Hi Guys,
there were some great conversations and ideas that came from the Fosdem weekend, over the next few days I'll try and summarise as many as I can and get some conversations started around the ideas.
One thing that came up a few times, and Andreas mentioned as well, was that it might be a good idea to produce a single DVD iso, suitable for use on large dual layer DVD's as they are now starting to become more popular.
A combined DVD can be produced with a slight modification of the script http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CDtoDVDMedia (path for implantisomd5 has changed) so the script and the two single-layer images, along with some directions, would suffice to allow people to download the two DVD ISOs and create a dual-layer. (I successfully made the ISO with 6.2 - have not tested installing yet.)
Its fairly easy to do, however I would not be all that keen on exporting that via the regular mirrors. Therefore expanding the idea a bit :
- Should we consider doing CD isos as well as dual layer DVD ones ?
I'd advocate just continuing with the minimal install CD and installable LiveCD.
- Should we consider only having these two media formats available via
torrent ?
If the script approach is not satisfactory that would be workable.
