-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Rodolfo,
thanks a lot for your invaluable remarks! They are very welcome! :) While you are absolutely right with all your comments, please just consider my attempt as a rough draft to create an actually working WMaker Live CD. If this thing is expected to go somewhere in the future, i guess it should be started from scratch in a much cleaner implementation, in order to clean up the current mess it is now. Just consider this mess as a draft and a means for creative brainstorming. Your joke regarding my distribution choice is well received from my side: I would have preferred to rather base this on Debian, which is my favorite distribution since more than 15 years, especially since i was affiliated with Debian being the principal author of the localepurge package (see packages.debian.org/sid/localepurge). But the existing Ubuntu Live CD provided a much easier and faster means to the end. The available Ubuntu options made it much easier way to create a WMaker Live CD without needing to start from scratch. The main component in this endeavor is not really my lamentable scripting attempts, but rather the nice UCK utility, without which all this would have been out of reach of my own technical possibilities. In fact, for me, Ubuntu is just another Debian variation, and i would much prefer to base this project on standard Debian in the future. The packages included in wmlive-extra could actually be omitted, but as these are not part of the upstream Ubuntu repositories, i have included them for my own ISO creation convenience. This could probably be easily replaced by switching to another up to date wmaker debian repository like Martin's or maybe even debian/testing (if dependencies don't get in the way). The archive wmlive-data is a mixed beast, as it is composed of various preconfigurations for different programs (gnome, firefox plus addons, thunderbird plus addons, mc, etc.), which i prefer to be done already in advance for my very own selfish practical requirements, and all those icons which are expected by the supplied wmaker configuration. In the long run, this should go into an external package, and the wmaker preconfiguration should be limited to a well defined icon set of the actually required pixmaps. This would also help to reduce storage requirements of the ISO image contents. Yes, all the /usr/local and config stuff should eventually be merged into and managed with a proper Debian package, but this is something still left for the future. Up until now, not a single person seems to have bothered to download one of the ISO images i provide via bittorrent. It would be nice if some people could download and actually run it, in order to see and understand what my humble attempts actually try to accomplish. Only real seeing is true believing. ;) Thanks a lot!
