It was my intention to create a controlcenter for most of the available TiddlyWiki documentation and use some of the graphics that people have created for TW over time: "TW-OS is a small OS, setup to use, demo and evaluate TiddlyWiki ressources..." I've changed BrowserLinux's behaviour in several ways to make that happen: 1) When the livecd boots it will startup a TW "TiddlySnips", which is a container for a "websnippets" collection. Because TW-OS is an operating system, I've managed to install the TiddlySnip extention in FireFox (4.0.1 - updated and upgradable...) and made it work from a livecd - no customization needed.. 2) I have revamped and extended the AppStarter application to provide shortcuts to many of the present TiddlyWiki ressources and documentation- Idea is that as a newcommer you will have everything you need to get started at your fingertips. It should also provide a complete experience suitable for presenting TiddlyWiki for "outsiders"... 3) TW-OS is a remaster of PuppyMartins BrowserLinux, which means that I have added or left out some things from the menus. I.e. I've hidden the option to install Google Chrome, because TW needs tiddlysaver.jar - and you would have to install java - 4) A puppy remaster like TW-OS might be compared to TiddlyWiki's shadowtiddlers because when you do a "frugall install" to usb or save a "savefile" with persistent changes of the system, - the original is still there. You can have several "savefiles" (encrypted or unencrypted) to choose from, when you startup - all using the same "basesystem". You can always go back to the original - if something breaks... The basesystem *could* be PuppyMartin's BrowserLinux (or any other Puppy Linux derivative), however I made this variant as a contribution to the TiddlyWiki community.. 5) TW-OS has 3. (4 with the empty.html) locally stored TiddlyWikis, and you can use it without any internetconnection - however it is *very* easy to connect to the net (wireless and lan) from *any* computer you use - because TW-OS (and all other Puppy derivatives) lets you save and run the system from an usb, - you'll just need "some hardware" to run your own OS, anytime anywhere.... 6) I use Puppy Linux every day (even at work, where I open my virtual jobpc via VmWare ViewClient or at home where I use Cisco's AnyConnect for vpn connection), because it gives me an extremely fast and responsive system - on very lowtech hardware.. 7) You can easily turn your own copy of TW-OS into a livecd showcase of your own customized TiddlyWikis by running the remasterscript -> star icon on the desktop -> TiddlyWiki Apps -> More Apps -> More Apps (or simply /usr/share/applications/Remaster-Puppy-live-CD) 8) You can change appstarters directly from the dialogs - no programmingskills required... 9) If you want to localize TW-OS it's a 2-minute job - You simply choose keyboardlayout, localtime etc - and translate/change the .jwmrc (hidden file) in the /root/ directory - again no programming skills required... 10) Enjoy :-) Cheers Måns Mårtensson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
