Note that I'm not suggesting this, just that we should remove planner *as well as* OpenOffice from the CD-sized ks, because it looks odd to have one but not the other. In case anyone's wondering, btw, the fact that planner winds up on the CD-sized desktop ISO is more or less a simple oversight. The 'master' fedora-live-desktop.ks adds libreoffice and planner to form a full 'office suite'; the fedora-livecd-desktop.ks , which takes fedora-live-desktop.ks and chops bits off until it's CD-sized, removes libreoffice, but doesn't remove planner. Probably, someone just edited fedora-livecd-desktop.ks to remove libreoffice, ran a spin, saw it was now under 700MB and said 'okay, we're done', without noticing that it'd probably make sense from a neatness perspective to also remove Planner. Removing Planner is really just for neatness and to stop reviewers saying 'why is Planner in there but not any other office app'. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
