Ross,
Correct me if I am wrong. Arent there during installation certain things
which get downloaded from the repos but the downloads are masked from
the end user?

If that was possible, then we could add a new metapackage to our
ubuntustudio seeds that could be optionally installed, and then
switch
the seeds to that metapackage once we are happy.
Probably some of us are just hard of thinking :) That would increase
the
ISO size by the size of the plasma meta, though the resulting ISO
would
probably still fit on a DVD (if those are still a thing). DL time
would
go up yet a again. It would, at this point, be a next cycle thing of
course. We would need at least an optional -plasma-desktop package,
but
more realistically we would need to split -default-settings into
-default-setting and -xfce-desktop (replace "desktop" with "settings"
if
needed).
I guess it is possible for the plasma part to be dl and install during
ISO install rather than included on the ISO. So there might be a
default
DE on the ISO, but at install time a different DE could be selected. I
do not know how to do that, but the installer already DL and installes
non-free packages so there must be a way.
I think we could add to our ubuntustudio-live ubiquity plugin to add
the
plasma meta as an option at install time. We already use that to
select/deselect which metas & packages to install.
