Hi, i've put a first beta version of my cd together (and hopefully took care of all trademarks and stuff :) : - kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl (lucky that this one has no logo ...) - x/kde - twm - gdmlogin / most gnome-libs - config tools and much more (probably lot's of bugs also ...) . Documentation (Readme, packagelist.) and download is at: http://www.linux4all.de/distribution/fc1 The packages included are currently only the basic (kde) applications, and they're mostly dependency clean (though lacking perl and some other things to save space) - it's mostly a prove of principle... Further software will almost surely require a cloop compressed image - this one is uncompressed. (cloop currently mostly works fine until KDE comes up... ). Another thing: x - autoconfiguration may or may not work - something seems different to redhat 9.... Since the standard fc kernel does not have devfs support, a fallback method is provided (/dev into tmpfs) . I think i remember that around redhat 7 devfs was aviable in redhat kernels. If i'm right, does somebody know why it was thrown out ? If you test it and you have bugreports/suggestions/improvements etc, please drop me a line. If you think it sucks, please let me know also. (already expecting to get some heat ... ) so long, Dirk Westfal -- Dirk Westfal //Admin//RHCE/6.2//QB/DGQ mailto: root[/livelinux](a)nwst.de livecd based on Redhat 9.0 : server / xkde + openmosix : www.nwst.de / www.linux4all.de livecd based on Fedora CORE : (soon ;-)
