Thread: LinuxICE Testing

Latest image now has X installed. You should be able to startx and do absolutely nothing after that :P.

It may not be worth creating torrents for in the pre-alpha stage. But once we get Alpha1 - Beta and the final, it makes a lot of sense.

The server is being graciously provided by Tidder at the moment. We plan on making it also a torrent seeder when the need arises. I'm planning on doing the same when I get home from vacation and get my server up.

I've started building packages that will be built into linuxice2. These are found at http://linuxice.openice.org/packages. Note that some of these are mainly for testing and may not be stable or completely full-featured.

Hopefully we'll be able to build a repo from these packages.

The latest image has a tuxonice kernel, X, and matchbox. X nor matchbox autostarts yet. We are going to need ndm for that...

noted. I'll make sure xinit is installed for the next run.

UPDATE: I ran a new image with xinit and X should now autostart with tty1.

fixed this issue in the latest build (i think).
