DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: UBCD and DSL together



Linux is like Ol'time religion, if you're not a believer, your damned. Check the slackware newsgroup :)

Did I say fork I meant axalotl........

UBCD is now at http://ubcd.sourceforge.net

Victor Chew is still project lead, but he has now
handed linux inclusions over to Scot.

From our last posting, it looks like Scot will use
a very slighly modified Feather Linux to submit
for inclusion on UBCD v2.3 (Feather omits the
games and has captive NTFS...)

Pitty that noone from DSL wanted to assist...

Would have been nice to see DSL and another great CD Utilities CD team up...

UBCD 2.3 was just released, and now has 85 utilities on one bootable MiniCD. But for those that were interested in the original topic..
No, it does not have any Live Linux yet :-(
At the current rate, maybe we'll see something by August.  Cheer's to all - here's the post:

Brian, maintaining and improving just one distribution is an enormous about of work.  If people want to build from DSL and start their own project they are free to do so -- many have.  We have to focus because both Robert and I have limited time.
