my live cd: beta aviable ...

[Dirk Westfal]

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
