For those of you who are subscribed to ubuntu-users, you would have heard about my plans to create this (Anyone interested in a "GNOME 2 look and feel" remix?).</div><div style="color:

In fact, I already had a working prototype based on <span style="

I do not know how to
implement a GUI bootmenu in the Live CD (like the
one used in the Ubuntu Live CD).</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">2. I do not know how to make the system to autostart the GUI, so the only way to start the GUI is to type 'startx' on the command line.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I will be generating another prototype based on Trusty Tahr soon.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

I hope that this will be officially recognised and supported by the Ubuntu community.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Yours Sincerly,</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Ben Tinner</div></div></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
