I was limited on time and wasn't able to get the mini distro built to my liking so I moved to the full release version of Xubuntu and removed a bunch of stuff. The setup I'm using is a full install of Xubuntu on a dedicated computer then I use Remastersys to create the liveCD. My intent was to make it as user friendly as possible so the average Windows user would have no problem with it. <br><br>Eventually, I'll play around with the mini remix again and add more features, but for the time being, I run a couple of scripts and Chirp is updated and the CD is remastered.<br><br>If you would please, send me the
link to your remix and I'll play around with it. If you hit what I was trying to do, I may send a couple questions your way.<br><br>Bob<br><br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "simon@mungewell.org" <simon@mungewell.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> B Giff <bgiff158@yahoo.com>; Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, February 5, 2013 6:57 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD<br> </font> </div> <br>
> I just returned from a business trip where cell phone access was minimal<br>> and internet access was completely non-existent (so no, I didn't fall off<br>> the edge of the world). I am in the process of uploading a new version of<br>> the Chirp LiveCD. It should be available around 0200 GMT.<br>><br>> <a target="_blank" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/">sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/</a><br>><br>> The only change is that it contains the 4Feb2013 daily. If you are using<br>> the previous version on a USB drive or through a virtual machine and have<br>> updated using the Chirp updater, then you are already up to date with this<br>> release.<br><br>Hi Bob,<br>It's cool that you are doing this remix, but judging from the download<br>size you are working from the normal Xubuntu LiveCD (the website doesn't<br>say).<br><br>Are you aware of this
project?<br>http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/<br><br>It's a starting point for live CD, and this nice thing about it is that<br>it's only ~200MByte (albeit without GUI).<br><br>With XCFE included this bumps to around 425MBytes (I can send you a link<br>for an old remix I did for our LUG a few years ago if you like).<br><br>No complaint about your work, I just thought you might be interested.<br>Simon.<br><br><br><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
