DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: new distro based on DSL
have a look at this mini (ish) distro
http://luitlinux.sarovar.org/
Its 65mb so a bit too big for a 50mb credit card CDR
but its got abiword and Gimp and Xfce!
Any chance of fitting these into DSL and keep it under 50mb?
I also notice that Flonix now uses Icewm as its shell instead of fluxbox and this is also only 65mb with a good little multimedia centre and TV card detection as well!
oh how I wish those creditcard CDR's where bigger than 50mb!
I tried to determine if it has MozillaFirebird built-in, probably not, with Gimp included. Also, he does not have a user board like this one yet, very valuable to us
DSL users to discuss issues, etc.
I'll second that 
This user board is one of DSL greatest assets.
Right I've had a look.....imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Why replace fluxbox?
Look at all those task bars on the screen shots <shudder>
I've tried xfce in the past as well as windowmaker and waimea but flux is still the best
(though if you want minimal look at scrudgeware )
Would prefer abiword to ted and would like the gimp though
Still I've lead a sheltered life and never seen a biz sized cd, let alone know what to do with it.......
I have downloaded the luitlinux-0.2.iso but have to go to the store to get more
cd-r disks to burn it. I'll let you know if the thing runs. The developer said it is for
686 boxes, and I have only one of those, with dual processors, that I will test it
on. I'll try and run one of my 0.6.1 restores on it if I cannot get wvdial working on luitlinux. I need wvdial with my modem...
I am mostly interested in distros with Foxfire and good dial up support, and use
0.5.3.1 on the laptop I am on now. I have Opera 6.12 and Mozillafirebird on it,
restored by a USB stick. I boot with a boot floppy, and have /knoppix on /dev/hda1 per my http://www.angelfire.com/ms/telegram/general_howto

I may try something like that setup with this luitlinux, to see what it can do.

Everyone needs to know I am not jumping ship in checking out luitlinux,
my examination of it is for "educational purposes" , as I look forward to the
next release of DSL.
