Re: [LUG] DCGLUG Branded OpenCD 7.04

[Bill <bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I understand that there are time constraints to consider here, but would it not be nice to include something Linuxie on the CD?

http://wubi-installer.org is a 10MB windows exe which allows the Linux novice to install a full flavour of ubuntu 7.04 to a virtual drive which lives as a file on the existing C drive and uses the MS bootloader to facilitate the dual booting. Paul mentioned this project a week ago and i reckon it is a winner for those Linux sceptics out there who don't want to hurt their fragile Windows install ;-)

Not like there isn't the space on the OpenCD, integration into the OpenCD menus could be done at a later date of course.

Bill.

I always think it communicates immediately if we actually say what the
group is for even if it is implicit in the title. How about something
along the lines of "to provide mutual help in using GNU/Linux."
      

Yup - the historical stuff can go near the bottom - it's nice to
reassure people that we've been around so long - 1999! crikey!

Okay, how does this sound?

he Devon & Cornwall Linux User Group was founded in October 1999 by Alex 
Charrett and Aaron Trevena to provide mutual help in using GNU/Linux.

The Linux User Group has members from around the Devon and Cornwall area 
(and even some members out of these areas) who participate in our active 
mailing list and user group meetings.

We welcome all users of Linux and Free/Libre/Open Source Software 
(FLOSS) regardless of their technical knowledge or ability.

I was thinking that we can tweak it over time.  I really need to get a 
final ISO finished so I can start burning the CDs ready for Saturday.  I 
get the impression that the next release of The OpenCD is due sooner 
rather than later.  The current custom version of the CD is a bit rough 
around the edges, I've only actually been working on it for a couple of 
evenings so I haven't had chance to make it look really pretty (I'm 
getting grief from my other half as I write this!) although I have high 
hopes for the next release to have a bit more time spent on it (assuming 
it doesn't get released a week before Software Freedom Day!)
