Whiteboard
The desktop team would like to reduce the number of supported iso for the desktop client to 1:
- drop the CD size limitation
- ship an "usb" image with a limit of 800MB
- drop the DVD image
- drop the alternate image if possible (depend of the work of https:/
- merging amd64+mac into amd64 is out of scope for this
The 800MB target is taken from https:/
Release Notes:
In 12.10, the CD and DVD Ubuntu Desktop images are being consolidated into a single 800MB image usable on a USB disk or a DVD.
