[arch-releng] [RFC] Inclusion of irc client on the install CD
Hi, A user just broke her system pretty badly and we agreed that she'll boot a live cd, install irssi and we'd help her fix it. Sadly, installing irssi didn't really work out. I think it would be a good idea to include irssi or weechat (whichever needs less space) on the CD so we can support beginners more easily. I guess it's especially hard (for beginners) to install irssi now because they'll be pretty stressed when their system is broken and the recent perl rebuild probably makes it even worse. -- Florian Pritz

No problem for me (irssi). Current dual-iso size is 698MiB (""limit"" is 703MiB). -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

"didn't really work out" ??? on live system, type: pacman -S irssi

if installing a package is too hard for them, they are not Arch material. especially if it makes them stressed
and the recent perl rebuild probably makes it even worse.
say what? Dieter
