<p>I am on my road to prepare graphical installation and LIVE CD experience for Parabola. However I am going to use GNOME 3 (some kind of personal preference) and the installer from Cinnarch (It is graphical and user-friendly in terms of partitioning, although still in development.): <a class="external" href="http://forum.cinnarch.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=686">http://forum.cinnarch.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=686</a>.

<ul></ul><p>You may be interested in knowing that I'll be uploading a new git repo of our version of archiso, featuring full rebranding and a portable branch, and fully updated from Arch's version, hopefully in the following days. It will be called parabolaiso (with git repo parabolaiso.git). The rebranding will have it's own git branch to ease future rebrandings (like adding a string to identify a graphical edition).</p> Installation Media - Bug #299: Feature Request: Full Featured ISOhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/299?journal_id=44132013-03-19T17:35:34Zalfplayeralfplayer@mailoo.org
<ul></ul><p>Here's the new git repo: <a class="external" href="https://projects.parabolagnulinux.org/parabolaiso.git">https://projects.parabolagnulinux.org/parabolaiso.git</a>.</p>
<p>Explanation of the branches (source: <a class="external" href="https://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/pipermail/dev/2013-March/001212.html">https://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/pipermail/dev/2013-March/001212.html</a>).</p>
<ul>
<li>rebrand: archiso.git plus Parabola rebranding. It's possible to create similar branches for other ISOs (different rebrandings).</li>
<li>master: rebrand branch plus Parabola customizations. It will be the source for the package parabolaiso (also renamed).</li>
<li>portable: Portable branch of master, so build.sh can run without installing parabolaiso. Package dependencies must be installed to use it.</li>

<ul></ul>This is my first attempt to create a full featured Parabola LIVE CD. Please note the following.
<ul>
<li>It uses GNOME desktop environment.</li>
<li>It is a DVD ISO. I will consider packages included next time, so that it fits a CD.</li>
<li>It doesn't contain a graphical installer, yet.</li>
<li>It hasn't been generated using parabolaiso.</li>
<li>It is a dual image.<br /><a class="external" href="ftp://31.6.71.62/parabola-live/parabola-gnome-201303.iso">ftp://31.6.71.62/parabola-live/parabola-gnome-201303.iso</a> (deleted)</li>

<p>Yes, it will. Just make sure you have enough free space on it.</p> Installation Media - Bug #299: Feature Request: Full Featured ISOhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/299?journal_id=44482013-04-21T14:03:39ZAnonymous
<ul></ul><p>New ISOs have been released.<br />- Use of parabolaiso to create images. Some minor changes including the new Parabola logo come with it.<br />- Both configurations are available (releng and gnome).<br />- The gnome configuration is aimed to provide full experience (it contains packages from gnome-extra group regardless of the size of the image for now). The image fits on an FSF Membership Card.<br />- It is known that there is a problem with rebooting/shutting down inside the GNOME Shell. Probably an empty password for the parabola user prevents authorization from working. You need to either use a key sequence like CTRL+ALT+DELETE or issue a command from the CLI.</p>

<p>I was talking with alfplayer and Emulatorman about making distros "more P2P", meaning having default configurations for file sharing, local networking, local network services, etc. I'll provide some along with guides on the wiki :)</p> Installation Media - Bug #299: Feature Request: Full Featured ISOhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/299?journal_id=44602013-04-28T01:55:46ZAnonymous

<ul></ul><p>New ISO has been released.<br />- Better package selection so that the image is smaller and more useful software is included.<br />- A password was set (which is 'parabola') for ISO unprivileged user parabola to enable using software requiring privilege elevation (like gparted).<br />- Parabola branding started, a default desktop background image (space theme).<br />- Feedback is welcomed.</p>

<p>Thanks, alfplayer. I will do more branding and then I plan to switch my focus to the installer.

<ul></ul><p>A new ISO has been released.<br />- A new default background which uses Parabola colours.<br />- Parabola logo is displayed on the login screen. (Although login screen is not available when there is only a single user. This is the case for the live system. You can enable log out option to be always displayed in dconf.)<br />- Branding resolved in the way that will enable future packaging.<br />- Automatic logon to the desktop session.<br />- The X.org walkaround which enabled GDM to start has been removed as no longer necessary. Thank you bugmenot for pointing out the side effect of this walkaround. I believe that standard X.org driver selection should work now. Absence of walkaround has been tested with an Intel, an nVidia and a vesa-compatible graphics card (virtual ennvironment).</p>
