nico Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Willkommen. Welcome to the board. The screen shots look cool, hope you can do that international version soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux_learner Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I´m searching for a nice little WYSIWYG Html-Editor. nvu. http://www.nvu.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdion81 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) 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 Edited June 10, 2004 by jdion81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yippeah, Nico found our board 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: http://www.educa.madrid.org/web/madrid_linux/index.html --anna (aka chris --> rainbowlinux.org) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hi Anna, yes I found it... 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. ). So no way to take it. The app has to be max. 10MB when installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 @anna: No way! It should have wysiwyg. What about the name "SAM" ? I think there is no SAM-Linux out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 is that xfce or xfce4? i think xfce4 is pertier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted June 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) 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. We´ll see... Edited June 11, 2004 by nico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) Cute!! Definitely gonna try it. I've always wanted a small LiveCD with only XFCE and a few basic apps (Firefox ) on it! I'm so touched now ... Edited June 11, 2004 by Darkelve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted June 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But another problem remains: the name: I´ve to choose between NIX and SAM. What do you think? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
