Re: [Speed-dreams-users] [Speed-dreams-devel] Idea for distribution.

[<ba...@ne...>]

Hi all,

the idea delivering packages works but we need a correct wording for it:

The package with all cars and track should call "full-installation".
So any people knows anything its included: installation, engine,  
tracks, cars etc..

The package with just two cars of any category and just one track of  
any category
should called "light-installation".
Names with "base" or "basic" let people know this is always required required.

To update the "light-installation" to a "full-installation" we should name the
third package as "light-to-full-addons". So people definetly knows: Ok, this
is not required by a full installation".

BTW: The demo, not the full version, of NFS Shift is 1.1 GB and the  
demo of Forza 3 Demo 1GB big.


Cheers
Eckhard.
