Ok, maybe I'm not up to the challenge of being the guinea pig and testing all of your different ISOs, seeing as I've only switched to Windows. But I'm a quick learner, and think that I want to help you guys test all of the DSL releases. But I also want to know if you guys can make a custom-tailored ISO/disk which would have everything I want on my system, which includes:
-Intel Pro Wireless 2011 PCMCIA card drivers (this is the MOST important thing to me, and there are too many steps for my windows brain to comprehend)
<--I would like the airsnort and intel card to be able to work together, first find a network and it's wep code, and then enter the wep code in myself and acces the network -->
-Airsnort (if it works with the card above, if not, then airhog, or whatever the other one was, if it works)
-Firefox 1.0
-"gaim" (from your screenshot) or some other AIM service that works with my card
-Thunderbird
-Pretty-good mp3 player (playlists would be nice, but I can settle for another without it, but has easy, intuitive song-searches)
-Video Player (not important at all)
-C++ compiler (I'd rate this at pretty darned important, as I'm learning C++ programming as a hobby)
-Torc (the racing car game)(optional)
-A decent word processor (which will be able to print through a network)
-a photo view( and/or editor)
-WINE (I think this would be nice, 'cause then I could take counter-strike out for a spin)
-and any other *useful* stuff out there
I have a cable modem connection, with a wireless router, which my dad has set the WEP code on one computer (windows only), but I forgot what he told me to put in on my Linux machine, and at the moment, he's in Japan.
I have plenty of CD-Rs should I happen to need to burn multiple copies of DSL. I don't truly care what happens to my laptop that I am testing this on, as long as I am still able to use if by reinstalling everything. I have nothing of any value or irreplaceable, so I say, what the heck. Oh yeah, and any technical console commands, I really don't know, so you'll have to write them out for me.
I hope that you'll take my offer up, 'cause I REALLY don't want to go to buggy 'ol slobutt windows just because it runs the minimal stuff I need.
Thanks,
Chris
