should i just use unetbootin to create a live usb? any way to mkake it persistent? i really like slitaz and the ability to save changes. mainly to tweek then let it be.

i will give madbox a try this weekend.

How do you make oblogout look like that?

Hello ..

@craigh : take a look  http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ut-script/

@skewed :
-  I never try wicd with wifi/wep .. so I don't know where is the problem.
-  For video/mplayer , try with an other video output ( vo ) .. maybe something like that :  mplayer -vo xv my_video.ext 

I updated image iso : there is nothing really to get excited about this but lets take a look at the list of changes ..

+ ubiquity ( simple graphical live CD installer )
+ pysdm ( a PyGTK Storage Device Manager )
+ w32codecs,  libdvdcss2, mozilla-mplayer ( plugin for firefox )
+ tools :  testdisk , ddrescue , mdadm, dvd+rw-tools ,smartmontools , partimage ,  inxi , qemu ...

~ 380 Mo ..  image iso is being uploaded

Hi, Adcomp!

Thank's so much! Madbox 9.04 and 9.10.01 running from live-usb would freeze on my desktop-machines (Athlon XP; Nforce2-Chipset, Nvidia-Graphics...) about 5 seconds after entering the desktop. No more mouse, no keyboard, nothing.

Now 9.10.02 just works like a charm! Have meanwhile installed it on harddisk(s), and am beginning to crunchify...

One small glitch: I choose autologin on install, but after reboot was greated by slim with the default username "madbox". Had to manually edit the default user in the slim.conf.
Second glitch: Shutdown and reboot from oblogout didn't work after harddisk-install. Added this line to /etc/sudoers: "USER ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot". Now it's working. EDIT: This didn't really work as i thought. For a working solution look on page 4 of thhis thread!

Otherwise no probs at all till now.  Seeing the comments on karmic in the Cruchbang 9.10 - thread this just makes me (happy!)

EDIT: Upgrading the "shared-mime-info" package from 0.60-2 to 0.70 breaks all the file-associations in PCManFm. Downgrading to 0.60 fixed that problem. Gdebi complained about not beeing able to downgrade, so i had to install the XFE - Filemanager, which has a builtin install-option for debs. Thunar by the way,  is not affected by this upgrade issue...

Hello ,

Autologin is for gdm and I don't know how to do same for slim after install ..

Yes ,  I know .. But ubiquity modify /etc/sudoers after install. So my change doesn't work ..

Yes , It's a bug .. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/444962

Thanks for your feedback

Hi anonymous,

  yes , I know .. autologin is already working but I don't know how to change username in slim.conf with ubiquity ( when install ). So user have to do it 'by hand' after install ..

^ Nice work ADComp. My first tests in a virtualbox are very encouraging

I made a live usb with unetbootin and it worked very well, I love the look, it was fast but I didn't found out how to activate my wireless card...

Keep the work going!

ADcomp, very nice MadBox, running it on my EeePC. Also quite impressed with your XFCE version but I prefer the Openbox better! Still, looking forward to check your next XFCE version. Keep it up, seems very well balanced and fine tuned.

My suggestion: include the "python-software-properties" software package pre-installed so that we can use the karmic "add-apt-repository" command out of the box.

Cool, ADcomp. I will test as soon as I finish the download. If I may I would like to make a small suggestion, try to update the iso in the first post, so we know it's the latest (I started to download the file twice before downloading the last one: D)
