Bugsquad LiveDVD

About

The Bugsquad LiveDVD is basically just a simple live i385 GNU/Linux mini-distribution containing most of what is going to be KDE 4.1. I'm planning on releasing it prior to each of the KDE Bugsquad's triaging and krush events so people can take part in those events without having to download and compile themselves.

It consists of:

Debian Sid as the base
parts of KDE 3.5.9, eg.
- kdebase (kdesktop, kicker, konqueror)
- kmail
- knetworkmanager
Amarok
Iceweasel (aka Mozilla Firefox)
major parts of a current KDE4 snapshot (currently r811964), with the exception of:
- kdeaccessibility
- kdeadmin
- kdeartwork
- kdebindings
- kdesdk
- kdevelop
- kdevplatform
- kdewebdev

Download

You can download the ISO from here: torrent (919.4MB).

When you've finished downloading, please consider seeding it. Like that others will have a chance to download it quickly as well.

Running

General

The DVD ran on anything I tried on so I hope it runs on your PC as well. To use it just burn it to a DVD (or a CD if you find one big enough to fit it :-) or load it using your favourite virtual machine.

Boot switches

The DVD uses SYSLINUX and Debian's live-initramfs. The most common switches to use at the SYSLINUX prompt are:

Bugsquad LiveCD
