Is it possible to include a windows manager like KDE or Gnome onto a Trinux CD? _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com |

Multiple xterms is the only reason I could come up with. Well maybe netdude or ethereal would be cool as well. But if you can't do it from the command-line it shouldn't be done. I actually came "this" close to getting X4 working back in January, but. If I every get it working (fixing the ISO issue is a higher priority) Evilwm (http://evilwm.sourceforge.net) will be the default or possibly blackbox. - mdf |

Hello all, I have chosen Devil-Linux as the base product for Linux Society operations because it, in beta format, is both bleeding edge and stable. It has also been a pure joy to work with. Brian wrote: > > Is it possible to include a windows manager ... > > onto the CD? Franz: > What is the business case? Why do you need them? Multiple xterms is the > only reason I could come up with... A few years ago, I was promoting Trinux for as the basis for a product plan I had known as the ThinMan. ThinMan has now become ThinMan/FAT and has a sophisticated yet deceptively simple model designed to pull the rest of the 6 billion humans into the Internet fold. I like Devil-Linux in every respect: Its packaging --> tgz Its configuration --> /mnt/floppy/etc.tar.gz Its media --> /dev/hd(c|d) Its f/s protocol --> LVM I have worked w/ lnx-bbc and it is very nice, Xwindows works very well. I would very much like to burn Kloopix but the 600Mb download... Devil-Linux perfectly fits the present Linux Society needs, and time allowing, my next project is to flesh out the Linux Society's Devil-Linux/LSD harddrive to include /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/gcc. This is to create the development environment that we need to contribute to Devil-Linux and develop our own LSD. Linux Society is commited ~not~ to changing the Devil-Linux model since we want to use DL CDs as our distribution... But we also want to contribute to development, for this we will need gcc and probably X as well for multipe Xterms For the time being this should work until we get a development ISO And think of the costs: ISO in CD: 0.50 $$ Floppy /etc/: 0.50 $$ 250-1000 MB swap hard drive: free or better ~and~ LVM: PRICELESS !!!!

John, I don't know why you talk about Devil-Linux on Trinux-talk. I am sorry for this cross-post reply... but I have to make Knoppix advocacy. ;-) >From: "John van V." <joh...@ya...> >To: "Matthew Franz" <mf...@ci...>; "Brian Anon" <bri...@ho...>; "TheLinuxSociety" <the...@ya...>; "Alex Genna" ><ale...@ne...>; "Devil Linux" <dev...@li...> >Cc: <tri...@li...> >Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 8:09 PM >Subject: [Trinux-talk] Business Case for X ( and gcc ;) ) > > > Hello all, > > I have chosen Devil-Linux as the base product for Linux Society operations > because it, in beta format, is both bleeding edge and stable.

I guess your are talking about Knoppix from http://www.knopper.net. I don't understand why we talk about this in Trinux mailing list. But I would just like to say the Knoppix is a great linux boot from CD. It is a bit like the French DemoLinux except that this is german (other language available). This might be the only problem [except for the download]. :-) I use it for development (gcc, ...) (to avoid installing Linux on my company laptop). I mostly use if for network security demonstration, because it contain: * Ethereal * Hping2 * nessus * nmap * ... Of course many tools are missing but I have a partition on the side where I compile them. > John, Linux Society Prez > > (also speaking on behalf of Denny, founder) > > ===== > John van Vlaanderen > > ############################################# > # CXN, Inc.
