberry project ( projects.centos.org ). If we are going to bring in things that are not a part of the core distro - it would certainly need go down that route.
In terms of deliverable: it would be a kickstart and any notes needed to make the build happen. The actual build itself will happen inside the CentOS Buildsys ( and for the first time, in sync with the main distro build! )
A friend has always had a beef with CentOS live CD that it hadn't provided an option for "I like it, now do a real, full installation to the hard drive". I'm not clear as to if your comments covered such. Is this an envisioned use-case? If not, was this usage included in the survey? I could be talked into further research/implementation if this is on target.
Thanks,
