> You can check out current contents here:
>
> http://tmb.mine.nu/Mageia/2/Mageia-2-rc-LiveCDs/
>
> Files are:
> *.langs      - Supported languages on the CD
> *.lst        - installed package list, sorted alphabetically
> *.lst.full   - installed packages list, sorted by size
>
>
> Now, remember that the livecds are squashfs compressed images,
> so in order to drop ~20M on a cd, I need to drop ~30M-100M of
> rpms depending on content...
>
> Also if you find something missing that relly _must_ be on the
> cds (not just nice to have)... please comment on that too
