After several people had asked about setting up kickstart to produce a
Mate desktop version of F18, I made a first attempt. To allow testing
by the widest audience, I made this version for Versatile Express
(QEMU), so no ARM hardware is required to test it. I also included a
rootfs-only tarball for those who would like to use this on hardware
that has no Fedora kernel support. These are all available at:
http://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/test/mate/
This is provided as a starting point for anyone who wants to maintain a
Mate spin or remix for their favorite hardware. This is provided as-is,
and is largely untested, so if it breaks, you get to keep both the pieces.
Special thanks to Jon Chiappetta for providing, and adding features to,
the livemedia-modifier script. This was used to make the vexpress image
(extract the kernel images from the disk image, and make the image
tarball), and to make the rootfs-only tarball (a new feature). Also
special thanks to Paul Whalen for "smoke-testing" numerous images, and
debugging boot issues.
Enjoy,
d.marlin
