I thought the *main* point of a live <anything>, was to make a runnable OS without doing any installation. I can't say that I like doing installs from them, they're such a dead slow thing to boot up, and run. And then they give you little to no installation options. You may as well just make a bootable command line environment disc, that just installs without asking you questions, it'd run faster and easier. That'd certainly be more useful for labs who'd like to just "insert and boot," to set up multiple systems, and don't want to sit at each terminal answering questions, or don't have something available to automate it over a network. I always prefer the old style install disc, where you get a basic graphical environment to set up your disc drives, then perhaps some options about your installation, then just let it install. I've tried package selection at install time, in the past, but it'd often bomb out, usually took ages, or it'd reselect things I'd deselected, that I didn't want or need, because I didn't know, and couldn't tell, that they were requirements. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
