I made a new Squeeze/TDE-lite Live CD with 3.5.13 and all current Squeeze updates: http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/tde/ In this version are only minimal changes to TDE defaults, just a nice (official TDE) wallpaper and a keyboard switcher on the panel . It is a "clean" build using debootstrap and some custom scripts (not remastersys or other utility) Everything is strictly GPL. Included are installers for HD and USB key, a snapshot/remaster utility, various other custom scripts, virtualbox-OSE guest support. Excellent results here from USB key. US/UK English and Spanish language support are preinstalled. Language and keyboard are selectable from the boot prompt. If there is any interest, one extra language (DE or FR ?) might just squash in to CD-size, for a future build. If anyone else wants to have a go at live image building, I have deb-packaged the necessary TDE-specific live-boot and live-config supplementary scripts. Please note: this is *NOT* an official TDE project and is supported by nobody except me. Unless you are feeling adventurous, please use the official TDE installation methods. It is not properly tested, beyond that it boots and the installer works here; some bugs will likely surface that are not the fault of TDE ! Regards David

I have downloaded, burnt and tried your "Trinity 2.3.13" iso. Its very nice and works very well. I like it ! Good work ! Thanks to you for the iso and thanks to all the guys & gals that have put so much effort into Trinity. -- Best Regards: Baron.

Thanks for testing the ISO, please let me know if you find anything not working properly. If you consider it looks very nice, that's entirely thanks to a great job from TDE devs with 3.5.13, as I have used mostly default UI configs. I'm also finding the elegant appearance of 3.5.13 is well complemented by the performance. Regards, David

Hey this is awesome! I am glad someone has had the opportunity to make a live CD! :) I think that we should stick this on one of our mirrors and make it available to everyone. It would be great to have a LiveCD like we have had in the previous releaes. Calvin Morrison

So far so good ! I'm sorting out another machine that I can use to install and test with. Most of the machines that I can get my hands on are fairly low spec. 1.5Ghz cpu and 512Mb ram ! Ideal "IPcop" boxes though. If I hit anything "not quite right" I'll be sure to shout. :-) Thanks. -- Best Regards: Baron.

It's using stock Debian 686 kernel. I can only work with what I have, no 64 machines here; for now users will need to install 64 support manually. It should still run as-is on most machines, 1.5GHz+512 RAM should fly compared to kde4! There is only me doing this, updates will take some time and are many now 3.5.13 has arrived. I will first do some "tidying up", see what bugs come to light and post updated versions when I can. If anyone wants to host it, modify it, fork it, help with improvements or simply suggest how and what, great. All I ask is please respect the GPL. It is at least good for a quick preview of 3.5.13. Do be careful if you use the installer, it seems to work but is "experimental". There is a rather scrappy and outdated "readme.txt" and an installed-packages list in the CD root Regards, David
