Borgix ISO is 99% done

[TollhouseFrank]

Warg was trimming unneeded packages last night. The ISO packed into 880-some mbs the first time... and he wants it under 700 for CD's... So he was trimming extras last night (like if there was more than 1 of something, like multiple e-mail clients, multiple browsers, etc)....

it would be great if you could have it up before I finish spring break this week. That way I could download in less than a week

Whats borgix?

 

[sno.lcn]

How will you guys do it, put it on a torrent or something?

 

[WarriorII]

More than one e-mail client?

Cut them ALL !

That is why there is Yahoo & others.

Just the basic stuff.

A word pad type editor, web browser, photo editor maybe.

-A slimed down, bare boned, , Folding version.





EDIT: BTW, I'd like a copy too.

yup they are doing to torrent style

Whats borgix?

its a linux os THF and King Warg are building. Has built in support for F@H, and other DC Clients I beleive.

I want one to test. I will grab a copy and help seed torrents as well when it is done.

Me too, I could seed 24/7 on my 8mb connection for a few months

It sounds like it will be nice, I can't wait to give it a run.

Oh my GOD, they're not going to let those Berkeley people in, too?

I'd like to see everything unessential removed...everything else can be gotten using <insert package manager here>.

Sign me up.

I'm assuming you mean a half-decent package manager? (basically, anything except RPM)

(The term package manager, to me, materially implies something that can resolve dependencies properly. So that necessarily excludes rpm. )

I can't believe I used YAST in SuSE and thought it was good. Well I was young then

 

[dz_jad]

I got nothin'

I kick in some bandwidth as well.

Right, just checking. We are all set then.

Woot! well count me in (if you dont mind) i dont know too terribly much about linux/unix for that matter but i have dabbled around in it and have read some books and used fedora core 4 (i didnt care for it very much) but hell id love to try this out

 

[WarriorII]

If it'll be a live cd possibly, that would really kick some booty.



Although, an air cooled machine is bad enuff, I guess I'd have to install
it to the hdd for sound reduction.

I'm up for learn`n sumptin new.

 

[TollhouseFrank]

guys...on the package managers. Being built on clusterknoppix, it of course uses apt.

Warg built a GUI front-end for a .rpm to .deb converter, and also a gui Binary Installer (works great!).

talkin' with warg right now... there is an issue with KDE on the final ISO he is trying to work out. It is loading up with the 'default' kde and not the one he worked so hard on remastering.
