A way to detect and mount swap partitions would be nice.
Will do.
Xorg 7 *still* doesn't have the the updated via driver for my laptop. Detection went properly, but I'm forced to use VESA (slow!). This isn't a livecd bug, and I don't know if using the custom driver code that I used previously would break other via's, but FWIW, my video is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] Integrated Video (rev 01) At least now I know that I have to grab non-xorg CVS code from the guys who wrote the driver (which still didn't work quite right last time I tried it).
I hope that this will sort itself out in a few days when Xorg 7.1 comes out. Yes, this breaks the earlier plan to include proprietary NVidia (needed for CRT displays on DVI) and ATI (looks like never really needed) drivers.
I noticed the iso size has grown considerably so I hesitate to request this, but gaim seems like it would be very useful if someone had only one computer and had to use the livecd for the rather long build process. Unfortunately, I've never seen gaim work right with nss/nspr and it didn't this time, either, so MSN would either be unsupported or GnuTLS would be needed. Probably not worth it since I've not seen anyone else request gaim.
I use GAIM a lot, so the wish is accepted.
On the flip side, is there anything that can be trimmed down? Samba comes to mind, but it's probably just my inability to see its need. Or is there perhaps the possibility of releasing a src and nosrc version of the CD?
I did exactly this for UTF-8 unofficial CDs.
When setting up the console there was a note that I would lose bright colors if I used LatArCyrHeb-16. I've been using that terminal font for a few months and can say that bright works in every situation I've seen.
That's because you use vesafb.
There is no kicker (for lack of a better word) on the panel. Right-click access to applications works, though, but I'm thinking of people who aren't familiar with Xfce.
Yes, I can add this menu to XFCE panel. But, this will add lines to already-insane cleanup-panel.pl script. OTOH, in the beta version of XFCE, there is no need to clean up the panel, and the XFCE menu button is there by default. The only obvious bug is that nobody has written tips of the day, so the welcome dialog displays nothing (but it is easy to disable this dialog). Of course, there may be other bugs hiding.
