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:

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

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.

@anna: No way! It should have wysiwyg.

 

 

What about the name "SAM" ?

I think there is no SAM-Linux out there.

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.

is that xfce or xfce4? i think xfce4 is pertier 

 

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. :headbang:

 

We´ll see...

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.
