mpkg stuff: If i remember correctly, u said you were having probs with mpkg specs and syntax. well, i think we need a cross between dpkg and rpm. I personally love rpm's, but dpkg is great too (although, i used mainly dselect, which is really difficult to get used to). syntax- mpkg -(install/upgrade options) -(dependancy stuff) -(other stuff needed) <package>.mpkg as for the package name, foo-1.0.0-mup.mpkg (we should include a copy right, or a distro name in the filename) a copyright/ and a checksum or something to make it secure and valid. distro name only if we plan on making mpkg usable on multiple distro's, other wise it not needed. in which case the mup in the name above would be the copyright, or signature of the package creator or the person that compiled the package. mentalunix admin: check out the mentalunix site. my general idea is that mentalunix admin will be a front end that will load apps like netcon, sndsetup, printconfig, and others. that way, its completely modular, and the front end config file will be in xml, so that users can customize, or that other distributors con customize. basically, change images, and the way its displayed. That way, in testing, as long as everyone has the same version, we can share configs, and test designs and what not, basically, nearly all the config stuff needs to be user customizable. mentalunix wm: as i said before, we need to deside whether windowmaker is practical for default. but basically, we just need config files for all of the available window managers (i think thats the word is was looking for before) that are mentalunix stuff. also, are we going to use mentalunix as the official name, or just code name. i suppose its not that important, as long as we remember how to change all the names in the distro if we modify the official name. mentalunix vm: I think i'll worry about most of the stuff here since, i am the main guy behind it, but what are your ideas for it? plex86 with new front end? or a new app, based off of plex86. either way, plex should be included with distro. my idea is modify plex for backend, and create a front end thats like a vmware ide like thing. basically a development front end that would allow compiling of everything, including virtual compiles on a virtual system. basically, give me your ideas. yozilla: i probably will have someone to develop the jvm (java virtual machine) but yozilla it self will take a long time to develop. for 1.0 release of mentalunix, yozilla may be beta, but probably not. im guessing a bare html display engine, and a good overall gui. basically, i will modify generic config files to be used as a system explorer (like windows explorer) for linux (probably designed mainly for kde/gnome) unless, u have other ideas. ie capabilities, will take years probably, unless we get lots of help. well, i guess that ends my rant for now
