Cit livecd: msg#00015

cms.citadel.devel

Subject: Cit livecd

For people who don't want to mess with configuring a Linux system, but want to run Cit/UX, I took it upon myself (since I've had two people express interest in such) to get a livecd pre-installed Linux/Citadel system going.

A .iso file for version 1.0 of this exists, but that was an extremely customized version and not generically applicable.  Version 2.0 (or maybe I should call this one 1.1 since the changes aren't all that major) is simply a generalized modification to that.

The Linux underpinnings are something of a hybrid, I've taken chunks I think work best for this from a range of distros.  It uses .rpms for package install, with Synaptic for the frontend.  I'd like to shift to Smart as it seems to have better features, but that's going to take a bit of work to switch. 

Should have the new .iso out by morning, minus the stuff I put into 1.0 specifically for what Harry said he wanted back in August and have something anyone can toss into a CD-ROM drive, boot and on a single click have a working Cit system.  Of course they'll need to name their installation and create any local rooms, that sort of thing, but it'll create a basic working groupware/bbs install.
