Now What?

The creation of a Live CD with MIE interface was not enough for me. I don't like the way that openbox and gnome seem to clash with one another. So I decided to do something about it. Currently remastersys has problems with Ubuntu 9.10, so I had to use the Ubuntu 9.04 mini cd. This thing is sweet, I wish I had found it before. I was able to install a basic command line system, and add whatever bits and pieces I wanted. So the result was a Live CD with bare minimum packages to get an Internet connection, Harbour Launcher, and Elisa working. The iso comes in at 440MB as opposed to the 600 MB it was before. I also wanted to mention that I have contacted Francois from Bisigi Project to ask his permission to pre-install his themes on the disk. As soon as i hear back from him, I will start adding the files necessary to make his themes MIE ready. I will also be featuring another theme for the pink HP Mini. I was up late last night and saw one on QVC that was being sold as Windows 7 although it had the MIE interface clearly on it. Oh well. But it was still the original black, which don't get me wrong, it's nice, just not so much against pink. I have contacted Camille Le Roux at www.ftw-design.com/en/wallpapers.html to ask her permission on using her "Pink Garden" wallpaper, I think it's really great. I do still have some issues to work out, Harbour Launcher still will not autostart, and the default Gnome panels are kind of in the way. Two not really huge issues, but I just want to find out how to do it. So please look for MIE Live Alpha coming really soon.
