Hi!
On the dev mailling list, Darrel Anderson wrote that he wanted a way to display a message just one time after the installation. Here is how it is made in my PCLinuxOS remaster (and the original too): A little script is placed in the Autostart folder of the users when users are created (/etc/skel is the default base user profile) It shows a little Zenity dialog and launch a web page. Once it is executed, the little script is auto-destroyed.
As an attachement, I included the script. For more details of how it works, you can install my PCLinuxOS noin-official TDE remaster (in the LiveCD page of this website) and you'll be able to see it when a user log in for the first time. Of course, Zenity (GTK2) could be replaced by a TDE equivalent.
Have a nice day! -Alexnadre

Hi,
I'm always happy to hear that my remaster is being in use! When it will be released, I will evaluate if the next release of my remaster is based on R14 of 3.5.13.2 I cannot give my opinion on it now.
Thank you! -Alexandre

OK Whatever you decide will be fine with me. I have been using the remaster for 6 months now, with no glitches to speak of. Thanks
