EDU-Nix Dual Mode CD 3.1 Coming Soon
The First Dual Mode DVD Coming Soon Also
As many are aware, V.III of the dual mode CD was released in March, and shortly afterwards the first (and so far, only) bug was discovered - I did not generate a fluxbox menu for the installed packages. An updated module will be available for download shortly, as well as an updated .iso image.
The DVD version of V.III is being worked on, it will include the source code packages for the Slax live CD as well as source for all included applications. I am planning on also adding OpenOffice.org to the DVD, and will be considering additional packages - any suggestions, please let me know.
For the next CD/DVD project, I am considering returning to my Gentoo roots - or perhaps a Linux From Scratch project, and will make the actual CD creation process part of the site as a tutorial and reference.
I plan to continue to produce Slax modules of educational software titles and maintain the 3.x branch of the CD for some time, so it will remain simple for folks to create their own Slax remaster containing Open Source Schoolware.
Tentative Changelist for Upcoming 3.1 CD
- Update Fluxbox menu
- Add /source directory to skeleton (/source is empty on CD, populated on DVD)
- ?Remove GCompris Windows? (someone said it is still crippleware for Windows, I don’t have Windows so I can’t confirm this)
