I have a question: does anybody use LilyDev as live os (i.e. without
installing)? Or most of you installs the system in a virtual machine?
I'm asking this because I'd prefer not downloading the git repositories
during the build of ISO images, in order to reduce the size and the build
time of the ISO (for my updates and tests).

So I'd rather put a script to download the repository when the user logs in
for the first time.
What do you think?

The problem is that lilypond-git takes a lot to download.
