  2. MAX 0.1 - coming next days

    in WorkBench

    Posted

    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....

    Hi anna,

     

    thank you very much!

     

    - While booting: error: "mount fs type sysfs not supported by kernel"

    Solution: disable the service 'netfs' in MCC

     

    done

     

    - MCC --> software install/uninstall: you managed to break your urpmi database! Delete your urpmi sources, all! Rebuild the database. - Before you build your iso: as root, perform: updatedb

     

    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.

     

    -- Software: starting Linneighborhood: error, does not come up.

    -- Software: ROX, when starting error: can't find Icontheme blah blah

     

    Fixed. There was another: the Firefox-link in the desktop-menu. Also fixed.

     

    - add a start message/startscreen to your livecd, that's a text/asci file, with certain limited dimension, you add this file with the option: --bootmsg /home/$user/name.of.file.here (this is an example) Take a look at the attached example, and keep exactly the dimension when you edit the text, otherwise it will scroll out of the visible screen while booting.

     

    It' s not ready yet, but I'm working on my own start-screen. But thanx for the tips!

     

    - *Major* issue: the German nodeadkeys don't work, so you are not able to type: \ ~ @ | and so on.

    This a known bug in mklivecd !(for many non US keyboards) There is a temp workaround, don't have the time to explain, please browse the livecd-users list (Nora's postings !).

     

    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... ;)

    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:

    is that xfce or xfce4? i think xfce4 is pertier 

     

    It is XFce 4.05.

     

    Add mozilla & mozilla composer as the browser and editor, and together it should be under 20mb

     

    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...

    Hi Anna,

     

    yes I found it... :headbang:

     

    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.

    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
