Hello all, Well, after a lot of testing, help from team members chatting on theIRC channel and so on, we are close to getting a workable inx-lucid (based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS). Chris Talley (chris4585 on irc), in particular, has made a bootable inx-lucid using his own scripts. His bootable live CD of inx-lucid uses the Grub bootloader with the "eltorito" method to boot the CD. Inspired by Chris's success, I have built a bootable inx-lucid using a modification of my 'buildinx' script and various more or less ugly hacks ;) David Godfrey has also made valuable suggestions, and sent some code, but so far the development experiments with INX do not directly include the code itself. You can read Chris's instructions for his scripts here: http://boxbuntu.com/downloads/files/magiclive-inx.txt My buildinx-lucid script is a work in progress :) I will advise when it becomes safe for humanity *grin*. For those wondering what if any advantage a "lucid-inx" implies: - * Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) is a "Long Term Support" version of Ubuntu, like Hardy (8.04 LTS). Getting an INX re-spin from this base gives us another 3 years of support via Ubuntu. * We get an updated kernel, which might help for recent hardware etc. * Possibly some better apps or improved system underpinnings, although this is not guaranteed. This is just a quick update - I hope to give some links and more concrete information within a few days, perhaps hours, depending on how my latest build works (or doesn't!). I hope to upload a "development" .iso for people to test. I expect to announce this (with download links) within a day or two, maybe sooner. Stay tuned .... Peter
