As of right now, we have a 3.5rc4 Xfce .iso that's under 700MB for download. This is the standard Live CD. You don't really need to install it. Running that as a Live CD, you can then run a provided shell script that generates a new DL3.5rc4-GNOME.iso This GNOME .iso can then be burned to a DVD as the GNOME package itself is kinda large. It's actually around 753MB and could fit on a 8cm 1.4GB DVD or on a regular-sized dvd. |
Hi chal;
Due to the fact that we do not have our own maintained repos those scripts basically download required packages and build a new .iso file. This works even from Live CD. As you all seem to like changing desks: final release will consist of the MKDistro remaster-tools, allowing you to burn your self-configured DL onto a Live CD. cu, @nno |
Any Dreamlinux users here ?
I received the LQ newletter and discovered this, a DL forum here now... congratulations !
In DreamLinux land I am known as BakUp. I know it won't last long, but I have more post here than Rich or Sg put together, can you imagine that ? Welcome to the LQ forums |

edit: Whoops! Got too enthusiastic. I don't have a DVD burner, so I may have to go with the default. That's actually working out pretty good. I was just trying to make it even better. |

Hey man! Do you run backups here as well? What do you call yourself over in Nascar land? :) |
Using Dreamlinux 3.5-rc4 for several months now
and I'm very happy with it. The only problem is my PIII Coppermine laptop with its paltry 192MB of RAM. I selected Dreamlinux and Linux Mint based on these hardware constraints and both are performing admirably.
However, (and this is a big however) browsing is slow and crashes (with either Firefox or Opera) happen if I open too many (10 to 30) tabs. I'll probably trying bumping the RAM up to 768MB with three 256MB SoDIMMs from ebay. I can't figure out how to switch Firefox profiles on Dreamlinux so I started a new topic here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-3.1b1-690724/ |
The notebook I use as a primary box has had a dedicated DL partition since version 2-something and I think it's a terrific laptop OS. If I ever fire up the tower for anything but an occasional bout of updating I'll put DL on it, too. My wife, everybody's Grandma, is still resisting a change on her laptop from PCLOS '07 but I'll convert her sooner or later.
I'll do what I can to be of service here, however, although I've been using Linux since the mid-90's, I could honestly still post "useResa's" little newbie smilies as my own. Glad to see you getting established with this forum, guys. Thanks for a very, very good distro. Juzme |
I found Dreamlinux while searching for an alternative to Damn Small Linux.
The 3.2 Desktop Live CD booted an ran without any problems. The Xfce desktop was great. I am looking forward to the 3.5 final release which I will install to HDD and USB stick. Being able to customize the distro and install it to USB with file persistance will be a dream come true. I see a real future with Dreamlinux. |
Hi guys;) I like you Laserman can't wait for the 3.5 version to be released....not long now.
I am not the best Xfce fan but created my Gnome iso as SgDreamer explains and it works great. Only found Dreamlinux a short while ago...but was already certain that Dreamlinux is going places.... It is nice to be right about something occasionally...LOL bookie |

I'm sure you'd be able to convince your wife one day. Thank you very much, Juzme for your offer to help out over here on DL's LQ home. |
Evening all, nice to see DL gets it's own forum on LQ. Well deserved!

Hey there! andluifercam!!
Nice of you to drop by over here as well :) Oh, btw there's a 'message' waiting for you over at http://dreamlinuxforums.org/index.ph....html#msg27295 See ya soon... |
Hi Evreyone, I am a new Dream linux user. I especially like that it runs without problems on my older machines. Even my wife is not afraid to use it. Good Job. just one problem, how come I can not get openvpn to work. I have used openvpn in several other Debian based Distro's without problems.
Problem I have tried launching openvpn from the terminal as well as from within Network manager and still no go.. I have looked at the error logs and nothing looks out of the ordinary, no errors thrown. Just failed to continue working apparently. Any advice out there. |
