NEVER... have an all-in-one solution for every possible usage that can be thought of as a stand alone live image. The repository is huge and will continue to grow. A Spin image is at best a starting point meant to address a narrow usage case. If you really need to do a lot with the operating system, then you will end up needing to install the operating system and install more software. Education as a topic can be made as broad as the full extent of our software catalog without much trouble. > We had such a discussion in one of the education SIG meetings... somebody > predicted teachers asking their students to insert spin 17B for the current > lesson. Or perhaps we make generating single-purpose spins so easy, that individual teachers can produce exactly the Fedora Spin they need for their classroom, with exactly the software they want from a livecd. Spins are not and will not replace the need to do an installation to hard disk and install additional packages. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
