ANNOUNCEMENT! NEW GoboLinux-release available!

Hi, gobo-users! I created a new VERY MINIMAL gobolinux-release, FROM
SCRATCH, via the descriptions in the LFS Book 7.4! Of course, modifyed it
as the approximately GoboLinux filesystem-hierarchy! (I am already
registered LFS-user, my ID is 24291 !)

This release only a PRE-ALPHA version! It is VERY-VERY NOT recommended for
non-expert users! But, it is USABLE. This release NOT an ISO fájl, just a
tarball. You should download it, unpack it to an empty partition, edit the
grub.cfg file, and install grub, or (recommended!) reboot to an existing
linux system, and update-grub!

THIS IS REALLY NOT DESIGNED FOR BEGINNER LINUX-USERS, JUST/ONLY FOR
“HACKERS”, OBSESSIVE GOBO-FANS, DEVELOPERS, EXPERT USERS, OR MINIMUM “POWER
USERS”!

Known bugs:

- After the reboot, need press an “Enter”, to the prompt. I not know, why
ever?

- The kernel is set to UTF-8 as default, the language set to hungarian, but
in the place of the ascended characters (for ekzample “ő”, “ű”) in the MC
visible just a “?”.

- The Udev not in the /Programs tree, but it is installed via the “regular”
method described in the LFS. Because I am absolutely/highly idiotic to the
Udev.

!!! Deficiencyes and non-tested functions:

- Even so the installed programs are in the /Programs tree (except the Udev
and the Linux kernel&headers), the boot script
​s​
in this release made in the LFS Book, NOT the conventional/traditional
GoboLinux-bootscripts. They are to me too complex, and I have to them not
enough knowled
​​
ge
​ yet.

- The “Compile” and “InstallPackage” not work yet, because this release
dont has “Wget” and other needed dependencies. But the PrepareProgram,
SymlinkProgram, and lot of other Gobo-scripts work
​s​
good.

- No GoboHide, sorry! I cannot write kernel-patches. A few days ago I sent
e-mail about this problem to Hisham & Lucas, but they sent me no
answer/reply.

- No graphical environment yet.

- Wifi not tested.

- Ethernet connection not tested, because I have dinamyc IP adresses, but
this release not have DHCPCD yet.

- The /System/Links tree has a few broken links presumably. This is not
problem.

- I changed one setting in the Glibc-source: Modifyed in the hungarian
locale file. In the “original” hungarian “standard” the decimal_point is
NOT a point (not the 0x2e character) but the “comma”, the 0x2c character!
This is idiocy, stupidity in my eye/opinion, on this score I changed it
back to the original international (“US/English”) value, to the 0x2e.

The name of the root user: root

The root password: violazoli

IMPORTANT! Keep in mind, that in the hungarian keyboard layout the “z” and
the “y” buttons/characters are changed/reversed... :)

The md5sum of the tarball:

ef04b8571a8000e6ab211680e77699a4 NewGoboReleaseByViolaZoli.tar.bz2

filesize: 280251310 (=273683 K)

The download link:

Enjoy, and please write to me ALL possibility, how can I make it better!
(But no idiocyes: “Put to them Xorg, KDE,
​​
etc...” - I wait for solutions to the described bugs/problems written
above!)

My
​future ​
plans: Make to this release xorg, DWM window manager, rxvt-unicode, Moc
music player, mplayer, mencoder, smplayer, xbindkeys, xchainkeys, and other
good stuffs, preferred the commandline- and ncurses-based
utilityes/programs!
