most of the s/w comes in mdk9.2. other can be easily installed
So, it's compiling source rpms, right? Finding all the source RPM dependencies etc.....
Installing all the development packages needed, etc....
lately you can find anything precompiled and packaged into rpms. you dont need to recompile (most of the times anyway).
just way a week or so and some sucker will do the job for you.
you can also pack the released binaries from that project (i did it from thunderbird last week) into rpm. again no need to recompile.
and if you want to develop application, most of the times you will have installed the devel packages anyway (isnt it true most of the times?)
what do yu mean slow?Management:urpmi?
APT based, so I can upgrade just about everything but the kernel, on-line.
Never have to reinstall/upgrade the OS offline.
anyway, you can use apt-get in mdk, it will use urpmi database.
I was using urpmi, it is nice, but it's much slower then APT and less flexible, just my feeling, I didn't compare every feature and timed it.
the slowness may come from the network connection (i always use the cd's no online medias)
i must admit i had to reformat the distro each time i upgraded (for example reiserfs died on me).do what i did a couple of times:to
updates the medias and update all rpms (worked from 8.1 to 9.0, and 9.2rc2
9.2 "final")I did it once or twice, I got my system messed up so good that I had to reformat and install from scratch.
I had rpms from both distributions, with libraries from both and the worse thing configuration files from both, it did not managed to upgrade something because of some third party rpms I had and from there it was just downhill.
however, i am using a 9.1 with several rpms from 9.1.
i also compile s/w on the 9.1 distro i have and have no problems.
i think the idea is to use the "lower rpms" (kernel glibc boot-scipts) from the latest distro, and "high level rpms" (kdevelop, mozilla) from anyone that runs.
yes, but it depends on user space scripts also. mdk and knopix have the best support out of the box (thats what i heard, i cannot comment since i have no usb device).So do I have to compile everything and make a tar file distro?you can use stage 3. no compilation needed.
no h/w autodetection. usb disk on key is not automagically mounted.
Doesn't hotplug and a custom kernel solve it?
it looks like it's gonna be "debian based on rpms". i have high hopes for it.can anyone comment on fedora?Fedora is at the unstable stage and it's not much different then RH, as much as I understand.
anyway to your question, i think you are looking for debian, dont run away, it will get you anyway eventually.
i have the same doubths you have lately, if you find this magic distro do tell me. (mandrake is having a lots a problems lately)
