I think both are being discussed somewhat. It'd be nice to do it
everywhere, so that the regular install does match somewhat the livecd
case, but as a fallback, just doing it on the livecd is less
contentious. I'd certainly like to see it on the livecd, and then I'd
also like to see us work toward having it on regular installs too, in a
way that will keep most parties happy.
I don't know if this is related to Avahi or not, but with the default
firewall rules I can't see my friend's printers shared via his Mac
system. As soon as I turn off the firewall, the printers show up in
the GNOME printing dialog. It would be nice if this just worked
correctly out-of-the-box and in the LiveCD case without needing to
fiddle with firewall rules.
