  25       <div class="body"><p>Prioritising packages for the Debian Edu /
  26 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a> DVD, which is
  27 supposed provide a school with all the services and user applications
  28 needed on the pupils computer network has always been hard.  Even
  29 schools without Internet connections should be able to get Debian Edu
  30 working using this DVD.</p>
  31
  32 <p>The job became a lot harder when apt and aptitude started
  33 installing recommended packages by default.  We want the same set of
  34 packages to be installed when using the DVD and the netinst CD, and
  35 that means all recommended packages need to be on the DVD.  I created
  36 a patch for debian-cd in <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/601203">BTS
  37 report #601203</a> to do this, and since this change was applied to
  38 the Debian Edu DVD build, we have been seriously short on space.</p>
  39
  40 <p>A few days ago we decided to drop blender, wxmaxima and kicad from
  41 the default installation to save space on the DVD, believing that
  42 those needing these applications are few and can get them from the
  43 Debian archive.</p>
  44
  45 <p>Yesterday, I had a look what source packages to see which packages
  46 were using most space.  A few large packages are well know;
  47 openoffice.org, openclipart and fluid-soundfont.  But I also
  48 discovered that lilypond used 106 MiB and fglrx-driver used 53 MiB.
  49 The lilypond package is pulled in as a dependency for rosegarden, and
  50 when looking a bit closer I discovered that 99 MiB of the 106 MiB were
  51 the documentation package, which is recommended by the binary package.
  52 I decided to drop this documentation package from our DVD, as most of
  53 our users will use the GUI front-ends and do not need the lilypond
  54 documentation.  Similarly, I dropped the non-free fglrx-driver package
  55 which might be installed by d-i when its hardware is detected, as the
  56 free X driver should work.</p>
  57
  58 <p>With this change, we finally got space for the LXDE and Gnome
  59 desktop packages as well as the language specific packages making the
  60 DVD more useful again.</p>
