Whiteboard changed:
  [kanliot] this is an actual problem, not a wishlist.  if we installed a
  .desktop shortcut to alsamixer.  noobs would be able to find it.   I
  just encountered such a person on the forum.

  i know this is impossible, but i'd love to be able to install lubuntu on xfs.  I don't think you can, right now (it's missing from the liveCD)
  [leszek] (You can if you install xfs-tools from inside the live system before starting the installer)
  [cjwatson] This is a straightforward seed bug and easy to fix; probably the live seed ought to inherit from live-common, but failing that, include the necessary packages by hand.
  [gilir] thanks cjwatson, I added a task to look at this during q cycle

  As xxxterm is less resource hungry than Chromium & is already in Universe, what are the thoughts to switch to this as 'default', or even include it as an option if disk space on the install CD's allows?
  [gilir]
  Ressources is not the only factor to compare. We need also to compare the features and the speed between the browser. Also, a browser need a strong upstream support, for example to fix security issues.
  [leszek]
  xxxterm is a nice lightweight browser but it misses some comfort (i.e. Bookmarking support & Extensions). So I agree with Julien here.
+ [phillw]
+ If Chromium is not, as Julien has mentioned, currently getting regular builds; we may 
+ have to think of other options. I'm quite happy to have just have it mentioned on the 
+ minimal install page as a low resource browser (with less bloat, comes less functions).

  If we're going to add catfish to the seed, what happened to lxfind? I seem to recall that being relatively stable when I last used it...
  [gilir]
  I updated the task to reflect the choice between catfish and lxfind

  Under 'Work Items' it says: Investigate new image viewer (Viewnior?)
  I suggest also considering Eye of Gnome.
  Gpicview, the present image viewer, is buggy and does not seem to be in much development. There are several better (and light) alternatives.
  [gilir]
  eog depends on GNOME components, I don't think we need them to find a good alternative. Anyway, that could be part of the discussion for the image viewer
