  22       <div class="date"> 7th November 2010</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>Prioritising packages for the Debian Edu /
  24 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a> DVD, which is
  25 supposed provide a school with all the services and user applications
  26 needed on the pupils computer network has always been hard.  Even
  27 schools without Internet connections should be able to get Debian Edu
  28 working using this DVD.</p>
  29
  30 <p>The job became a lot harder when apt and aptitude started
  31 installing recommended packages by default.  We want the same set of
  32 packages to be installed when using the DVD and the netinst CD, and
  33 that means all recommended packages need to be on the DVD.  I created
  34 a patch for debian-cd in <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/601203">BTS
  35 report #601203</a> to do this, and since this change was applied to
  36 the Debian Edu DVD build, we have been seriously short on space.</p>
  37
  38 <p>A few days ago we decided to drop blender, wxmaxima and kicad from
  39 the default installation to save space on the DVD, believing that
  40 those needing these applications are few and can get them from the
  41 Debian archive.</p>
  42
  43 <p>Yesterday, I had a look what source packages to see which packages
  44 were using most space.  A few large packages are well know;
  45 openoffice.org, openclipart and fluid-soundfont.  But I also
  46 discovered that lilypond used 106 MiB and fglrx-driver used 53 MiB.
  47 The lilypond package is pulled in as a dependency for rosegarden, and
  48 when looking a bit closer I discovered that 99 MiB of the 106 MiB were
  49 the documentation package, which is recommended by the binary package.
  50 I decided to drop this documentation package from our DVD, as most of
  51 our users will use the GUI front-ends and do not need the lilypond
  52 documentation.  Similarly, I dropped the non-free fglrx-driver package
  53 which might be installed by d-i when its hardware is detected, as the
  54 free X driver should work.</p>
  55
  56 <p>With this change, we finally got space for the LXDE and Gnome
  57 desktop packages as well as the language specific packages making the
  58 DVD more useful again.</p>
