Sorry about the doublepost, but I thought this was bump worthy. First successful boot into gnome today, both in an emulator and off of a usb stick. We have liftoff I can now start work on adding in important packages, customizing the graphics and more
Got to fix a few things that I accidentally broke while trying to rearrange my stuff to save space, but as soon as I do I'll post an iso for you to use Keep in mind at this stange you wont get anything other then a command line with really basic stuff.
I'll take a copy of the ISO. How large is it. I would liek it to fit onto one of my cheep 700mb disks uinstead of the more expensive 2.5 gb disks
Well when it's done it should be able to fit with some room. Right now, without anything other then the most basic stuff it's ~150MB I'll build you a copy if you want to run it from a virtual machine or something
Haha, I liked it too But I decided I needed another one of me I'm currently devoting my free time to OmnimagaOS so I might not get back to this for a while, but it's still on my list of things to work on, I don't plan on cancelling it anytime at all
I'm going to go for Gnome3 and if anybody doens't like gnome-shell (which there will be a bunch of you) I'm going to probably have fallback enabled by default. Ok, I've been working on the actual OS itself, and I have a bootable iso now It boots up and everything Right now it's very basic and I don't have any of the software that the OS I'm developing it in (which is going to be the template) has yet except for some basics. If Anybody wants the iso's let me know and I'll start uploading all the stable versions I have somewhere.
Sorry Eeems, but I really want to help, and the 'spam' (which I hid in a spoiler) was just to show how incredibly good Torvalds is at flaming.
The stuff outside was a little spammy too, which is the stuff I was mainly talking about.
Hmm, seems we have competition for making a distro I'm also working on a re-vamping of OmnimagaOS based off of Arch ( Juju is still probably working on his own as well )
Anyone know how to build a distro? I need a good skeleton.

I refuse to use GNOme. REALLY. Gnome: me no use. It is beautiful, but KDE is too and KDE has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more functions.KDEKDEKDEKDEKDE
KDE vs Gnome: some quotes from Linus:
This 'users are idiots
If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it
Gnome is a disease
but you can't actually do what you WANT to do. And that's *bad*. That's *really* bad. It's actually much worse than being hard to use to begin with, in many ways.
Why the hell do you have to point to bogus programs that don't actually do what I want? I *know* what I want. I *know* gnome doesn't support it. How do I know? I've used it. I looked at the code. I talked to the original author of the code. The author, and the code, all agree: gnome doesn't do what I want."
It's a disease, I tell you. The apparent inability to accept the fact that we're not all a uniform gray paste.
AND THEN
Linus Torvalds has switched to GNOME
WAAAH, ok, gnome then (fun, switched within ten minutes LOL LOL)
I vote for LXDE
LEMMEHELPPLEASE?
AAAH PLEASE?
Please try to keep your posts less spammy. Thank you.
Well quotes are actually a module, so it doesn't have to be installed. @Deep Thought: Hopefully you can figure out a way to modify this to your needs, if you want to play with the source let me know ( I compress the released version a little )
Oh and before I forget, thanks to Albert for the install script
EDIT: oh and if you want to see it in action go check out #IRP on irc.omnimaga.org
quotes module: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/763272/ircbot/modules/quotes !quote [<integer>] - returns a random quote or a specific quote !addquote <quote> - adds a quote to the database !removequote <integer> - removes the quote at the integer !countquotes - returns how many quotes there are in the database
