-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Didn't know whether to ask this in another thread or not, but here goes all the same. Is there any updates to the guidelines for use by system builders to be able to ship Fedora systems with some Fedora Extras packages from the get go? Also related, and I don't want to be a PITA here, what would be the guidelines to have systems be labled as "based on Fedora"? Especially what's the scope of logos and stuff like that when dealing with the "based on" part. I'm especially interested, so we could ship our systems with pre-loaded drivers for nVidia hardware[1]. The driver license allows redistribution, granted the end user agrees to the license. So I've thought a handful of solutions for that[2], but I wonder if the introduction of such slight modifications (or post-install modifications) would render us unable to use the Fedora logo in the menu (for instance) or the GDM greeter screen, as well as other concerns. If what we want to do is plain impossible to do with Fedora, what would you recommend? [1] Despite the fact I don't like nVidia as a company, I'll have to grant them that they're the only [High-End] graphics solutions that work 100% and at full speed in Linux, which cannot be said for ATi and their major speed problems, or about FOSS drivers which lack some functionality due to patent encumberment. [2] I would still have to weight in options here, but one is to have a CD with all the custom, non Extras packages to do some sort of post-installation configuration during first boot. I'll have to gather more information for this, but one option would be to actually have a program similar to system-config-packages with all the optional software to be instlled during post-install configuration. Should a package need a special license agreement (like media players or drivers in this case), at confirmation the license(s) in question would be displayed. If the user does not agree to these, these packages won't be installed, but whatever other packages which fall under the scope of the GPL as Free software will. Problem: How to make a CD that Install Extra CDs during first boot will recognize and launch the [add-on] packages installation program. As part of these a slightly modified version of system-config-display would be included to use the "nvidia" and "fglrx" drivers rather than the "nv" or "radeon" drivers on supported nVidia/ATi graphics hardware. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDld+KXM+XOp70dwoRAjFiAJ0QIDHsyOsXGjTiIP7gE4Bb9FXcfwCeJszs B8c5IsRX2EZJ1YKyOyiLY0I= =jdtp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
