Toronto has the same code base as Delft -- with additional applications included and some (minor) fixes.

Additional packages:
VirtualBox OSE, KOffice Suite, Gimp, Gthumb, Gxine, Gftp, Bluefish, Quanta, kaudiocreator, Kopete, kdebluetooth-pin, bunch of networking tools and printer packages ...

ENGLISH only edition !
To use the copy2ram option you need at least 768 MB RAM.

Improved isolinux bootsplash, with keyboard navigation to select a boot option

Different wallpapers

Fixed:
* (non-critical) error messages when shutting down the system in livecd persist mode


How it looks:

There should not be any serious issues or bugs cool.gif

But it would be nice to have some feedback before I declare it final and announce it officially.

OK using Toronto now seams fine 3D works found and is using swap so far so good. Wish I had more ram (512) so I could try copy2ram like with delft and free up the cd drive but O well the wireless works. dose something like BOOT: root=/dev/hda2/toronto.iso work with this distro?? ( can you boot the iso on the HD ) other than that it seams fine will post back as I play with more stuff biggrin.gif

O ya by the way none of the images (emoticons or avatars) would show up until I logged in ....curious

Thx, vinny.

You can start the iso saved on HD, but not with the CD.
You'd need a virtualization software installed on your system. Feel like trying VirtualBox?

Install VirtualBox (either on a Windows system or in a Linux system), and you can create a virtual disk and start the iso.

yes I tryed the vertualbox in toronto last night and it did try to work but I supose 512RAM isent quite enuff for a livecd and vertualbox to run at the same time unsure.gif I used it to boot a iso using the cd drive cd iso image option in vertualbox the iso is a slackware derivativ called slax livecd I figured it would be a good candidate becose its anther small signatur system and it did load but gets stuck at the desktop. the slax is a good one and small enuf to load to ram BUT it's wireless dosent work for me like YOURS DOSE biggrin.gif cool.gif biggrin.gif

512 MB memory should be enough.

When you create the virtual disk, just give it only 128-160 MB from your memory. And the slax iso should fly :-)

No French in 'Toronto', I am sorry. But you will be able to add it!
