Re: gEDA-user: Re: VMPlayer Image

[Steve Morss <smorss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been thinking about VMWare vs a live CD for gEDA, and it seems that 
both should be available.  A VMWare image is great for all the reasons 
that have been talked about.  A live CD is good for people who just want 
to try something (no installation required).  I've been working on a 
live CD version which I would be happy to share (if people are 
interested and if there is a Web site I could post it onto).

It's not perfect yet, but this is what it is.  It's an Ubuntu Edgey Live 
CD with gschem, pcb , gnucap, iverilog, and the support utilities all 
installed.  I pulled out some of the Edgey language support and the 
Evolution app to make room for the gEDA.  Once you boot off of it, it 
also gives you the option of installing Ubuntu on your hard drive.  
(This has some interesting possibilities for VMWare users.  You can boot 
it under VMWare,  and install it to create a VMWare image.)
