Rapidweather Remaster Version 0.2.8, Beta Based on Damn Small Linux 0.8.2 What's Different about Version 0.2.8? The Getting Started Guide provides detailed information about the Rapidweather Remaster series. Version 0.2.8 is different in that Mozilla Firefox and Opera are not mastered in to the filesystem, as with other Rapidweather Remaster versions. All of the additional applications are added to the root of the CD, and are MyDSL applications that need to be loaded into the running system. About this CD: Here are some guidelines for setting up the system: The following applications are included in the /optional directory in the CD, and are to be loaded using the MyDSL Click and Load GUI, accessed with the MyDSL icon on the desktop: Mozilla Firefox, Opera 6.12, Gimp 1.2, and Abiword. You may load any or all of them, and then start the programs using the Menu. Important: Should you want to unload any of the applications, or all of them that you have loaded, so that the CDROM drive drawer may be opened, follow this procedure: 1. The applications in the /optional directory in the CD are MyDSL applications that are not part of the filesystem until they are loaded into the system as described above. Once any of them are loaded, then the CDROM drive drawer is locked. 2. If you use the MyDSL Click and Load GUI to load an application, it may be used to unload it, by clicking on the application again. Be sure that the application is closed before doing that. 3. The MyDSL Click and Load GUI will not reflect that the application is unloaded, as it is only designed to load applications. 4. Another way to unload an application found in the /optional directory in the CDROM, is to open a root shell (top menu item), and start emelfm. Navigate to the /mnt/auto/cdrom/optional directory on the CDROM, and highlight the application that you wish to either load or unload. Click on the MyDSL button in the center panel of emelfm. In the output pane at the bottom of emelfm, you will see a message. A loaded application will show: opera.uci successfully mounted! (an example for Opera 6.12) Then, to unload the application, click the MyDSL button again. This message will appear: /mnt/auto/cdrom/optional/opera.uci on /opt/opera type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/cloop1) Although this does not say that the application is unloaded, this is all that you will see, and the application is now unloaded. 5. At this point you can use the menu item to unmount the CDROM drive from the filesystem, so the CDROM drive door can be opened. If you have booted the system with the boot option "toram", then you can do this. Otherwise, you cannot. 6. Once the CDROM drive drawer is opened, and the DSL CD is removed, you may replace the CD with a music CD, and use the menu item for XMMS Play CD to play music on your system. 7. Should you now want to load one or more of the MyDSL applications, replace the DSL CD in the CDROM tray, and use the MyDSL Click and Load GUI, or emelfm to load them into the filesystem, so they can be run using the menu. The Dock Apps are in the root of the CD, and are already loaded, ready for menu access. Rapidweather Remaster Version 0.2.8 Beta is a work in progress, and some of the changes are experimental. |
