| = Current/stable Live CD Images = == Downloading == * [http://releases.ubuntu.com/warty/warty-release-live-i386.iso WartyLive v1 ].Has 2.6.7 kernel, uses non-floppy emulation for booting, bootsplash, Gnome splash and wallpaper rebranding complete. See Bugs section below for known issues, feedback is greatly appreciated. == Technical Details == * Similar Projects: GnoppixLive * i386-only for now, other archs are planned for [obsoleted by HoaryHedgehog / HoaryGoals] (see below) * Desktop & Base seeds * use of [http://am.xs4all.nl/phpwiki/index.php/ModuleMaker Morphix:mmaker] * ISO build script (dailybuild) now using isomaker (mmaker in morphix the repo) * the i386 versions (Warty and Hoary) contain a collection of ["WinFOSS"] * Repositories currently used for autobuilding: * deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main * deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main * http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/LiveCD/ == Known Issues == '''[https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ Bugs] ''' of latest LiveCD image * Certain machines have the notorious GRUB Error 21 boot problem. To be investigated further. No known workaround as of now, needs further investigation. Probably we should think about going back to isolinux. Probably User should upgrade their BIOS isn't a solution, maybe it helps. * Setsplash morphix-warthog init bug, superficial ( still untested ) == Screenshots == See also [http://am.xs4all.nl/phpwiki/index.php/TodoBase Morphix:todobase] and [http://am.xs4all.nl/phpwiki/index.php/TodoMain Morphix:todomain] == Supported Languages == The following languages are fully or partially supported for the moment, which you can boot from the bootmenu: * Bulgarian * British * Chinese (Simplified) * Chinese (Traditional) * Czech * Danish * Dutch * Finnish * French * German * Greek * Italian * Japanese * Latvian * Lithuanian * Polish * Russian * Slovak * Slovenian * Spanish * Swiss * Turkish Finally all languages, which gnome supports, could be added. See /boot/grub/menu.lst Example: title Ubuntu | Belgian kernel (cd)/boot/vmlinuz lang=us ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init noapic acpi=off apm=power-off vga=791 splash=silent initrd=miniroot.gz quiet BOOT_IMAGE=morphix lang=be initrd (cd)/boot/miniroot.gz == Gnoppix == Gnoppix is a linux live cd based upon Ubuntu Linux, with a GNOME focus. More details at GnoppixLive. == Remastering == The LiveCD is based on [http://www.morphix.org Morphix ]. = Ongoing development = == New live CD design == An entirely new infrastructure is being developed for the live CDs for the [obsoleted by HoaryHedgehog / HoaryGoals] release, with the following goals: * Support for all officially-supported Ubuntu architectures * Simpler, more maintainable design * Sharing of code with other Ubuntu components which need similar functionality * Bootstrapping * Hardware detection * System configuration (locale, network, etc.) * X server configuration * Look and feel more like an installed Ubuntu system * Provide a framework for advanced features * Session save/restore * Live USB media * Live netboot sessions == Testing == Notes and caveats: - Log in as 'root' for now - The boot process asks a few too many questions. This will be fine-tuned as development continues - X isn't configured yet (but this work is nearing completion). If you can copy in a working xorg.conf, run `/etc/init.d/gdm start` to start an X session Here you'll find some testcases https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/QAtesting. Feel free to add more cases. == Downloading == Daily test images are available here: - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/ - rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/ CategoryCleanup |
