Madbox : liveUsb / toram (Page 3 of 12)

Well, its OK. (Really, it happens random)

Merci.

more fantastic work ADcomp You have a great set of iso's to choose from at the moment

I may give it a try. I run xbmc on my media center, and once I get my 2TB drive back was going to upgrade to karmic anyway. Looks good

ADcomp, you had a marvelous idea!    I would install, if possible, Madbox/xbmc on a little bootable partition on my multimedia portable hard disk. It is exactly what i was looking for this purpose.
Seems to work fine till now. On live, I installed adeskbar on it to manage some little other tricks I installed. Can I use Ubiquity?

...ehm... perhaps little too soon, but why dont you consider to make a simple alternative desktop - a crunchbang/lite/notebookremix,for example.
Some friends said - WOW, this is a graphical masterpiece, I want it for my notebook!

Just a little question, In Madbox opening xfburn causes a -failed to initialize gtstreamer transcoder-. Is it possible to bypass this message?
And, in xbmc/madbox, how can I recover a minimized window?

Thanks in advance

Hi ADcomp,

as always your work looks beautiful, I am actually sure it is fantastic but....
i tried to download the xbmc version, but the download keeps getting disconnected, so I tried to experiment with wget....
after finding out that i could use -c to resume a broken download i managed to get to approx. 40 % but now I get error 403...

crunchbang@crunchbang:/media/disk/_____Others____/Downloads$ wget -c http://download.tuxfamily.org/madbox/ma … 1-i386.iso

thanks

@ mcarni : maybe server is slowdown ( too many users downloading madbox ?  )

@ Kuno : ok .. I add gstreamer next time.

@ andrea :  Ok .. simply press "ESC" to exit  minimal UI. 

If I have time , I try to make a package  ( and maybe add some GUI for config ? )

One question .. Why don't you install "Netbook Launcher" ( easy-to-use program/places/favourites launcher of the Ubuntu Netbook Remix ) ?
It has a good  look'n feel ( more than mine ).. I tried it sometime ago and the new release looks even better.

Time is not waste when you code for linux users    .. I can't do it before next week but It's on roadmap.

I thinking about a not lite madbox/xfce release ( 553M ) .. So more app.  :

    - galculator
    - screenshot
    - terminal
    - thunar
    - xarchiver
    - geany

    - gimp

    - xscreensaver

More clean ( new theme, lost blue color ) .. looks like #! xfce 

Nice, ADComp! I'm eager to try your next xfce release.. but what about openbox, don't tell me you're ditching it?

So .. New Project Started   : #  pythongtk-crunchbanglitenotebookremix

Hello ..

yes and no .. I use xfce as main desktop and openbox for 'extra/special' desktop. Because xfce has a all-in-one config ( composite , settings , ..  ) and well , It works fine for me
