Some time ago I have the same idea. I'll be happy if I can help with this. My fundamentals is to provide a standardized system to customers, to run the systems that I develop (in Java / SQL / client-server). 1. I think that must have the SUN's JVM in this distro. 2. The menus must be simplified. (no configs for the end-user) 3. Don't include multiple internet browsers, or mail clients. Just one of them. (to avoid conflicts and confuse users) 4. shortcuts for the apps in the desktop (or a menu like knoppix or MACOS) 5. Minimum customization in the menus / icons / desktop (standardization for all users, avoiding confuse) A guy developed a distro in brasil, more or less what you want: this is called KURUMIM, but is a live distro, with less than 200 MB, and it's base on knoppix. http://www.guiadohardware.net/kurumin/ tnks. -----Mensagem original----- De: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] Em nome de Chadley Wilson Enviada em: terça-feira, 28 de setembro de 2004 08:51 Para: For users of Fedora Core releases Assunto: To customise Fedora Core completly Greetings, Before I start I know how some of you love certian things, What I am about to request has come about after a extensive study and some test programs run by Proline computers, The test subjects where endusers and they have helped us decide what a basic first timer and enduser needs from and operating system. Hence my new project. The new project is ProlineX SFU The goal is to trim Fedora Core 2 into a one CD distro. The Idea is to provide a Stable Fast and Userfriendly disc. When I discussed userfriendly with the endusers, what most of us discuss here came out, I said all you need to do is .... its easy. They said thats not user friendly. (Flame-WAR) So I have a plan to create a shrinked version of FC2, and include the packages where the user, " just needs to... it easy " When I finish this project I will host the disc in South Africa somewhere for all to try. The basic idea is this: Kernel 2.7.xx Boot graphically in under a minute to kde (bigest challenge I think) Include: Open Office Some accessories Some games Internet tools will be a dailer, kmail and konqueror and a few other for blue tooth , wireless etc.. The usual preferences menu (less what ever gets dropped as a result of deps) XMMS with mp3, wma,etc... support Acrobat reader Real player Have support for graphically buning CD/DVDs, with support for creating Audio discs from mp3s. (K3b) Play movies and DVDs System tools i.e networking kwikdisc etc Apt-get and Synaptic built in (default set to freshrpm repo's) How do I expect this to work? Not sure but this in Linux and it is do able. I would really appreciate some support on this. The first request is to find out just for a base system no gui keeping it LSB compliant what pakages from the cds do I need to get a bootable base system running? -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX ===================================== -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
