Hello everybody, >> Had in idea today talking to another dev of live cd about DL. >> Why don't we put on the wiki links to the live cd done with DL with a >> short description, the link and a screenshot? >> In my case, I would put also my conf file if possible.

I can also help with the documentation, in the next weeks I may try to start searching for tips and tricks on this list and do a page which will eventually become as useful as the "old" Knoppix Customize Docs. It's not essential, but definitely a plus. As for the site I'm here to give the help needed: it is just I would like to hear first from the devs, they know best what is urgent :-) > May be you like to make a nice alternate boot and splash screen for > debian live? > Working on it with a friend of mine who is a good digital artist. If I get suggestions from the core developers on which media they would like to change I will for sure. IMHO a ogg vorbis video with a audio commented make-live session (screencast) would add 100% user ease to our lovely DL. A html tutorial included in the cd also. >> I think it maybe a good way of getting the thing outside to people. >> In a way DL is WAY better than current projects for making live cd's. >> > In my eyes it is rapidly going better and better.

As I already stated on this list _the only_ way to go for ultranoobs is to have an Xnest version in which they can change at least kde/gnome appereance, add/remove software with synaptic and then just click a big button with: make my own live system. We did this for Mediainlinux Version 3 two years ago and it was working. Start the live cd, click a customize button, do your changes in the Xnest window, close the window and press "Y" to confirm you want to create a ISO and after some minutes you have a new ISO. This is idiot proof, to have to change /etc/ files and so on _is not_ for noobs (still). But is a great way, the best way for now (and on, and on... :-) to create Debian Gnu/Linux based live cds for "small" and "big" devs like us.
I miss the installer guys, I'm sorry this goes against DL policy but I don't see the reason not give the user this possibility. I love the Debian Graphical Installer but please don't tell me is easy as the Ubuntu one (aargh! I named the devil :-) Just think that my favourite installer for now is the Linspire one. I don't know how many of you have seen it (take a look in case you didn't, just to know). I would describe it like this: one question (password) and five REAL minutes after the OS is installed. One reboot needed (automatic). This of course in case of a Winzoz free machine, as for the partitioning this is another story... I really think Debian should provide in the installer a similar choice for extra new Linux users that may have a old pc to give Linux a try, but I don't dear to write it on the D-I ml :-) Thanks for taking the time to read all this stupid thoughts, I will now shut down for a bit...
