Bruno Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 . . . . . It is the forum's second anniversery as you would already have read here:We begin our 3rd year, Happy Anniversary, SNLFI hope you all posted your wishes HereNow . . . . . about the All Things Linux Live CD's:First, this is never meant to be or become a serious competition for the major Linux Distros . . it is just for fun, a birthday present to enlighten the festivities . . . a little candle on the cake :DNor will there ever be an ATL-Live 2.0 . . . any updates posted or account opened at distrowatch :DI will however try to troubleshoot those that have troubles running it ( sure I will )About the ATL-Live.iso:. . . . . <-- ClickThough it is not really made to install to HD, it can be done just as easy as PCLos because it uses the PCLos installer . . . . . . . . just run /usr/bin/livecd-install . . . . But because it has mixed packages I would not run the updates because you might loose sound and end up with an "udev" that is worse then the one it has now. Most likely to mess up are Java, Kdemultimedia, soundscripts and earlier mentioned udev.You can however add extra packages like: Mozilla, Mozilla-mail, Evolution, Gftp, Gkrellm-plugins, Lame and Anacron . . . but do un-mark the updates first after updating the list in synaptic. . . . . There is no guarantee here though . . but if things break you will have to simply start all over again About the MINI-ATL-Live.iso:This one is kept as small as possible ( 180MB ) . . but still includes Firefox and Thunderbird . . . there is no HD install, no fancy login screen or wallpaper. It was a first project to see if it was possible to make a Live CD and is handy as rescue CD or on systems with little CPU and memory.About downloading:I have uploaded both ISOs on several sites . . . . and because all of those sites have traffic limits I have to ask you to send me a PM so I can regulate that traffic and see to it that we do not overload one "mirror" too much . . . so please be patient, keep the link I send you to yourself and certainly do not post it on the forum ( or any other forum )On dialup ?For people on dial-up: There are several volunteers that will send you the CD by snail-mail, just let us know and we will set things up so you will be running the ATL-Live soon.So . . . . . My dear friends . . . . I had loads of fun making these 2 CDs . . . I hope you will have fun giving them a spin :)Thanks to Scot, Jeber and the beta testers for their patience and absolute silence about the project. BrunoDISCLAIMER: Many, many coasters were created, but no live animals were harmed making these Live CDs... . . . . . ====================================================NOTE: LimeWire fix:There is a real easy fix for LimeWire . . . . do, AS USER: $ kwrite /home/highlander/.bash_profile You will see a couple of lines of code . . . one of them is: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/binMake that:PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_07/binAnd do not forget to put the ":" between what is already there and the part you add :)Then save the file . . . . log out . . log in . . and try to start LimeWire again ==================================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengeek Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Jan I had no idea there were so many either!Just checking through some of those distros I noticed that there are a few available for Macs, even Gentoo. Anyone tried Linux on a Mac? (Maybe I should ask this in the Mac forum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhbell Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Thanks BrunoI finally got it downloaded and burned to a CD I am using it now as I write this. I was a little disappointed because it did not recognize my Gigabit Nvidia Ethernet card. So I am running the live CD on my 2nd machine with Sis chipset and sis 900 Ethernet card. Thanks to all who helped make this distro. It is terrific and looks very nice so far. It is funny PC Los won't run on my machines but this Distro as I understand it, is a derivative of PC Los and does. anyway thanks to allMel You got it Mel . . . the PM is on it's way :DB) Bruno<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dard Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I just finished downloading the .iso I want to install my new dvd burner tomorrow morning when I'm fully awake. I'll burn the .iso then and give it a test drive.Thanks Bruno for sharing this live-cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is because it is a mix of PClos, a little Mandrake and a tiny bit of Sun ( Java ). . . . . . .

mhbell Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 BTW: Did you try "forcedeth" on the nvidia chipset system for the onboard nic ? Bruno<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes I did and it recognized it but still could not get my Hi Speed internet (cable Connection) to work so put it on second machine and all worked well. I am sure that I can get it to work on the Nvidia machine when I have more time to play with it. This is busy time of year for me and several of my Clients..Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 LOL . . . maybe this time you need the "nvnet" driver for it . . . . . . that onboard NIC of yours is one crazy piece of hardware :PB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 LOL . . yep I did tweak the prompt for the user and root in a different color . . . :)Look in ~/.bashrc and /root/.bashrc and you will see the PS line I added at the bottom . . . one of my favorite tweaks I always do fist on every install . . . . makes it even lore clear if you are "user' or "root" . . :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
