Re: Installation Changes Proposal

 

Hi, Tim:
Well... yes, I think I can do it. The basic idea is to have everything (Python included, I suppose?) in one big "working directory", which then will be packed to a single compressed file: http://www.installjammer.com/docs/CreateANewInstallFast.html .

But I thought we were still on the "gathering ideas" stage, aren't we? :-) I don't know if anyone remembers, but my "adventures" with the MacOSX install included installing Ubuntu (https://lists.launchpad.net/oship-dev/msg00279.html), successfully: (1) in dual-boot configuration and (2) inside a virtual machine. Both methods work for Windows and Linux systems as well (the less "invasive" being the virtual machine, of course; e.g. http://www.virtualbox.org/). So why not create a personalized Ubuntu install (http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/remastersys.html), 100% compatible with OSHIP, that can run everywhere? All it takes is a few extra Gb of disk space (in these days of HUGE HDs, this shouldn't be a big problem).
Roberto.

Hi folks,
It's not so difficult to create an auto-installing, multiplatform package. http://www.installjammer.com/ e.g. automatizes this creation, and is completely free.

Do I detect a volunteer?  :-)
