The survey was done on this list just to gauge interest in it before releasing it. I did try and convey this to you and Kevin. Maybe we had a communication breakdown. In that case, accept my apologies. Spins have to go through a checklist. Remixes aren't required to do it but I did test the basic things I could. All of the packages are already in the Fedora repository and haven't been modified. So whatever bugs are in it are already in it. The remix doesn't introduce anything new. Let's just move forward without more bickering. If you want to work on a updated image, let's just do that.

Your last comment on the topic was: "That is what enables me to even suggest that we do a remix at this stage." You suggested something, you didn't tell me about a prototype or about that you were to release something. Where is that prototype? Did someone test it? Was there any testing done at all? When someone on this list asked for the LXDE Spin last week your reply was: "Haven't decided yet. Might work on it if I find time." This was on June 10th, on June 15th the spin way already announced. I doubt one can do the spinning plus a reasonable amount of QA within 4 times. Have you been running the "basic spin testing" or checked the "Things to test on LXDE"? Obviously not, although it was all in the wiki and you knew. > Including updates in the release while bringing in a few more fixes > breaks other things.

One of the reasons why the spin did not make it in time were problems with debranding it properly. You insisted that this problem was important and therefor I had to delay the spin. Strange to see you changed you mind now: The issues remain, but you released the Spin anyway. > The fact it is your work with some modifications is fully acknowledged at > > http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/remixes/LXDE/lxde-fedora-remix-11.ks > > Of course, the original contains traces of the Xfce kickstart file I > did. Sorry, but you didn't do the Xfce kickstart ether. I originally did it, you modified it a little, inserted "(c) Rahul Sundaram, GPlv2 or later" in the header and released it without telling Kevin or me.

We did discuss about this before Christoph. I told you I was interested in getting a prototype out early and did a survey in this before that you were aware of and we discussed about offlist.

I have made a new version of Fedora Osijek Remix[1] based on Fedora 11, and this time iso image that is produces boots! ;) I have split it up in two .ks files[2][3] so that there can be made two kinds of iso images, one with all software (including proprietary flash, skype and similar software) and other iso that is only open source software. You will see that we have included multimedia files that are forbidden in US due to patent issues, but there are intended to be distributed in parts of the world that aren't troubled by patent issues... and also this can be made even more granular with 3rd .ks file that would be only files from Fedora repos. I would like to ask Rahul and everybody who is knowledgeable to please review these files and report ANY feedback, please, the more feedback the better. I would also like to know and find out how to make Respin with some folder of video (ogg) files on the desktop that is available on livecd but also after you install it to hard drive on each users desktop?

I think this remix should not have been released without wider testing. There will be an update to fix the LXDE specific bugs. Hopefully there will be also a working syslinux, but I cannot promise this since all LiveCDs I do based on rawhide are unbootable. Seems like syslinux is pretty mich broken ATM.

Because this release does not boot on several of my machines :( I get ISOLINUX.. and an error message about I installed via Live x86_64 cd with GNOME instead.
