New dailybuilds are currently landing:

Please test and propose improvements if needed so that the coming alpha
release is close to perfection!

The main changes are the following:

* The web browser homepage is not our website anymore but a dedicated
page showing interesting websites that match the philosophy of libre
software [1]. This homepage needs translation on Transifex [2] and needs
to put the relevant links for your language in a dedicated page of Spip
[3].

* Each CD now contains all the variants of the main language (fr_BE,
fr_CA, etc., for the French CD). This will later allow users to easily
generate a CD with a custom language variant.

* New system administration tools to set the keyboard layout, the date
and time, the timezone and the language. Note that the language tool
currently only proposes the languages of those for which some
translations are available. As useless translations are removed while
building a CD, you'll find only the language variants of the CD language
and the en_US that is kept on every CD. In the future I plan to build a
multilingual DVD that will propose all the DDL languages. It is also
possible to start the language tool from the command line with an option
that cancel language filtering and shows up to 240 languages and
variants!

* Several fixes with the installer. It should now work in almost every
case!

* Once installed on disk, administration tools now require to enter the
administrator password. They were asking the password of the DDL user
“tux” before, but this user looses its administrative rights when
installing DDL on disk.
