Sure. We can adjust some packages. I personally think first person shooters tend to attract a lot more attention. If we can do you did with Quake 3 with other games which have open engines but restricted content, we should be to accommodate a bit more games that otherwise can't be included.

I can see some reasons why but I would like to hear your thoughts on that. One reason why I think we should do that is because it is useful to demo some of the nice games in Linux. As far as licensing is concerned, IMO gaming content restrictions can be a bit more than gaming engines due to the artistic values in the former though I definitely prefer less restrictions. In most conferences these days, they have bandwidth that pulling in game content just before the demo is not a problem and doing such a demo for a upcoming local FOSS conference is of one my main motivations behind working on this. Btw, I haven't include the regular GNOME games packages in the kickstart file. Do we want to do that?

So which way will it be then, with or without autodownloader games?
