48 megs with X

[Vick]

Will be very cool to have (how2) to start working with Modularity, like (how to install KDE and make it auto start...) things like that…
I don’t know how to install KDE and other things like that… but I can help by contributing and releasing a translation in French from an English HOW2 version!
What you think
Can sum buddy help

Great!!! I'm working on the How-to modify Modularity and the scripts. Using ths scripts you could add software to the Model-k iso (sort of) and remaster a disk to look it you want. Once I have the Model-K iso stable I will be building a place on the website for this type of contributions. Should be in the next few weeks.

Thanks again,
Avid

Okay, update..
Right now I got it sitting at 49 megs with the following added goodies:
Busybox
ftp
ssh/scp
naim an AOL instant messaging client
Worker - a very nice and very small file manager

I hacked together a little routine where X is configured before it is launched -- nothing fancy. It loads up a basic script in Vi where you uncomment the resolution you want. After you choose and close vi the X fires up.

I'd like to add a very small email client.

This is sort of becoming a pet project, I'm looking for a homepage.

yes, get it hosted somewhere for download sourceforge could work for that...

[John]

Just a quick note, I ended up using XFmail. It's a small gui client with low dependencies.

if you just mean webpage, feel free to make a page on the Wiki,
if you're talking about hosting an iso, can't help at this stage. ( my HD is almost full )

[John]

Thanks the offer, but I think I am going to break down and buy a domain to host it on. Until then here is a teaser...

I got a domain, DamnSmallLinux.org, there should be something up there in a few days.

Here is a new screenshot that shows off most of the better X apps. It took several hours of hacking at the base to make room for the word processor and XMMS. The ISO is sitting right at 50 megabytes.

After the site is built I'll try to get the iso into Ibiblio's ftp repository.

Hi,
Okay, I have the site up and running at:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
And the iso at:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribu...nsmall-0.1.iso

Let me know what you like and dislike about it. When you type startx you'll be thrown into Vi to uncomment the resolution you want.

The site is moving to a different server some time in the next 24 hours. Hopefully, no one will notice.
