Cool, that's good info, gonna do this then in a clean 64, I have a nice pristine Mate install that I was building from anyway.

So I guess there's no way to do this using "su" instead of sudo? That's one of the things that stopped my first attempt, it's installed on my system but I never use it so my user account isn't in the sudoers file. Heck I can't even remember how to add somebody to sudo, haven't used it in many years.

EDIT: Hey meant to ask, any chance of getting a package list for the "core" and "base" groups of packages? Would be a valuable aid in learning what is and isn't needed to run the basic system.

So true, more and more I see folks like me who don't want a full iso with a lot of pre-selected programs. I'm really liking seeing all the mini's popping up using a Devuan base. The live-SDK is really gonna kick this trend into high gear I think.

ahhh, I didn't even try right-clicking on tint2 for the menu, that'll work too. I guess it depends on user, i made one for my wife's crunchbang install way back, and she still uses it when she's in that partition, habit from using DE's with a start menu in that corner, i think a lot of people have that habit hard-wired in them from years of windows-abuse,lol.

Thinking of adding a just a conky on/off switch in the panel just to bypass conky autostart/delay issues and such, haven't had a problem using it in your distro, but have used the conky switch before and found it super handy.

Having a blast with this thing Miyolinux!  Going seriously mini here, probably not in keeping with your vision for it, but what's turning out here is pretty cool. I wish though I had started with the 32 bit version, this whole thing is so light and quick it would be perfect for older hardware. When i'm done with this the iso should be close to making it below 300 mb in size.

I fixed os-probes, again. lol.

Fixed an issue I had with pcmanfm not letting me mount other partitions with a click, it wouldn't even pop up the gksu dialog box, just told me i wasn't authorized. It turned out to be a deal with udisks2, I edited the udsisks2 policy in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/ and now it works like I want it to, you can mount the partitions in pcmanfm with just a click, to edit system files or look into the root folder in those partitions it gksu's you and you still need to enter root password for that.

Updated it fully, weird it pushed me to do a bunch of updates, I did them, then it pushed me to do another big batch, did those too (and got clearlooks-purpy and mate icons forced on me for my trouble, lol), then a bunch of stuff popped up on autoremove, so I dumped them, but later put one or two back, it was very strange. Down to like 854 total packages installed.

Installed Ralink firmware, needed it for my laptop and a lot of HP machines need it too.

Installed gpicview, I think even a mini needs a picture viewer, gpicview is pretty small, nice old-school gtk2.

Added Oxy2-zen icons, basically old gnome icons done in black, mostly only applies to folders.

Added a couple of custom entries to the right-click context menu in pcmanfm, Open Folder As Root , and Edit File As Root, these are just handy as a shirt-pocket if you do any dev work or just hardcore customizing.

I also have a script that will use imagemagick to re-size images in a folder like the one that's available for caja in Mate, but it's written for Spacefm, I think it should work in pcmanfm too with some changes, but that's for a later fuller version.

I removed Firefox, user might want something different, easy enough to add even on the livecd. I guess Firefox was the only thing that needed gstreamer 1.0 as it offered all those packages up for autoremove after I dumped Firefox, so I dumped them too, still has gstreamer 0.10 onboard, probably need to re-install 1.0 stuff with a lot of modern programs but no biggie. Everything still works great right now.

I got rid of the update notifier, just didn't like it, sorry man. And while i'm at it i'm also sorry for getting rid of a ton of icons, images, and locale stuff. Really very sorry. srsly.

Still got a bunch to do, going to update all the Refracta-tools with newest versions. And some more configuring, going to change the grub background with one of your other pieces of artwork (the dark gray) to better match the whole theme, I guess the lightdm background uses that same image?

Older post so OP may not see my reply, but FYI for others this guide works perfectly in Devuan for installing the fglrx drivers :

Downloaded a copy yesterday and tried it last night (livecd), and just wanted to say that I really really like it, excellent work Miyolinux! Nice and minimal, great builder to get a good openbox system up and running, this is definitely going on a partition somewhere and i'm gonna miyo the heck out of it.

Swapped some icons i like into the livecd environment while it was running, they go pretty good with the black/gray theme, probably gonna use them and a few other MIYO inspirations and roll a re-spin a la greenjeans. ;-)

Again, great work and thank you for doing it!
