[Morphix-user] Morphix 0.3-3 uploaded (softof :-)

[Alex de L. <ale...@xs...>]

Hey everyone!

Note: the ftpmirror might be down atm, blame the isp :o)

Well, been quite busy on the new release, working out bugs, playing with
minimodules and throwing in new goodies. 
Light, Heavy and KDE are online, couldn't get ut2003(!) working with the
Game/nvidia module, hope to upload that one later this week. For those
interested, the changelog is shown below, most changes are not that fancy,
except maybe xfree4.3! Yes, you now have a transparent, mouseshadowed
mousecursor you either will hate or love...

What's next? Well, there still are a few (minor) install bugs, but i'm focussing
on the translucency lkm (This lets you "write" to a read-only filesystem, for
the ones willing to try it out: a minimod is on the mirror, just follow the
updated ISO Howto). This lkm should bring more flexibility to the mainmodules
(by adding new apps, changing the language, adding specialised drivers, you name
it), it's still quite untested but seems to work well enough. New graphics are
on their way, started work on a partitioner a la diskdrake, new mainmodules are
springing up and more people are checking it out and playing around with it!
Enough to keep morphix moving on :o)

Cheers, and as always, keep that feedback rollin'!

[Alex de L. <ale...@xs...>]

Hey all,

Seems the archive is doing some weird stuff, just testing if it's solved now...

Cheers,
Alex

[Morphix-user] Re: IPv6

[Alex de L. <ale...@xs...>]

Hey all!

Well, Chris beat me to it, but welcome to the morphix mailinglist! Just added a
note that this isn't strictly for -user purposes, it could just as well have
been -devel, -all or -rubbish. (and yes, this is a new mailinglist...)

As for Ipv6: i've included it on the new MorphixRoadMap for the 0.3-3 release. I
seemed to underestimate the need for these tools, i let myself get distracted by
nice and shiny gui's too often. Could inclusion in an expert-module be an
alternative?

0.3-3 you might say? Yups, i've thrown 0.3-2 on the mirror as of now, everything
fresh and full of bugs (hope not). Check the changelog included for changes (d'oh).

Just hope that this mailinglist will be succesful and speed up the communication
ammong the people interested in it. If you want to contact me personally, don't
hesitate to mail or drop on in #knoppix on freenode.net.

Cheers,
Alex

Changelog for 0.3-2:

base:
	- added swap, 
	- fstab generating, 
	- some cleanups. tried autofs, but couldn't get it to work, together with ipv6
todo in 0.3-3

	main modules:
	- heaps of gtkinstall+postinstall bugs fixed, you can now actually make a new
user ;)
	- added a few extra options (lilo-choices)
	- Organised the install so you boot with kdm/gdm after a heavy/kde install

	light 
	- not much new stuff here, just 0.3-1 with the new installer

	heavy 
	- +gdm, +vlc

	kde  
	- +kdm, +quanta, +gaim, +gimp

	game 
	- +q3demo, -q2-files

	bare 
	- +pump, +installer, +lilo, 
	- more of a bare module with all deb's installed for hdinstall (hopefully)

[Morphix-user] IPv6

[Chris H. <chr...@we...>]

The archive for this list is not operational, is it brand new perhaps?
Well, I don't know if there's going to be a Morphix-developer, but I'd
really, really love to see Morphix going IPv6, and alextreme somewhere
mentioned this as if it was a day's work? Well, I'm willing to help -
and steal the fame if possible, what is the current status on this?
Thanks,

Chris
