Hi !
I see two ideas
First one has already been exposed: make the iso as large as needed uncluding Firefox and others, people will copy/burn it on usb stick or DVD
Second one : why not make also a livecd with Xfce as desktop environnement?
cheers

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,
