[Lincs] LLUG Distro

[Dave Rice]

ok, next then....a slimming down,

here is a list of software currently on the CD iso image which, after a 
re-do (i deleted the last one!),
stands at about 850Mb.

a full list:

and a list in reverse size order:

I've taken the biggest out - openoffice etc, but there is great room for 
slimming still.

The uncompressed system is coming in at about 1.3Gb so i dont think we 
have to loose too much more
if we want both desktop environments.

As for themeing, i think just a gentle re-branding is in order...some 
LLUG icons for menus, a nice
background and a cheerful colour scheme, nothing too in depth tho....we 
can always look at a complete
themeing session on LincsLinux v2.0!

I'll take another look at the initial boot pic....if anyone would like 
to submit an entry for that pic it needs to be:

no more than 640x480 16 colours and saved in pnm format.

cheers for the support so far
