DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: **official IBLS--Itty Bitty Linux Server thread**
Ok, i have finally got my act together and seriously begun work on DSL web server edition.
If a forum MOD would like to sticky this thread i would be grateful.
DSL Web Server Edition will have full LAMP and web admin interface and still be 50mb.
I will put together the guts of the web config interface (php) but someone else will need to do some snazzy html to make it look good.
currently i am installing all the software, and should have the basics of the configuration interface done in the next few days, as i said if anyone wants to volounteer to do the html portion of this i would be grateful.
Any suggestions for features and software to include will also be welcomed. once i release an ISO people can make modifications to it which will be included in the next version if they are good.
NOTE 1: i am basing this off the latest DSL iso, before modifying i booted it up to check it out and i am really impressed, it looks a lot better that 0.8 which was the last one i downloaded (stupid dialup).
NOTE 2: if the site admins would let me put my ISO on the site that would be great, otherwise i can host elsewhere. uploading it will be a problem, i have dialup with VERY slow upload speeds and 2 hour max connection time, so i will probably have to upload in chunks, this can be arranged nearer the release (soon).
anyway, gotta go now, cya
just to update: i had a 50mb working ISO with apache and php working and mysql installed but broken, accidentally messed everything up, started again, this time with apache2 and mysql and php all working now, waiting for iso to finish making to see size.
82mb so far, but i can get that down a lot further, i still have apt installed!!
64mb, with working LAMP, i am going to try out cramfs to see if i can make it any smaller.
cramfs makes a LARGER image, no good a all.
cutting some more junk out.
i want to be able to fit in PHPMYADMIN as well, all in 50mb, will take some work.
