Short info: SAM 0.5 released, now it can be installed on hdd. See http://sam.hipsurfer.com

Its a problem of mklivecd. The actual version works with kernel 2.6. Sysfs is a filesystem only supported by kernel 2.6. The mklivecd-scripts build the fstab-entry around sysfs (if I did understand what someone told me). So if u use kernel 2.4, the error occurs. But thats no problem because nothing will happen. If you want to change this error, you have to change the mklivecd-scripts. But dont ask me how....

Good evening! Now SAM v0.2 is ready for download! Most important new feature: localized now for both german AND english!!! And: Forums are online! Have fun! Greetings from germany, Nico

New (fixed) Iso ready for download! SAM Homepage ------- Nico

Hi anna, thank you very much! done That' s right. I only left out the /var/lib/rpm and /var/lib/urpmi to save space (around 100 MB!!). I don' t think this is a problem in using SAM as a live-CD. But I need them for myself on my installed SAM. Fixed. There was another: the Firefox-link in the desktop-menu. Also fixed. It' s not ready yet, but I'm working on my own start-screen. But thanx for the tips! Hm. Big problem. Ok I'm searching for a solution. Thanx again. Didnt see it. Ok maybe tomorrow there will be a fixed version of SAM on SAM Homepage Good night, I have to work... ;)

Now my first try of the SAM-Live-CD is finished. You can download it under sam.hipsurfer.com It's only in german, but a international version is in progress. And remember: It' s my first try on live-CD' s! Greetings from Germany, Nico

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

It is XFce 4.05. 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. We´ll see...

@anna: No way! It should have wysiwyg. What about the name "SAM" ? I think there is no SAM-Linux out there.

Hi Anna, yes I found it... 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. ). So no way to take it. The app has to be max. 10MB when installed.

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 ): 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 [moved from Everything Linux by spinynorman]
