Re: Games livecd / dvd

I still think we should have a CD and a DVD.   Absolutely
everything on
the DVD, best foot forward, top priority.

Then offer a CD, with a much smaller collection.  At least
one
3d-intenstive game to let users test hardware at the store,
in case
there's no DVD drive.  Definitely second priority, but still
important,
IMHO.

I personally think a CD distro is pointless, but yes, lets
start with
a DVD concept first.

How much space do all packaged games and all their
dependencies in
devel currently require?
