[gobolinux-users] The idea of "base" and "full" iso downolad

[molfar]

Dear Gobo devs!

For what I can see now - there is only one type of Gobo iso we can download
- a complete solution with many packages (about 700 MB).
What do you think about the idea of having two different images available
for download - "full" (like the one now) and "base" (or "core", "mini")
containing only the tools of utmost necessity to run the system - with the
size of such iso greatly reduced. I've seen this in Arch Linux and this
solution seems to be pretty convenient for many different reasons.
Besides, from what I know it may somehow improve the speed and effectiveness
of overall distro development and relevant bugfixing.

What do you think?

P.S. Yes, I know there is an option to install a "base" from current livecd,
however it is quite unreasonable to download 700 MB in order to install ~150
MB of it.
