Good point! I've been collecting many of the useful Free windoze software installers, and so will make my own updated CD -- however, not being a windows expert, I don't know how smooth I can make the collection... I think this is one aspect of "GNU Win II" that is much more refined -- they made it like a finished product, whereas I will more simply put a bunch of installers on a disc. There are a couple of my own favorites, that have to be unzipped and run from there (and a shortcut made manually), which is troublesome. Any suggestions?
I'll try to look into the framework of the GNU Win project, and see if I can reuse their packaging methods with newer (and maybe a bit less) software. I'm not concerned about development tools for windows, anyone geeky enough will gladly visit [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get the download... I think things like knoppix, the BBC, and Gentoo's live-ppc are great subjects to get people started. There is also something awesome called "MoviX" which is a project for a bootable multimedia-playing linux disc: http://movix.sourceforge.net/ Awesome, eh? Maybe we can put some of the A/V propaganda on a bootable CD to give away, that'd be cool, huh? I could digitize the RevolutionOS video, but I'd have to double-check the licensing -- I think it is copyrighted but maybe promotes this sort of thing? I've been collecting some neat things that might be of interest -- the video tour of the kernel among them... although that is just eye-candy for a newbie, we need stuff with real substance. Propaganda! I wonder if this distro plays multimedia more efficiently on older hardware, since it is special-purpose?? Well, ciao and check y'all l8rz, Ben B On Tue, 1 Jul 2003 16:57:08 -0700 Tim Howe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | I saw it but it is not up to date. | | On Tue, 1 Jul 2003 16:52:46 -0700 | Ben Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | | > Tim, see the link I made, both on the wiki page and also to this | > thread! | > | > -Ben B | > | > PS - in case you lost it: http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/en/order.html | > It has MANY programs, see | > http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/apps/en/bestlist.html | > | > | > On Tue, 1 Jul 2003 10:37:15 -0700 | > Tim Howe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | > | > | I have made some changes... | > | -- _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
