Hi all,
If someone has successfully installed openSUSE and want to share the image, I have bandwidth and plenty of space.
A tar will do or any other image as suitable. Then tweaking languages/favorite media player, etc. could be left to the end user.
Please tell me what you think about this idea :-) A painless solution to hack the eeePC.
The smartest would probably be just an autoinst.xml and a syslinux/pxelinux config file. Possibly a preconfigured syslinux/usb-thumb-drive version of mini.iso Or similary, preconfigured livecd and full dvd on usb where the only difference is the conversion from .iso to thumb drive and the addition of the autoinst.xml and syslinux.cfg Better yet, just a little script that downloads the regular cd/dvd and xml & cfg and creates the usb drive from it. No real justification for hosting a whole dvd image that only has 2 little text files as the only difference from the stock one. Beter yet, a wiki with an ever growing table of similar "perfected" config files for various other laptops and other special hardware. Maybe the wiki could have a cgi that takes options and generates the xml and other config files, linuxrc boot prompt options etc, and generates them on the fly for most cases based on options entered in the table row, instead of having an ever growing collection of static xml files. For really special cases that the cgi can't handle, you could also sumbit a full xml for that row. -- Brian K.
