Elive
installed and updated Elive install to enjoin Enlightenment
Description
1. What does the appliance do:
Elive is an live CD from http://www.elivecd.org/ which has
the target to bring the Enlightenment Windowmanager or
Desktopshell to the world.
So this appliance will show you, how the hdd-install looks
like. It is an Debian but a customised one, mostly from
the Elive team, some from me by the elpanel.
If you would use it daily, add a new hdd, because the 2,5Gb /
is realy used by the large amount installed packages.
This appliance is another way to show how a linux desktop
can feel E-flavored. The time comes nearer when E17 will be
released, here you can test a preview from CVS.
If you need other vmware-tools (Workstation 5.5 are installed) install
them and don't forget to run /root/vmware-tools-any-update1/runme.pl
before executing vmware-config-tools.pl
2. How was the appliance built:
At first a made the slowly install of the live CD to the HDD.
I updatet nearly everything after reboot and installed many new
packages.
After that I rebooted from the liveCD and resizes the hdd by copy
the content to a new virtual disk.
Reboot the appliance again and customis the menu's you get with
the mouse. I removed some vmware needles goodies from the Desk like
battery and CPU Frequence monitoring.
At last I fixed the vmware-tools fails, by adding vmware-tools-any-update1 to the appliance, now vmware-tools for Workstation 5.5 are configured.
3. How to start and documentation:
Power on the appliance and feel the Enlightenment (eyecandy isn't a feature).
