Remastered version of Knoppix 4.0.2 available

[tr]

Hi,

new remastered localized version of Knoppix 4.0.2 CD is avaliable for download from
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/images/SuomiKnoppix/

This boot in finnish by default but you can boot it also in english

boot: linux lang=us

Keytable is fi.kbd but you find '=' from us keyboard 'Shift 0'. Only english, finnish and swedish locales are included.

I want to share this with you because it can help someone in remastering process - especially in localization. If you like this, you can make your own remastered version much easier as from original Knoppix version. And to help you - I have included Fabian Franz' menu based scripts in this version. Just start remastering by knoppix-remaster.

I have got much room for new programs by deleting kde-i18n-* packages other than english and finnish. Also removing openoffice.org-de-en and replacing it with Debian packages gave more space in CD.

Please, check that it is legal in your country to include some libaries as libdvdcss2 or w32codecs, if you would like to make a remastered version of this and share it further.

Enjoy

Hi tr

Thanks for your remastered version. I have already tested beta version and works great. Sure, first thing i have to do, is removing localepurge, because i have to install my language support.
So, my first questions is how to configure and not remove localepurge?

How did you change boot image?

What do you mean with this?

Also removing openoffice.org-de-en and replacing it with Debian packages gave more space in CD.

One more question. I have to make small distro (max 400 MB). Can you suggest me, which packages can i remove?

Enough for now I have to dl latest version.

regards

dpkg-reconfigure localepurge

Also removing openoffice.org-de-en and replacing it with Debian packages gave more space in CD.

This means that the openoffice.org-de-en package supplied by Klaus Knopper is not a official Debian built package. tr replaced the non-Debian oo.org with thr Debian oo.org.

You must ponder it yourself. But listing packages in descending order would help you:

dpkg-awk "Status: .* installed$" -- Package Installed-Size| awk '{print $2}' | egrep -v '^$' | xargs -n2 echo | perl -pe 's/(\S+)\s(\S+)/$2 $1/' | sort -rg | less

If you would like to take listing in a file, replace | less at the end with: > packages.

or same little quicker with dpkg-query:

  dpkg-query --showformat='${Installed-Size}/${Package}/${Status}\n' -W |
  awk '$3~/ installed$/ {NF=2;print}' FS=/ |
  sort -nr | less

If you would like to take listing in a file, replace | less at the end with: > packages.
