[opensuse-project] instlux and opensuse10.2
Hi everyone, as discussed at the "openSUSE community meeting" I have implemented the opensuse10.2 version of instlux. Instlux [1] is an open source project for installing linux from windows, without configuring the BIOS, so that it makes it really easy for a windows user. You can download it from the project web page [1]. Next step, as discussed at the meeting, will be to rebuild the DVD so it includes instlux in the autorun file. This way, when inserted during a Windows session, it will automatically start the installer. For this purpose I will use the makeSuSEDVD[2] script, and as agreed on the meeting, I will report the results here. However, I can not publish the remastered DVD because of the registered trademarks. So, do I have permission to do so? Or should I use the rembrand [3] scripts in order to remove all the trademarks?

If you ask Novell Legal, they'll probably say no. That's (one of?) the reasons why rembrand exists. For my "lab experiment" I've been using rembrand to create a de-branded version of openSUSE10.2. This shows the progress so far: URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/opensuse.debranded/index.htm including the script I use to automate the process. Presently, I'm working on build 1.0.5, which has some of the patterns patched to remove a few non-essential packages. I'm also working on a "howto" describing just what I did to achieve the results. The present howto is almost finished and, once I've finished writing it, I plan on adding it to opensuse.org.
