Script driven Ubuntu 9.10 builds Featuring e17-svn and LXDE ready for download!

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 08:08 AM

OK

Couple more beauties if anyone wants to try them out?

First is a Great and awesome 550MB Ubuntu 9.10
featuring the e17 Enlightenment Desktop
Phalanx2!

Both are straight 9.10 builds
not remastersys or anything
hand made baby!

They both have no user,etc just like reg Ubuntu's
both have the Ubiquity installer

OK-
so they each have flash 10, firefox

I made both of them from scripts I made so most of the process is automatic

Heres a couple screenshots:

Next UP:
Debian Live script remaster!
can one get e17 in Lenny?

OK

heres the LXDE build script
for both scripts you need the ubuntu-mini-remix-9.10 iso

shouldn't that be

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 10:13 AM

LOL
I'm not a guru script writer Repo...

what would be the difference?
I guess your right

you know I just stole different aspects of the scripts from remastersys, clamav update script, and some other
stuff
its a hack job cause I'm not Bash proficient

I'm gonna try making a e17 Debian live 503 off the standard or rescue iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/re...e/i386/iso-cd/

we'll see how that goes..

you gonna try either one Repo?

Since I don't have ubuntu installed....
And I don't run scripts as root when I"m not sure what they do :-)

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 10:22 AM

LOL

I noticed there is always a trust problem with downloads

you can read the script
its not like Gparted or Dban is happening

just sharing
if your afraid of this stuff
dont do it

Indeed.
I think you are doing a great job.

Xnest is the name of the program.
xnest is the name of the deb file.

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 10:43 AM

OH

so, I got the debian e17 already going

Debian rocks eh?

I installed my 503box-Live iso via usb
then installed e17
and BAM!

so, I'll now try to build one from script

uh, repo should I use the binary e17 build for debian
or can I do it from source svn like I did with Ubuntu 9.10?

where can i find e17-svn for Lenny?
thanks

repo · 12-19-2009, 10:44 AM

Since you use the sources.list from the system, used to run the script, it needs to be ubuntu 9.10, and all the repo's need to be included.
Or do I miss something?
I would include a test to see if the system is ubuntu 9.10, and see if all the repo's are present and correct.

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 10:56 AM

oh

yes, I set up the ubuntu sources.list via ubuntu/debian sources.list generator
http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/

http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/

I guess I should post the sources.list too huh?

the script actually yes copies your whole /etc/apt folder to the build folder
and so, you gotta set up the sources.list first

note that you can do it from a running ubuntu livecd too
just add the sources you want and have a ext2/3 partition to build it in

I build them in my ubuntu 9.10 system, on my deskytop
if running from livecd one could only build them on a ext2/3 partition right?

I guess it would be possible to make a windows .bat script
but i wouldn't know how, and Xnest probably aint available for Dindows anyway

Hold on and i'll drop link to my sources.list...

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 11:00 AM

OK
heres the sources.list I used for both ubuntu builds

http://multidistro.com/scripts/phalanx2.list

note that it tells one how to get the GPG keys,etc

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 11:02 AM

OK

I am kinda confused as there seems to be different methods to install e17 in Lenny

1) binary

2) CVS (what is that??)

3) SVN (source?)

I installed binary via synaptic...
already noticed the screenshot app aint working...?

I wanna build it from source if possible Repo

linus72 · 12-19-2009, 11:04 AM

seems my sources.list is jiggy
