[manjaro-dev] Manjaro Netbook Edition

[Philip Müller]

Hi Rob,

since I have a netbook I'll install your edition to that machine and 
test it thru. I assume you use XFCE as desktop, so it is fine to use 
that. Thus only supports the desktop images and it has nothing to do 
with the tagging. I can modify manjaroiso to use a netbook tag but the 
images you shouldn't change. Will look into it when I find time. For 
now: nice work.
