Fedora LiveCD On-Demand Service

[Thomas Chung]

All,
Just for the fun, I would like to offer a free service for next few
days on experiment.
Basically this is a customized and personalized LiveCD On-Demand for your need.
You tell me what you want on the CD and I'll *try* to build it in 24 hours.
It will be based on the official Fedora 6 LiveCD + your own selection
of package.
It will also include the most current updates from Fedora 6 Updates Repository.
The package must come from Fedora 6 Core or Extras Repositories.
Sorry, NO priority package on this experiment please. :)
Any one interested in?

ps. I'll even ship it for free if you're located in US.

Thomas:

A very generous offer...

How about a Live CD spin (call it a Fedora Docs spin) with the following:

- Fedora Desktop (per currently supported yum groupinstall)
- All Gnome desktop apps (per currently supported yum groupinstall)
- All KDE desktop apps (per currently supported yum groupinstall)
- Plone
- MoinMoin
- Quanta Plus
- Kdevelop
- CVS support (whatever that involves - optional, if too complicated)
- Hard disk installation script (if available)

Of course, with all dependencies resolved. :-)

Whatever you can provide of the above would make it a useful spin, at
least for me.

I am outside the US, so I will need a link to download the CD ISO.

How can you put _All_ apps of Gnome _and_ KDE on _one CD_ ?

Maybe as a LiveDVD Spin?

Okay, maybe I was getting a little greedy. :-)

A liveDVD spin would certainly do it, but I have lousy internet access
and downloading a liveCD ISO is already difficult enough.

Perhaps, this is more realistic:

- Fedora desktop (per yum groupinstall)
- Quanta Plus
- Harddisk installation script

SPACE PERMITTING In order of Priority:
- Kdevelop
- MoinMoin
- CVS
- Plone

I obviously haven't bother to do disk space calculations. If requested, I will
be glad to estimate what is realistic to put on one CD.

Voraciously yours,

Perhaps, my offer was mis-understood. I didn't mean I was going to
build entirely new LiveCD from scratch. I meant to *rebuild* based on
Official Fedora 6 LiveCD + a couple of packages which were missing
from the orignial LiveCD such as "system-config-network" or
"openoffice.org" . Sorry, NO Alpha Harddisk install script will be
added since it has been officially released yet.

I really  need to read my own email before I click on send. I meant...
"NO Alpha Harddisk install script will be added since it has NOT been

An idea that occurs to me is a liveCD with either
graphical desktop, with the following Authoring and
Publishing packages:
tetex-3.0-?? or TeXLive
tetex-xdvi-??
kile if using KDE desktop
or 
TeXMaker if GNOME based liveCD
gnuplot-4.0-??
maxima-runtime
maxima-gui
maxima-clisp
And of course with printing support-
*system-config-printers*

This would be a Math specialized CD of course.  It is
only an idea, I previously created a CD like this with
Kadishi, but since Extras could not be activated to
include packages from it, only TeTEX and gnuplot were
on the CD with both a version with KDE and GNOME
desktops for my friends.  

A Fedora based Math LiveCD not to compete with but to
at least emulate the TeaM-TL (TeX Live + Linux Live)

http://team-tl.livenet.pl/index-eng.php?show=home-eng

Sorry if this is too much to ask for.  But I believe
that this would make many Fedora Users happy to be
able to take their Fedora Desktop anywhere and
showcase their desktop and their mathematical
presentations/work.  If you shoot it down, I
understand the work involved and hope that instead of
a LiveCD a LiveDVD with everything but the kitchen
sink is created and available for download to satisfy
more people's wishes and requests.  

Regards,

Antonio

Once again, this offer is a simple rebuild based on an official Fedora
6 LiveCD which is Gnome based + your own selection of missing packages
you need.  I'm not going to start a whole new distro complete with
existing any distro out there.  In fact, you are the only one who will
receive this *personalized* distro from me.

Now, let's start over again.
1) Test drive the Official Fedora 6 Live CD
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2006-December/msg0000...
2) You notice a few packages are missing from Official LiveCD.
ex) system-config-network
3) Make a list of missing packages you need to be added to your
*personalized* LiveCD.
ex) system-config-network, gome-system-monitor and your own wallpaper.
4) Send me a private email with the package list and your shipping address.
5) I'll *try* to build your personalized LiveCD with your selection of
package added and ship it in 24 hours.

Please note your selection of package should not contain any
proprietary software and must come from official core or extras
repositories.

For your convenience, here is the list of official packages from
Fedora 6 core and extras:
[1] http://fedoranews.org/tchung/livecd/personal/core6.txt
[2] http://fedoranews.org/tchung/livecd/personal/extras6.txt

Still not clear about my offer? Please contact me in private.

Hmm, let see. How about building a live CD open source medias that include
PulseAudio, Jackphone, Audacity, Rosegarden? OpenOffice can be included as
well.

Definitively, you can remove all *-devel package in this list :)

 $ grep devel extras6.txt | wc -l
755

This list is the *entire* rpm packages from Fedora Core 6 Extras
repository not from LiveCD Personal. :)

Hi Thomas.   Would like to see bluetooth included in Fedora whereby it
automatically picks up the devices in use.  I have a Microsoft
EliteBluetooth keyboard and mouse and cannot get it to run with Fedora.
This is the only thing that stops me from ditching Windows completely and
using Fedora.  Will pay the postage to Australia if you can do this.

many thanks.

Understood.

The upside is that you gave me some good ideas for some LiveCD
spins (remixes?) which I and others can create in the near future which
can be customized for specific tasks and projects, something like a "linux
appliance on a CD".

I still like the idea of a Fedora Docs spin, which could provide a variety of
tools for team members to try out and provide feedback, like a pre-installed
Plone wiki LiveCD.
