Dear folks, There is a summer of code project in which fedora is a participant. http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraBounties in this wiki there is a LiveCD generator project that will produce a Fedora Live CD. I know that there are some Fedora Based LiveCD's already, but my impression is that the project's idea to create a cd which runs from CD to check how well it works with the given hardware and can install faster(instead of using anaconda ang going to the several install methods. As was discussed before in a prior thread about Fedora Baaed LiveCD's, there are serveral like Berry Linux, Adios Live CD, and Linux4all(formerly known as Basilisk, which Thomas Cameron suggested). I got a chance to download Basilisk and Thomas was right. It has the closest resemblance to a Fedora Core installation. You can choose, gnome or kde. It works very nicely! Maybe this could help out Gustavo with his OpenOffice.org font problems. I found out searching through google and fedora home page that there is a summer of code project. http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Probably, this message is kind of late but we have until June 14 to submit. http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora is also a participant in this project. There are several projects that one can participate in. I am very much interested in the LiveCD generator project, but am still having trouble with the way the LiveCD is generatoed. I want to use the linux live scripts by the creator of SLAX Tomas Matejicek http://www.linux-live.org/ and as a requirement we need to have the kernel patched up with squashfs and unionfs in order for the scripts to work and generate the LiveCD. I managed to crank out a livecd, but it went over 700MB limit. It was 891MB and in that computer I did not have a DVD burner to at least try a liveDVD to check if it ran. If someone is currently running squashfs and unionfs on their fedora systems, any pointers/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also if you have the time and could participate in the summer code try to enlist before the deadline. Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
