If you're using GNU/Linux you most certainly multitask without doing the above.

You can record a session (on any X server) with Xnee and replay the same session (on any X server (incl xvfb, xnest and xephyr) using Xnee so I guess Xnee can help you out here. > Also, I'm glad to see that you've created xnee and other packages.

On my machine cnee has the size: 1241342 and when I strip it: 179512 so I figure there should be room/space for 180K on the CD and certainly enough for your RAM. I have been using xnee on system with much less RAM than 512. As a matter of fact I have 512 MB on the machine on which I am hacking Xnee. But yes, I am thinking about upgrading to more ;) > I'll probably have to look! into all of this more, but what is the > possibility > of you creating xn ee for a Live distro? The possibility of me creating a Live distro of GNU/Linux is less than you creating it. > Could someone possibly create a module > for MySLAX Creator? I guess that someone could. I will not do it.

Simply put the binaries (make sure you tell the user's where they can find the sources) in the live distro. > I'm thinking it probably wouldn't work right, because it needs to observe key > commands and etc. Make sure that XTest and RECORD extensions are installed and enabled in the X server and cnee/gnee/pnee should work. > I'm arm-chair thinking, because I haven't been able to use any macro program > with a live-cd. > > How would these programs work when within a Live distro? No difference from when run from HD. That's the beauty of a live CD. Most apps will run the same way, only very special ones will behave differently. > Any way to get them inside of Live distro? It is not the task of the GNU Xnee project to do this. You have to ask your favo-distro of GNU/Linux to include Xnee. > > Thank you for taking the time to read this email. > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > *Want to change your life?
