Hi,
I wish the following packages were included on the Live CD: htop Not necessary, but as you pointed out, also quite small. Neutral here.
iotop Sadly, as mentioned below, python adds>100MB to the environment (uncompressed), which we cannot afford. Older Python 2. If it was Python3, the story would change slightly... The current core-dual image is 673MB, and we'd like to keep that below 700MB for compatibility with CDs.
Although, we could make the point that 1) You can burn the image onto a DVD, which is not much more expensive than a CD nowadays. 2) Most people will put it on USB anyway.
So the 700MB limit could possibly be dropped - what is everyone's opinion on that? Sooner or later, this limit will become obsolete. Anyway we are talking about core-*dual*.iso
We are on 64 bit age, at least here in Buenos Aires is not easy to find a "pure CD" new drive! All units are or DVD or BD. And although it seems ridiculous, get a CD unit is more expensive than a DVDunit. (Like with older memories). Personally I do not use CDs in years!, DVDs rarely, all things goes in pendrives, memory cards or usb disks.
gptfdisk Someone posted on this list that he is working on GPT support in AIF. This would require a decent gpt partition manager. Even without AIF support, this might be useful for people to set GPT up manually.
GPT disk can be done using parted that is already on releng images. Or something is missing?
In general, I'd give this a big +1, but I don't know the tools, so I have no idea if gptfdisk is the best choice.
nethack Although small, this seems superfluous.
