![]() Seeding now.
I'll test and let you know how it works for me on an older P4. |
|
![]() But it's clearly an RC1.
Image does a kernel panic on my netbook. Probably because I'm booting if off a USB CD-ROM. Damn. Boots okay on my other lappy, though, into a Live Install. I'd forgotten just how different a WindowMaker setup can get. My stars. I want to find a box to install it on. I suspect I'll end up customising it a lot. Wade.

![]() Booted via CD.
I'll put a disk in and see how it likes the install |
|
![]() 2nd try.
1st time around the update trashed my X configuration. Doing it again for consistency check. |
|
![]() You don't need a full distro to see that! If I load WindowMaker instead of Gnome on my work Ubuntu, I get nearly a full Gb of memory back.

![]() If the term can be used.
XFCE or WindowsMaker? Got a compare and contrast on them? http://liquidlemur.org/ |
|
![]() It's the default on my MythTV box, but the vast majority of the time I'm using MythTV, not the window manager.
But XFCE strikes me as a lot more like GNOME and KDE. Window Maker's design dates from way before Linux even existed and is a style that would easily baffle if you don't know it. Wade. Static Scribblings http://staticsan.blogspot.com/
