Comment 31 for bug 84591

That sounds good, Fisselfink. I actually may not be able to get this going until some time next week. My wife has been giving me some dirty looks for the time I have spent. But, there are a couple things I still want to check out.

I suppose it probably makes sense to make all of the files available in the form of an iso, just like a ubuntu distribution (unless someone has other thoughts), and probably makes sense to make it available without my other "customizations" (e.g. not add ntfs-3g, bootchart, etc.). That way, it is a "base" image, similar to the ubuntu distrib.

Also, I am experiencing a problem installing the Java JRE and plugin. It does not look like it is a problem unique to this hybrid. But rather, appears to be a problem that others have experienced (e.g. I think it is failing to configure Java, saying it cannot locate libjli.so and libjava.so - or something to that effect - I don't have the error messages in front of me now). Although I believe Java is not in the base distribution, it would be nice if I could resolve that before making this available. But I don't think I am going to have time to figure it out. I expect it is probably an issue that can be fixed by making changes in persistent mode, but again I haven't worked it out.

I guess, people should assume there may be issues and test it out and provide feedback. It may need more fine tuning. I am also am wondering whether it would make more sense to start with Edgy and upgrade from that (so that the Edgy version of the relevant files are pinned, rather than the Herd3 versions). Again, I may not have a chance to figure that out soon. If anyone wants a copy of this earlier than next week, I don't mind making it available in exactly the form I have it now, as long as everyone recognizes that it may still be a little "rough."
