Hi Nio,

Hope this email will find you well :)

I guess you're very busy these days that you didn't yet put your hands
with ToriOS ;)

I'd like to ask you since you're the founder of OBI :)

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/torios/+spec/default-installer

Is it correct that OBI is not useful with ISO files?
Obviously, we are going to have an ISO file and on the above Blueprint,
we need to find out what 'Installer' are we going to use and as I
promised ages ago that I will try OBI and haven't yet (you know I have
no time), to keep my promise, I had a thought to make OBI the default
installer for ToriOS but as per the whiteboard, it might not be possible.

We need you to enlighten us :)

Thank you!

Hi Ali and all [other] fellow torios,

Hello Nio,

I am totally lost between Thunderbird with 5 Emails accounts and between Gmail and 100 or more emails daily and between Firefox and Chromium and billions of open tabs O_o
I guess I need a machine for each project :(

Anyway, sorry for the late reply :)


The OBI itself is a package of shell scripts and the 'dialog' software
package. Now it is run in 'an installed system' which is portable, and
is normally installed in USB pendrives. It needs writeable media and
file-systems, so it cannot run in the standard live ISO way from CD/DVD.
The ISO 9660 file system is read-only.

I have been talking to Jörn about installing the OBI into a system that
can be converted to an ISO file for a 'normal' live system. Such a
system would satisfy your requirements, but we are not there yet. So if
you have to decide the installer for Tori now or soon,


the answer is
*no* the OBI is not a candidate to install it.
Ok, thanks for your reply. As of this very moment, OBI is 'NO' use for ToriOS :)

Keep us updated please in case this will change in the near future ;)


Best regards
Nio

Thank you :)

P.S.
@Israel @Paul and @Smile4ever
We need to make sure this will reflect on our Wiki and Website so that we won't confuse ourselves nor anyone who will view our sites and I shall update the thread on Ubuntu Forums :)
