AEROS MX beta2(for EFIKA MX) PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS!!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9349609/aerosmxb2.tar.gz

Put the "AEROS" folder to /usr/share (the folder! Not just what it is inside the folder ; ) )
The "openbox" and "tint2" folder must be copied to /etc/xdg -> PLEASE do this "AFTER" getting openbox and tint2 via apt-get! So you overwrite the standard configuration.

Step 1
use your favorite package-manager to install openbox and than tint2
Step2
Copy the stuff like written above
Step3
From now on you can switch in GDM (the Ubuntu Loginmanager) to an openbox session. If you choose "openbox-session" you will straight boot into AROS Broadway X beta 2.

From now on you can run any linux app from AROS shell via "lx" -> Example typing "lx xterm" will launch xterm.
Tint2 is the minimalistic dock which will be launched via wbstartup.
If you click "right" on it you get access to the debian menu. At least you should. If not, you need to run "sudo aptitude install menu", this will install it.

Broadway X consumes a very minimum of RAM... i reduced it because there is basicall no "real" AROS app for ARM available.

This is not AEROS... i will provide an bootable SD-image asap.

Suggestions:
Firefox is slow on Efika, use chromium-browser instead.
Nautilus is slower than thunar (AEROS will use thunar as filemanager)

Could OOo4Kids be tested on this platform ?

I provide an armhf port on our unofficial Debian port. See my blog : http://eric.bachard.org/news

If it works, I could provide a recent version of OOoLight ( see http://wiki.ooolight.org), based on OpenOffice.org 3.2, but 40% lighter (no Java inside, and a lot of simplifications)

Thanks !

This would be really good but right now we have no armhf build of AROS ready.
I hope that Michal Schulz will try it.
