And secondly , thanks to the pathetic service we call " BROADBAND " here , most people will be limited by their bandwidth for any download from ftp / http. Regards, Sameep

Naveen [ openvarsity.org ] has agreed to host it. I will also mirror it on another site. It should be up in a few hours. Hope everyone enjoys it. Regards, Sameep

Hi All, Around 2-3 Years back I handed over a "EduMorphix" CD to a kid. Recently I was surprised to find her using it even till date. I noticed that most of the applications on it are quite old compared with the versions that my daughter plays with. I want to give her a Live-CD with updated software since I cannot install anything on her dad's machine. Unfortunately EduMorphix does not exists anymore. EduMorphix was just perfect, I dont know why they decided to dis-continue it. Freeduc (http://www.ofset.org/freeduc-cd) is not updated in a long time either There is no Live CD for edubuntu. I am looking for any distibution including at least "TuxPaint", "TuxMath" and "gCompris". Can someone suggest a live CD focused on Education? Regards Aseem Hi, You can make your own LiveCD with whichever packages you need. You can remove whatever you don't need. Most distros have an option of making a custom LiveCD. It takes about half an hour. Alternatively you can tell me what packages you need and I'll make a LiveCD for you. :-) Regards, Sameep

> How about posting a mini-howto for the process? Or the pointer(s) for the same? > > With regards, > -- > --Dinesh Shah :-) The custom iso is very easy to make. How much time it takes depends on the kind of customization your looking for. On a Ubuntu / Kubuntu based system , you can use remastersys or reconstructor. http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys Thats a how-to on remastersys to get you started. The only thing to remember is that remastersys will automatically include all packages installed on your system into the custom distribution. So its best to use it on a new install. That will prevent installation of unrequired software. Here is the link for Reconstructor : http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ This is a good tool as well. Has some more customizations. The best way is to make a Live Distro from scratch. That way you can keep it quite trim by removing all unnecessary packages. You can also have a different window manager if you want to keep it really small. There are also tools to customize fedora , knoppix, slax , DSL etc. Another tool worth mentioning is Insta Linux http://www.instalinux.com/ Its a online app where u can choose what apps you want. It generates a custom cd for you on the fly which you have 24 hours to download / distribute. The avaiable applications are quite limited though. Regards, Sameep
