Re: [seul-edu] Freeduc CD release .. compatibility with ISO?

[Hilaire Fernandes <hilaire@ext.cri74.org>]

Yes, the philosophy of the Seul-Edu ISO and Freeduc-CD project are a bit
different.

The first one wants to bring a complete repository of software of
interest for the education while the second one wants to bring a small
set of software in a runnable environment.  

Indeed they seem complementary, the Freeduc-CD may benefice from
selected software of the Seul-Edu ISO. One can see it as a snaphsot
of the Seul-Edu ISO. In the other hand, Seul-Edu ISO may benefice from
users attracted in the first place by the Freeduc-CD.

Concerning the package, I have only build one .deb package (drgenius)
and I am not sure I can do more, I prefer to grab pacakge around.
