[edit] General to-do list

[edit] General features

• The Great BootScripts Review -- the original idea for the BootScripts was extremely minimalistic, and it was good while it lasted, but as users needs became more diverse, complexity creeped in. It's about time to clean up the mess.
• DHCP search on live CD for "plug-and-play" networking when possible.
• Use hotplug. This provides hotplug support. This is used by the PCI, USB, Firewire, and other subsystem.
• Split KDE in various packages (KDE-Base, KDE-Games, etc)

[edit] Scripts

• Check if "makewhatis -u" should be called at each SymlinkProgram
• Arrange a way to install a package with CompileProgram so that installs additional kernel modules in a clean way

[edit] ISO technical issues

• make the update of settings smarter (when Settings Current/Defaults/Settings)
• make the update of livecd gobo and EnhacedSkel smarter (most settings are the same, with exception of .zshrc, Desktop/{Install_GoboLinux, QTParted})
• When I put in the LiveCD, I get a boot: prompt and hit enter, followed by something about decompressing, something about initrd, and a lot of dots, then a reboot. And it proceeds to do it again. And then it reboots again, etc at nausium. Please figure out whats wrong ----- that probably means your processor is not i686-class; is it a Pentium II or higher? (hint: a K6 is not i686-class). -- hisham
