2008/3/25 Stewart Campbell <stewart.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > What kind of changes have you made? How did you make them? (Did you use > tools like livecd-creator or pungi?) > > Tools used: > - Mostly gedit to manually edit the config files > - gconf-edit to change defaults > > There were quite a few changes we made. Here is a brief list: > - Created a custom kickstart for our custom install over network boot > servers so that we can image many systems at once > - Created our own Fedora 8 internal repo so that the second stage of the > install process installs all updates from our local repo so the user does > not have a massive download when they receive the desktop > - Added extra archive support so the users who are used to a GUI > environment like Windows can just click on most archive file formats and it > will open in archive manager > - Customised keyboard settings so that the Internet keys on the keyboard > will work out of the box. Key like mute/un-mute, volume up, volume down, > Windows Start Menu key will select the main Applications menu, CD playback > keys etc. > - DVD, VCD, CD auto play in full screen when inserted. > - We have made sure most file formats are supported and load in the correct > applications. Formats like MP4, MP3, WAV, DOC, PPT, XLS, PDF, image formats > etc. > - Browser (Firefox) is pre-installed with Adobe flash and Java plugins so > the user can start using the Internet straight away without having to worry > about installing and configuring these plugins. > - Remote Desktop, we have installed an easy to use GUI for remote desktop > use. Out of the box it supports RDP, RDPv5, VNC, XDMCP. > - GUI PPTP VPN client is also installed to make it easy for business users > to connect into another network. > - Bluetooth support installed and set-up. If a user has a Bluetooth USB > adapter and plugs it is, system automatically detect and provide Bluetooth > support. > - Customised default user profile so that many minor settings have been > altered so each user account created automatically has what we believe an > easy to user interface and less changes are required for the user to just > user the system without have to customise first. > - Added the livna repo for installing some of the extra packages we wanted. > - Changed the default applications to a range of applications that suit > both the home and business market. A lot of the default applications were > kept as they were ones we wanted anyway. > - We also install and customise an open source web based admin product so > that most common admin tasks can be performed from support personal with > just a web browser even will the user is still using the system. > Can you publish ISO image (tar.gz'ipped filesystem, whatever else) with such modified system? -- regards, uosiu mail: uosiumen on server uosiu DOT info jabber: uosiu on server jabberpl DOT org -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
