[blag-whereto] Back to Action

[Abdur-Rahman Morgan]

Good Day All,

Last week I struggled with trying to create an Alpha CD using revisor. 
That did not go to well. Revisor stuck at trying to configure the CD, so 
I moved forward and used the livecd-tools instead. I was successful in 
using the livecd-tools to create several live iso's but ran into a 
problem with the size of the CD's which all came close to being about 
1GB in size. Fortunately, I was able to simply dd the iso onto my flash 
drive an viola! I had a live iso with all the applications that were 
discussed in the forum. It's my goal this week to have an iso to test 
this week to demonstrate how the next release of BLAG will look like 
after having fun last week playing with kickstart files, getting 
frustrated and just turning off my notebook for two days to think about 
how all these tools really work and to adhere to some type of process of 
creating a cd that would boot to X, log the user in automatically and 
present an option to install. This will not be a reflection of anything 
different from the regular F12 CD with some of the applications that 
were discussed, but I hope it can be a start to have a solid kickstart 
file with the applications we want on a single CD. Some configuration 
will be needed to remove Fedora branding and the installation of IceCat 
to replace Firefox and the linux-libre kernel to replace the default 
fedora kernel and other changed to really blagify F12 to what will 
become BLAG's next release. In anycase, I hope that everyone had a good 
week and I'll see you all on IRC during the week. Please let me know 
what discussions I missed and I'll catch up with you al throughout the week.
