Project Leader

I could be wrong but I feel that we could benefit from having an official project leader. :) Even though we all want to do away with an autocratic system, it might be smart to elect a project leader who would be sort of our BDFL except it would be for the *Life of a given release*. For each release ...

Re: Name

Salix (it's the latin name for the willow tree) (org/net/com/eu are taken) I like it! I think we should go with it! salixos.org is not taken and we could definitely use it. SALIX could even be an acronym for Simple A***** LInuX (still don't know what the A would stand for :D) and we could have a li...

Re: New LiloFix

You may want to take a look how the very Debian-oriented grub2 code is doing this. Of course the list of initrds must be extended to support other distros than debian or suse. There's also a nice tools called os-prober which comes from debian, but zw has a package for it already. It can be used to ...

Re: New LiloFix

Thanks for this very thorough test + report... 1. It doesn't respect settings already present in lilo.conf. My append line got replaced and timeout changed. I think it would be better if it tried to take these options from the existing lilo.conf first. vga mode stayed the same, but maybe I'm just lu...

Re: Some system tools..

Also, thorsten modified clockconfig & root terminal. These modifications will be included in a new test package soon. Last point... if we modify these tools (as we are) we should probably fork the name as well, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion (and we should also contact JP/Zenwalk to inf...

Re: Some system tools..

It seems that latest gdm (and xorg?) now uses hal to set up the keyboard & I had to use the following hack to have gdm finally recognize my French keyboard.

I will add this hal setting to keyboardconfig.

http://zenlive.linuxish.net/people/akuna/zenlive-tools/lilofix/testing/lilofix-20090630-noarch-plb.tgz I mainly adapted it for working from Slackware as well as from Zenwalk. It will now take the Lilo menu of the first partition you choose, if the first partition on your lilo menu is Zenwalk, you wi...

Some system tools..

To get us somewhat started with gui system tools, II skimmed through zenwalk systemtools, removed zenpanel & only kept these tools which are working with very little or no changes: clockconfig -> no change so far userconfig -> added power to the added groups & fixed some missing icons. keybo...
