[ros-dev] Meeting on Thursday

[Adam]

Looks like an interesting project. Another advantage I see is that we can
potentially rid ourselves of the text-based setup and have a GUI based
setup and thus make the install potentially quicker.

I would definitely put a vote in for this one.

As for the larger ISO - the Linux ISOs I notice tend to be much larger  
anyway at the moment. I would be more worried if it exceeds 180MB or so. :)
