Hello all, I have been following gnewsense for a short time and I must say that the project really appeals to me. I have installed it on my older desktop and intend to move to it as my main distro soon. But I digress...
I think that part of the misunderstanding about the amount of hard disk space needed, is in the fact that there is no "installation" section to the web site. Installing from a live cd is usually a trivial affair, but people will often check the website for install information anyway. This is where the "create you own distro" section causes some confusion as it could be interpreted as "create your own distro to run gnewsense on your computer" or in other words "install gnewsense". (Although I think it is pretty clear if you pay attention to what you read!) I think maybe a small install howto (I see one is coming to the wiki, but maybe link it from the home page too?) and some minor changes to the "create your own distro" page to make the purpose clearer should do the trick. I may be stating the obvious, but I thought i would anyway because as a relative newcomer to gnu/Linux I still religiously read software installation guides even though I am quite familiar with the process. Anyway thanks for a great "free as in freedom" distro - I for one am sold! Also I hope my comments aren't too unwelcome, I couldn't help myself because I think gnewsense is great and had to give my 2 cents! Cheers, Lee _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
