However, experience shows that starting from cli.iso is a hard task and needs more than average knowledge and also some research. But this could be rather easy if you would consider using directly the cli.iso created by etjr : the ISO, 175 MB large, could perfectly fit this use. This would allow for “creative customization”. The goal was to make a version as small as possible, and then to be personalized by whatever the user wanted to add. A few screenshots to show how the desktop looks They can be activated or deactivated on the fly. This is where you can activate these effects from the (right-click) Preferences menu. ![]() ![]() Theses effects are provided by the program xcompmgr-dana, thanks to the patch from Dana Jansens (Openbox project), which brings transparency to xcompmgr, and thanks to CalimeroTeknic’s configurations (ArchCtk project) from whom I borrowed the script and the configurations. ![]() (As a guide, please take the time to read the comments in the files.)Īt last, there is also a sprinkle of fantasy, with desktop effects : transparency, fadings, shadows.

Here is the list of the programs and the main features: The size is 261 MB for the English version and 290 MB for the French version. This smallest version of PCLinuxOS has a gui and is installable.Īnd also here, incase the first link would come to be unreachable: We now have a minimalist version of PCLinuxOS Openbox in English, and one localized in French, with the code name « bonsai ». This kept numerous days busy, for myself and several willing testers at the forum. I stumbled upon this chance, to create a tiny PCLinuxOS Openbox version. After this request, a member of the PCLinuxOS community, known as « etjr », created a minimal ISO, a core version without a gui, built with the PCLinuxOS rpms from the repository. It all started at the beginning of July 2010, after a request to make a core version was published on the community projects forum « /forum ». ![]()
