### wheezy iso size

by meandean » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:06 pm

Just wanted to report that I built a iso with the following script and it came out around 450mb

Well: yeah, the probem to post code sure is annoying.
Reading through your package selection i think i like it.
Say it always bugs me to have to install htop on live-CD's. vim is missing, though...
I for one don't bother with --no-install-recommends. I don't see the point in it.
For a live-CD it might be good, in case one wants to use it as a base for a customized version, but else ?
That might be me, and mainly lazyness.
Got to make a new installation in VirtualBox these days, and will test your package list. I usually see what i miss when i use it (but else i would use a lot of the packages mentioned, and its nice to have them in a list).
I don't think i understand the rest of what you do in the script, and why. Well: the rest i do, but not the sed-lines....
k, thats it.
So i herd u liek mudkip?

I just grabbed what looked obvious from the old package list.

You always install recommends? I think some of the recommended packages are absolutely crazy and leads to loads of bloat.

> I don't think i understand the rest of what you do in the script, and why. Well: the rest i do, but not the sed-lines....

I just reused the script I use to build images.
I just posted it because in irc fsmithred had talked about the iso size, talked about replacing abiword with libreoffice, and so forth. I mentioned I was going to try later to build a refracta-ish iso to see the size and report back. I was just reporting back....
But the sed lines just uncomment a couple lines in adduser.conf, nothing amazing or anything.
