I'll PM you, but in case there are others wondering i thought I would post here as well.

I have started looking at pendrivelinux (which appears to be basically mcnl 2007.1 refaced) and PCLOS 2008 minime

and I see your name in both remaster scripts

however, the scripts are , obviously, not interchangable

maybe you can answer a few questons i've always wondered.

1) Why the change from zenity to kdialogs?

2) is PCLOS 2008 actually closer to 2008 than 2007.1?

I note a newer Kernal, but lipstick on a pig still makes it a pig the question gets asked in the PCLOS forum a lot but i've never seen a clear answer

i really am trying to learn for my class, so anything you can point me to i'm eager to learn.

i have found some base info on zenity and kdialogs, i just havent had the chance to go through it all.


thanks

If i'm correct is PClos 2008 based on Mandriva 2007(1)

thanks for the reply, looking more closely at the scripts it looks like PCLOS is using both zenity and kdialogs.

it seems to look for kdialogs and if not found goes to zenity.

one of the big differences in the functionality of the 2 scripts seems to be that PCLOS asks for the location of the ISO that you want to use, whereas the MCNL and PDL, dont.

also I have had zero success remastering PCLOS minime 2008 and then inserting THAT ISO in place of the original mini me ISO for the USBLIVE.

I guess I'll see if I can get some reply to thaT in the PCLOS forums.

The 2008 minime does look a lot like 2007.1 but the kernal is definately newer.

thanks.
