A New Start
Wow, Sir, your support mean a lot to me. I am grateful. Thanks a lot.
I put a video up on PakOS: https://youtu.be/pj7Q9wrtLuo I hope you get some feedback and further help in your efforts. I wish you well.
Sir, thanks a lot for your input. I have 3 issues at present: 1. Making a Physical USB drive bootable using the the PakOS iso. For that so far, i use unetbootin. However i cannot run it from inside PakOS / Debian. I can either use dd or some GUI tool. Any input to make the physical usb bootable from iso from debain is requested. 2. As there are no partitions inside a virtual machine, and we are already with root privilages in live iso inside virtual box, so all drives are accessible. However once...

I installed PakOS in Virtualbox and successfully used a usb flash drive the was automounted by PCManFM. Is that your script at work? As for Virtualbox guest additions in the ISO, is that what you mean? If so, the deb packages virtualbox-guest-utils, virtualbox-guest-dkms, and virtualbox-guest-x11 need to be included in the live build. The instructions are in the text file prepare-howto.txt: Download the three .deb files for getting the Virtualbox guest additions installed. virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils...
Also I have yet to find a working iso writing tool or script to to make USB boot bak able in debain. I tried a lot but iI have to switch to unetbootin to make my iso boot able from windows or Ubuntu. What is it you use. I would like to make it part of my iso along with VirtualBox, which is throwing a lot of errors during installation.
Sir, I think threre are many issues so far. Frankly speaking I am a novice, and once I try to use my own release for day to day use, I find that I cannot launch many a tools like Software-center, etc. Finally I found that I needed to add gksu in front of launch shortcut. Which I am planning to do shortly. Also pcmanfm does not mount partitions automatically. I had to find a small script to do it. But still the default behavior is not what I want from a daily driver. I am humbled by your interest...
I am anxious to do a video on your project. Do you think it is a good time with the current release? If you are planning an update to address any of the issues you raised, I will hold off until you are ready. Thank you for your involvement and I look forward to hearing from you. :-)
Well the latest version of Full PakOS has been uploaded. A few small issues at the moment. In order for network card to work inside virtual box, you have to select the default driver from drop down. It is set to wlan0 for wireless to work immediately, as many users are not aware why to write wlan0 manually. Also there is noscript add on installed in Firefox browser only. It has to be disabled for most of web pages to work. I intend disabling it by default. Also desktop image properties require a...

Thank you. I will await your new release and look forward to it. Tbh, I pointed you in the direction of the build tools, but it is you who has done all the work. PakOS is uniquely your own creation and a wonderful system.
Dear Sir, you greatly flatter me. It is your base i am using. I am still bug fixing many of the issues like better network drivers, working add-ons in the browser and auto changing wallpaper :). please allow me to upload the latest Full Build tonight, and if i am successful, then i will humbly requeest your attention to a newbie's 1st steps.
I wanted to ask your permission before I do a video on your creation. I am very impressed with the full version and I would like to do a look at video and point people to your download. Is that ok?
@eznix Sir, grateful for looking at PakOS. This iso is the base, as the name also Indictates on which everything will be built. I intend building the base to include only basic drivers so it works on all Hardware including printing and scanning. I have built a Full version as well, however it is 2.2 GB in size and will take considerable time to upload, as my upload speed is just 100k :( I have included most of the functionality you suggested, and will keep on seeking your suggestions in all future...
PakOS looks great so far. I would add leafpad and nano for gui and cli text editing. System-wide firefox browser plugins go in /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions/. Also, a gui package manager would be handy - synaptic perhaps. You can remove hplip and simple-scan since you did not include any other printer utilities. Without foomatic-db and system-config-printer, the hplip software will not do much on its own. For a firewall, ufw is great but its command line. The gui is gufw which brings in almost...
