Linux folk, y00tz needs you.
« on: May 31, 2007, 12:44:15 PM »
Linux guys, pretend I'm completely new to altering a Linux distribution.. See that wasn't hard!  :P  How can I go about adding and removing stuff from a distribution?  I'm not talking about compiling Linux 2.x kernel, unless I have to, I'm talking about switching around software in a LiveCD distribution.  Thanks.

And if you don't know how but have a link or a video or something, post it.

I do suggest installing apt, it is amazing.
if you had apt, you could use sudo apt-get apt! :)

apt = Advanced Packaging Tool, or APT, is a package management front-end used by Debian GNU/Linux and its derivatives. ?

Thanks a lot Smokey.

Eeek!

Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org) - it was for this distribution that APT was developed

Conectiva (http://www.conectiva.com.br) - this was the first distribution to port APT for use with rpm

Libranet (http://www.libranet.com)

Mandrake (http://www.mandrake.com)

PLD (http://www.pld.org.pl)

Vine (http://www.vinelinux.org)

APT4RPM (http://apt4rpm.sf.net)

Alt Linux (http://www.altlinux.ru/)

Red Hat (http://www.redhat.com/)

Sun Solaris (http://www.sun.com/)

SuSE (http://www.suse.de/)

Yellow Dog Linux (http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/)

Don't see my intended distributions there.  :-\
