lxde-sid a lightweight iso
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 12:30 am
I have tried to build a leigthweight lxde-iso based on debian-sid with some sidux-tools. It's a Live-CD with easy possibility to install it on HD.
attention: the lxde-sid-lite.iso starts in live-mode in german, if you want to use an english version please press (short after CD-start in grub) the F4 button to chooce the language.

for german users: http://cap.gediam.de
I have choosen lightweigt applications for many normal purposes, but I haven't put an office-software on the iso, because of the users have different demands.
I recommend as office-software koffice for post install. Koffice uses not so much kdelibs ( kdelibs4c2a). If you need a good spreadsheet, I recommend gnumeric for postinstall.
for making it lighter I have put a little script start_slim to change the display-manager gdm for the lighter slim after HD-installation. The script also removes many parts of gnome-libraries. Note, that start_slim also removes file-roller. You can use xarchiver instead.
some important applications on the iso: http://cap.gediam.de/apps-en.html
the full list of packages: http://cap-sid.frickelplatz.de/lxde-sid ... 6.manifest

Have a lot of fun
