Hello all, The WMLive CD project provides a preconfigured Window Maker desktop to showcase how user friendly, practical and attractive any Window Maker desktop actually is. It is featuring the most recent released official Window Maker version from end of January 2012, not the old fashioned one from the official Ubuntu servers.
I have just finished updating the wmlive-create archive and the ISO torrents on my website http://rumbero.org/wmlive with version 0.62. The basic idea of wmlive-create is to provide a script environment to reconfigure and remaster an existing Ubuntu installation ISO image in such a way that the Window Maker window manager becomes the default and only graphical user interface. The WMLive CD therefore serves as a great showcase for Window Maker Get it while it's hot, and try it out for yourself! Download the remastering scripts here: http://rumbero.org/wmlive/wmlive-create_0.62.tar.xz (Changelog at http://rumbero.org/wmlive/changelog) Two ready-made ISO images featuring the latest Window Maker desktop developments combined with user friendly pre-configurations are available via bittorrent here: 64bit Live CD ISO torrent file: http://rumbero.org/wmlive/wmlive-0.62_ubuntu-11.04-amd64.iso.torrent (ISO image size: 493572 KB) 32bit Live DVD ISO torrent file: http://rumbero.org/wmlive/wmlive-0.62_ubuntu-11.04-i386.iso.torrent (ISO image size: 486404 KB) A complete list of all software packages included on these live ISO can be found at http://rumbero.org/wmlive/pkglist_wmlive.txt. Additional software packages can be easily installed via the normal Ubuntu software installation and update channels. The ISO's have been stripped of most less important packages, and at the same time has been updated to the current release version 10 of both Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, along with some very convenient pre-installed addons. The overall image size of the ISO's is now under 500 MB. The WMLive CD's are based on Ubuntu 10.04 and can be used for normal installation of a Ubuntu system, albeit based on a default Window Maker experience - no other desktop environment is included. The system is not English-only can be operated also in French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, with English staying the default language. All these ISO's were prepared on WMLive systems running in a qemu-kvm virtual machine, which were regularly installed from one of its former versions. A test installation on a Thinkpad T61 also went just fine. Naturally, the already existing Ubuntu basis is pretty solid in itself, so WMLive is probably not really rocket science either. Please also check out the webpage at www.rumbero.org/wmlive for some more information and some screenshots. As always, any thoughts and feedback are very welcome! Thanks a lot!
