Hi,
hi :)
I'm a SUSE refugee (for reasons that should be obvious) and yesterday
installed Kubuntu Dapper after failing with Debian due to it not picking up
my hard drives.
Then I noticed the gNewSense link at gnu.org. Wow, I'm very, very interested
in gNewSense and I've downloaded the ISO, but I have some questions.
I am a KDE user and since gNewSense is based upon Ubuntu, does it still
incorporate the kubuntu-desktop (or similar) settings so I can install my
favourite desktop?
Default install is gnome, but KDE is available. (probably still ubuntu
branded though at this stage...)
I noticed this in Karl Goetz's email yesterday.
:)
"DeltaD (gNS 1.0) is binary compatible with Dapper (6.06). This wont
necessarily continue."
Does this mean that there's a possibility of doing a dist-upgrade between
Dapper and gNewSense? I'm not asking for a guarantee that it would work,
just a sense that it may be possible.
it might work, but you will be left with bits of ubuntu lying around
afterwards that may or may not be helpfull.
I may just give it a try anyway, what are the repository settings for
sources.list ?
deb http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense deltad main universe
(with -updates and -security iirc)
Lastly, is there a get involved or how to help section planned in the Wiki?
i plan for one, not sure if others do... feel free to help out ;)
That's all for now, this looks like a great project,
good luck :)
kk
Andrew :-)
