[Trisquel-users] Make Your Own Version of Trisquel

2013-07-23 Thread simonafreeman 

Hi,

Am loving Trisquel right now. It's how Ubuntu should run except without all  
the bloat!  Followed the documentation for making my own trisquel but I added  
a few extra steps as I didn't have the right desktop.  I found that to get  
the look and feel of the regular Trisquel download you need to add the  
trisquel-base 6.0.7 from the synaptic package manager otherwise you just have  
the xfce desktop.  I also added triskel and lxde to give a few extra desktop  
options.  I added cinnamon from the linux mint repositories but found a  
problem with nemo so had to uninstall it as I kept getting an error message.   
Once I'd loaded all the apps I wanted I created a custom live cd using  
remastersys. Add the precise repository from remastersys.com to your sources.  
  Happy days!

Are you really sure about the linux mint repos?
They don't care much about free software; I think the danger of getting some  
proprietary libs or dependences is to high.

You should study very carefully which packages get installed.

Instead of creating yet another desktop I suggest creating a Trisquel  
Server edition ISO much like the one from Ubuntu that includes specific  
applications to that environment.

Installed Mint once so don't really know if I am sure about the repos?  I  
followed a forum post on here about a few users who were running Tris 6.0  
with cinnamon installed.  I looked for the error message that I got regarding  
cinnamon in this forum but didn't see any other comments about it.  I just  
wanted to get their desktop environment wasn't too fussed about installing  
any of their apps.
