Bug#1006122: Provide a live image with enlightenment for a smaller image

[Pirate Praveen]

Package: debian-cd
Severity: wishlist

Currently all images except the standard image is >= 3.0 GB. I think
providing a smaller graphical image with enlightenment (or icewm or
wmaker or even all three together) to provide a graphical smaller disk
image would be nice. It can be useful for smaller pen drives and people
just wanting to test live images with more features than standard image
(check video driver, wifi driver, sound and other hardware before
installing).

Just a heads-up: you may want to close this/reassign to debian-live.
Debian-cd don't have anything to do with the live builds except to
test them occasionally.

I doubt that the images will get smaller - they effectively include a
live filesystem to copy into RAM in order to run so they need to be
that big. Adding another desktop or three will require another dedicated
image and there's nobody much maintaining live images at all at the moment,
unfortunately.

All the very best, as ever,
