Hello friends,

i´ve finished my first live-Mandrake-distro. The main language is german (like my own, so sorry for my poor englich...), but I will add an international profile in english soon.
It fits on a mini-CD (~200MB), Desktop is XFce (Mac-OS X-look), Kernel 2.4.25 (2.6 created many problems on my test-machines).
I see it as a mobile desktop. So it is not a system-rescue-disc.

Software-List:
-----------------

File-Management: - Xfe (very nice), MC
Office: - Abiword, Gnumeric, Gcalctool, XPdf (maybe change to GPdf), GXedit
Network: - Mozilla Firefox, Gaim, Balsa, gFTP, LinNeighborhood, RfbDrake)
Multimedia: - XMMS, GXine, Grip, Gnome-Toaster
Graphic: - Sodipodi, GThumb
Games: - Frozen Bubble (yeah!!), XPuyopuyo, Quadra, Supertux, Rick Dangerous
...and of course: the complete Mandrake Control Centre

First screenshots you can see here:
screenshots of MAX

This evening I want to add a little website and next days hopefully there is the Iso ready for download.

Oh, forgot something important (at least for me :cheesy: ): the name: MAX

And one question: I´m searching for a nice little WYSIWYG Html-Editor. I tried Ginf, but it hangs many times. So is there another useful one ?

Greetings from Germany,
Nico

Check out Quanta BE 2 http://quanta.sourceforge.net/

It does pure HTML and WYSIWYG

I have virtually no experience in HTML and its what I am using for my site. I started with Nvu but quickly switched to Quanta Bleeding Edge. I at one time even installed Linspire just to try Nvu. again quickly ran back to Mandrake

Yippeah, Nico found our board :juggle:

Welcome, looks very nice.
kernel 2.4.5 finally, so you couldn't solve the 2.6.x problems?

I forgot to email you that MAX is already the name of a Spanish Linux distribution:

Hmmm maybe I should use another name. But MAX was so cool... I'll see. :unsure:

Html-editors: Thanx for your answers, but I know all of them and they are much too big. My own first joyce would be Mozilla Composer or NVU, which is based on Mozilla. But as I said, much too big. Another thing is that Quanta is based on all the stupid KDE-libs and tools (...I like KDE, but not in my live-Distro. :twisted: ). So no way to take it.

The app has to be max. 10MB when installed.

IMHO, by hand is better.

But, Add mozilla & mozilla composer as the browser and editor, and together it should be under 20mb. And with it it will bring Mozilla Mail which is pretty decent and Chatzilla which is a basic yet effective IRC client.

The whole thing is 56 MB.... But maybe I can do some changes. Yesterday I replaced Xpdf with Gpdf, which freed 11MB. Today I will try to remove Balsa and Firefox and incude the Mozilla Suite. It would make me happy because on my desktop I use Mozilla Composer. It would fit perfectly my needs. :headbang:

We´ll see...

Cute!!

Definitely gonna try it. I've always wanted a small LiveCD with only XFCE and a few basic apps (Firefox :woot: ) on it!

I'm so touched now ... :cry:

Sorry Darkelve, no more Firefox now.... Some things have changed:
Removed Balsa, Firefox. Added the Mozilla Suite: Browser, Messenger (Mail), News, Addressbook, and: COMPOSER!!! :mr-green:

And another file-manager: ROX. Just as an alternative... B)

And removed Sodipodi. Its now THE GIMP 2 !!!

But another problem remains: the name: I´ve to choose between NIX and SAM. What do you think? :idea:

I don't like NIX. It reminds me of the ugly nix-hounds in Morrowind. Also in Dutch, 'Niks' (sounds the same as 'nix') means 'nothing'. So I'd go for SAM, or something else.

bugger, you should have put inkscape in instead.

And. If you can, make it support firewire CD drives and I will be a VERY happy bloke.
