Hi :)

i've always builded ISO with the no-recommends options but i made that
because i often mix applications from various desktop environment, so
i didn't want to have all the GNOME DE while installing file-roller
for instance.
but in other hand, if we choose independant applications, we don't
need to take care about the no-recommends option ;)

so, the best way to join our way or build, is to make the best choice
with the applications.
for instance, lxappearance is perfect for theming, but fluxbox can do
it itself ;)
tint2 is a good panel, but fluxbox has its own...
if we can cutomize the fluxbox default menu, most of regular actions
could be provide by dynamic menu entries :)
