It looks like we may have a space problem for the CD. David Forbes has told
me that the packages themselves will fill the whole CD, looking at what I aim
to have on it, the CD just ain't big enough.
So the question is should I cut down what's on the CD?
1.5.1 build (currently 60MB without X, building X as we speak so I'm
expecting 100MB)
netbsd 1.5.x source code will probably be about 60-70 as well.
X source code is about 35 MB, without the xfree86 v4 (which is 40MB).
current build is probably about the same size, source code for current is
about closer to 100MB now (due to 2 toolchains in gnu, cvs, more archs in sys
etc)
pkgsrc code is 9MB
uncompressed copy of www.netbsd.org is 30 MB (that includes an old copy of
the netbsd guide)
netbsd guide (more recent) is about 3MB
bootloaders, probably a couple of meg.
Anyway to sumarize:
1.5.1 build 60MB
X build for above 40MB (unknown currently)
1.5.1 source 70MB
X 3.3.6 source 35MB
Bootloaders 2MB (probably less)
X 4.0.x source 40MB
current build 70MB (guestimate)
current source 100MB
Netbsd.org 30MB
netbsd guide 3MB
pkgsrc 9MB
Total 459MB
Leaving under 180MB for packages.
However chopping some stuff out, eg current, X4 source, we probably fill
about 249MB, leaving 350+ MB for packages.
Perhaps I should consider doing 2 CD's? one with packages on the other with
NetBSD on it? (and buy 1 get 2nd CD cheap?)
Any thoughts? What would people prefer?
Cheers,
Chris
