Fit-PC2 optimized Kiwilinux 9.04 iso available

[startit_ltd]

Dear Guys,

I made a Kiwilinux 9.04 remaster iso some weeks ago to get a fresh, customized new system is some minutes.

KiwiLinux: this is a Ubuntu 9.04, with extra repositories, improved Hungarian/Romanian support, English also available.

Key features of this remaster:
* Full Ubuntu 9.04 compatible
* Includes the fit-pc2 kernel and all drivers and mplayer-vaapi
* Includes the necessary lines for fit-pc2, chromium, virtualbox-3.0 in sources.list
* Includes the xorg.conf
* No need to customize the installation, because everything already customized.
* Probably DVD-RW is required instead of CDRW, due to the size of the image (>800MB).

Tested:
* I used this iso image to create a bootable 2GB pendrive.

Download here:

Please test it and tell me your opinion.

Ciao,
István

Hi !

I have a question, with this distro how much space is needed on disk ?

Thanks

[startit_ltd]

Less than 4GB I guess. This kiwi does not contain more packages, but fresh ones.
Cheers,

I'm a WinXP user but I would really like to try this Linux distro out. It sounds interesting but what to do with the .iso?

I tried burning a DVD but my burner software tells me this compilation needs a CD. There is not enough space on a CD.

Can you please change it so I can burn it on a DVD?

Also can you please tell me how to run it from a USB-stick?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Aura,

Thank you for your response!
First, you should read this to know, how to write out an ISO file under windows:
http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm

To "burn" an iso into a usb pendrive, check this out:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

I will check what really needed a CD or a DVD. I do not use DVD or CD disks in general, so, I recommend to use a pendrive instead.

Cheers,
István

does your kiwilinux has opengl drivers?
I was not able to display well opengl applications in wxp.
Is there any update for your customized kiwi?
is there wine preinstalled?
it's very nice to have this anyway thanks!

[startit_ltd]

Dear gashiss,
The opengl is not so strong in fit-pc2.
In winxp I used an old opengl game called max payne 2.
You can install kiwi 9.04 yourself easily just follow the 9.04 install manual.

I had a problem with the customization process, so, I remove the iso, sorry about that.
Anyway, I still use this kiwi 9.04, with wine, even virtualbox installed.
Cheers,
István

What did you used to build up your custom livecd?

I tried using 'remastersys -dist' in ubuntu 9.10 still the custom fit-pc2 drivers & kernel got out of the outputed ISO...

[startit_ltd]

I used the same tool as you, but there was something wrong.
If I will have some time, I plan to create ISO from 9.10.
Maybe some eye-candy tool will be used on it.

I provide to my customers some fsarchiver disk images... this also need more freetime or donate

HEW? What was wrong? Wasn't it the good --option ?


Can you please explain us how did you make your custom livecds with embedded fitpc2 drivers? Or at least give us a link?
