[scottl@freebsd.org: 5.2-BETA disc1 is overflowing]

[Murray Stokely]

The disc1 package set currently tries to include Mozilla in addition
to the gnome-specific version of Mozilla.  This is a big duplication
of precious disk space.  Can the port be modified (possibly only or
release package builds) to be leaner and more conservative with what
it includes?  We really want to continue to include both KDE and GNOME
on disc1 but that is hard to do.

All,

This is the result of putting the print-cdrom.sh packages on x86 disc1:

-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  779845632 Nov 25 17:27 5.2-BETA-i386-miniinst.iso

(ignore the miniinst name for the moment)

This is seriously overfilled, and we need to take some drastic action to
cut it.  Options:

1.  Remove GNOME or KDE.  KDE looks to be much bigger, likely because of
koffice.
2.  Figure out some way to trim down the dependency list for GNOME and
KDE.  One thing that I noticed was that GNOME included it's own version of
mozilla, in addition to the normal mozilla!
3.  Massively cut down other ports.
4.  Give up and not do disc1 packages anymore.

Suggestions?

Scott
