Re: FW: Re: Pentium M and ToriOS

 

Hi Ali, it isn't the latest version, but it is a more recent build.

I am going to be testing one and I'll upload the new one soon, once I
fix some issues with udiskie and get OBI to install grub (when the tar
has nothing in  /boot/grub  this is fixed by running grub-install and
update-grub)

udiskie is the program I am using to allow users to easily mount devices
(CD/USB/DVD) and access them  I have been having a bit of an issue with
dbus and glib... I think I am missing a dependency, or have done
something in a slightly off order.
But I am getting closer.

To get internet you will have to do it manually until I upload a new ISO.

open a terminal
sudo usermod -a -g netdev torios
will give you the right permissions to remove that error.


My goal is to have a system that is as easy to use as possible... after
all Ubuntu was started to be 'Linux for human beings'.
So I am trying to do all the hard work tweaking everything.

btw, the new version has seamonkey instead of Midori (small screen issue
with midori) but also includes links2, which is a dialog based browser...
It is very fast for text, but can also show images as well...  not a
full featured browser, but good for old computers as a back-up, or for
quick info lookup, and it is a bit more user friendly compared to lynx
or some of the other terminal only browsers.

Don't worry I am getting closer every day to making a really useful Tori OS.
I will be updating the scripts on github soon when I get certain things
worked out better :D
