Re: Call for help - Fosdem booth

[Nicolas SANCHEZ]

Hello,

I've just tried the GNUstep Live CD. Everything seems to work.

But I think Gorm and PC are important (they are not in the CD), because, 
in a first step, we had to show the facilities to developpers.

When we start a term, we can't use openapp because the 
...Makefiles/GNUstep.sh hasn't been executed.

I also think that some programs, games... not from GNUstep could be 
removed from the CD in order to reduce the size of it (> 200MB). I'm not 
sure but we can probably obtain a size under 100MB.
