Morphix is a Knoppix that can be morphed (changed). It comes with an GUI installer that doesn't ask too many questions. After install, you can add packages. Then you can also create an ISO from your install and burn it into CD. That's what Morphix is all about. Standard things like Mozilla and Oppenoffice are there too. > Second, if we go for a debian-based > distro (not the knoppix type) installation is not that user friendly > compared to redhat unless we would like to create another installer. I don't know about Knoppix but Morphix looks like a Mac somehow. Almost as desktop oriented as RedHat 9. > But still, this is a good idea. I'm wondering why it seems people at RedHat & Mandrake don't know there is Morphix. And people at Knoppix seem to don't know about Morphix. And some people at Morphix seem to not know about LTSP. I'll probably make a Morphix Module with LTSP kung wala pa. With a PIV 2.8Ghz with 768MB and 7200RPM Drive, it takes about 3/4 hour to decompress the cloop module, and half-hours to recompress the module (1.2GB->400MB), another half hour to make an ISO of it. Then another 20 minutes to burn it in a 4x CDRW Disc that i borrowed :) Pero at least you can sleep while waiting :) and figure out the differences between the ISO and your harddisk version. Other wishe: 1. Hope it mounts C, D, E automatically and places shortcuts in the desktop (like DemoLinux 3.0). Hope Bayanihan Linux focuses on things that weren't done yet. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
