Madbox : liveUsb / toram (Page 1 of 9)

could you give us (me) a little "how to" do our own live-cd?

Yes, thank you - I'll give it a try maybe tomorrow (now I have to go to sleep - I've been up for almost 20h)

Oh and I've run your distro on my eeepc, but the keyboard map wasn't qwerty

be (belgium) and fr (french) keyboard are AZERTY .. not  QWERTY.  So change it at boot time ( F2 - other options =>   console-setup/layoutcode=en  )
You can also extract files from ISO , modify menu ( boot/grub/menu.lst ) and recreate a new iso with your boot option ..

Thanks 

@ anonymous :  I'm never  at ease with Fedora but I really like his look'n feel ( more than ubuntu ) 

Ok, so I've stayed up a whole night (from 2am) and the first method - link to livecd - gives me an error when booting from the new livecd - error 217 kernel panik - bleee.

I think I did what it was said in the manual, but since I'd only 2or3 hours of sleep I'm not sure

Any idea what to do with that error?

About your iso - using setxkbmap pl I changed keyboard to qwerty ... in terminal

Is there a way to change windows manager, because I'm a (new) big fan of awesome windows manager and to be honest I'm quite interesed in a way your toram distro will work will that lighting powered wm

Using logout is imposible to change windows manager (and I don't know the password, or my brain is so useless today so I can't think of any).

also a litte of topic - does anyone know how to uninstall openbox from #! ?
sudo apt-get remove/purge openbox gives me somethnig like this whan I want to update my system...

The OS works ok, I can install apps, but every time I want to update I get what is above Any idea how to remove openbox form #! "the good way" Or how to fix that update error? I really don't need it, since I'm using awesome wm.

sorry for of topic... learnig, learnig, learnig

Thanks. I love to make my own little linux distro with Awesome

But... yeah there is always "but"...

Every time I try to install mini-ubuntu or Arch or Debian on my SD card I can't boot the system. I don't know where to place Grub at SD card, so it'll boot the system.

Any idea? Below is fdisk -l of my eeepc

Grub should be on hd0,0 hd0,1 hd1,0 ....

Thanks. Hope it will work with ubuntu-mini because it doesn't - hell knows why - work with debian and arch (I always get an error 21 or 17). God only knows how I hate those errors

Well, in virtualbox everything is ok, but in real life with sd, I can boot into mini-ubuntu, but it freezes with a commend "busybox  something something" ... in virtualbox my minisystem starts with about 45-50MB in ram which is awesome but I can't get the iso out of VB (I don't know why but remastersys makes an iso that while booting also says "busybox.... bla bla bla".

So... I'm back with #!-awesome

Looks good so far. very stable, seems more like a beta than alpha :D do you have an ETA for the beta?
