Hi all, Cybermohalla labs is working on a custom desktop install cd for Kubuntu (Oct 2006 release codename edgy eft) with the following changes:
0. hi_IN-UTF8 locale installed and selected by default. this is a huge bug in kubuntu as by default the hi_IN locale is not a UTF-8 (unicode) one, rendering all non-english filenames as ????s 1. all german, french, spanish support removed 2. all korean/chinese/japanese fonts (AFAICS) removed (huge amount of space taken up by them) 3. hindi language packs installed incl. kde language pack 4. all non-local language files removed (from ar_SA to zh_TW (Arabic to Chinese)) . This includes man pages and docs in all languages that are not UK, US or Indian English or in Hindi (Unicode and non-Unicode) - this saved 30 mb! 4. edgy-updates universe, multiverse, plf repositories enabled (basically all the repositories that i have ever needed) 5. flashplayer 9 beta 6. lynx 7. acrobat reader, it's plugins and mozilla acrobat reader plugin 8. all multimedia codecs (incl. w32codecs) 9. dvd read support (including decss3) 10. gimp, gimp-python (gimp effect scripts), gimp-data-extras, gimp-svg, gimp-print 11. xbill ;) 12. nmap ;) ;) 13. ms truetype core fonts (verdana, times new roman etc.) 14. dhcp3 server 15. changed default timezone to IST 16. openssh-server (how could they have missed this out??!!??) 17. easy to use bolnagari phonetic hindi keymap 18. scim incl. scim-m17n (ready for skim bolnagari keymap) 19. most recent collection of Free & public domain fonts - incl. uttara, sanskrit2003, code2000 20. firefox 2 :) ( hope this fits ) 21. removed windows programs to save space (speedcrunch, firefox etc.) 22. mc 23. pinfo Don't have the bandwidth to upload the iso (when it's made), but will burn copies for anyone who comes (pref. with blank cds) to the Cybermohalla R&D lab in Sarvapriya Vihar - mail me if you are interested. This will probably be the base distro used in the cm labs - maybe this (or a variant) can be a candidate for the distribution to be used in the ISF media lab. cheers, karim _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
