Hi,
I was just wondering why Slitaz shall fit into a zipped 35 MB if this cause many troubles when we face so different hardware.
I just tried , to install a frugal Slitaz on the laptop of a friend and I was just upset to justify that if something doesn't work ( = out of the box) it's just because firm's are naughty capitalist, no open-source code, Slitaz is very small .. and bla bla bla .. and so on ..
How can we convince someone to drop WinXP (or even Win7) if she cannot see the point to manage with something which "doesn't work" (her words). It has to never fail, often I feel the "Bill Win98 blue screen experience"
My idea is to following Microsoft philosophy : the most compatible Slitaz ISO whatever the size. I prefer to bring a CD with 235 MB with some sexy stuff (firefox, flash,skype..) rather than trying a cool-nerd but hypothetical Web-Boot on a unknown wifi network with no drivers.
So, It could be very interesting to have an ISO with full but with a clever option to strip-out all the unecessary modules,firmwares,softwares once we want to produce a personnal rootfs.gz (or iso) for a frugal install (backstep : from the most to the least)
it isn't a good idea ?
