Hi Aleksej
Your information:
«I've drop even 5 version :)
I'm working for 6 :D
And I will neither release 5 nor touch it without much need.
adapt the scope of contents to that new version
I choose BLFS to pull SliTaz in (some of the packages are even new that ones in BLFS now). I believe it's a great basis for our distro.
All that updates are slow and huge for my limited time, but I still go. I can't make any forecasts (I'm bad in it), but something tells me that we'll have Test Live CD until the summer is over.»
given in your last answer in the thread
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/grub-pc-code-to-start-slitaz-one-time-in-the-commando-line-box
is highly important!
(Remark: I find really highly fun, that the 2 distros created initially in the French Swiss, SliTaz and NuTyx, and I will speak here about NuTyx, are both based on LFS, and if it is not completely unique in the world, is is something else! Some methods are really the same, like name giving: http://forums.nutyx.org / http://forum.slitaz.org or http://downloads.nutyx.org / http://mirror.slitaz.org, http://nutyx.org/en / http://slitaz.org, and perhaps more. Also NuTyx gives LFS sources and uses them to build binary packages from LFS, etc.)
A question Aleksej:
Did you try a time to follow and use (build the system) like this happens in NuTyx following this step by step receipt:
http://nutyx.org/en/build-pre and the 4 following linked receipt web pages?
I did do it 2 times with success. It was a fascination! Nothing to do (2 or 3 years ago! The receipt was very shorter as it did concern only LFS and not BLFS and the new NuTyx packaging system did not exist at all) else than copy with the mouse a few time line after line without to need to make somewhat else
and
after 1 or 2 days of compilation depending of the power of your PC
you can start a completely new LFS system made entirely from LFS sources on you PC without to have to use the LFS book (a very long occupation if you do that manually!)...
And you can do that in Graphic mode in a console emulator (you must use a console emulator to copy without some writing the commando lines from webpage to the console!) as your PC do, slower, of course, because the compilation job that happens at the same time, all what it does daily for you: surf, play etc. ... You can have continuously a look on the compilation job where nothing is to do for you excepted some disturb / bug happens.
The big difference between NuTyx and SliTaz:
NuTyx produces an extremely heavy system
SliTaz produces an extremely compact system
from the same stuff.
As far as know, Thierry Nuttens, the creator of Nu-Ty-x, can install NuTyx out only a script via internet starting from each system using the same bash dialect as LFS (probably the same as SliTaz or uses SliTaz perhaps a different bash because important bash scripts used in versions 1, 2 and 3 of SliTaz). I did do it a lot of times, it works perfectly passing only 3 or 4 parameters (language code, keyboard etc.). Also that can happen on a Graphical system running for other jobs (try it with Debian / Ubuntu, especially with debootstrap!). And it can happen completely from sources as explained above (actually, no other distribution recommend it really and offers at the same time conventional fully easy installation from live ISO! Gentoo not, Arch not favorable, Slackware is often named as supplier for sources but if you ask how to rebuild your distro for your own environment / processor, no enthousiasme any more. Same thing for Debian / Ubuntu: apt-build is more theory as praxis!).
And Nuttens did explain, his method of about automatic compilation can treat each scope of distribution you want: He himself try to automatize very next to the common use of LFS treatment of the building. But it was possible to compile something like SliTaz each parution of LFS as NuTyx publish in his git all versions of LFS without exception.
Second fact: Diverse packages are missing (as well in SliTaz as in NuTyx): Fonts, dictionaries, but also applications like gramps etc possibly interesting also for each one (gramps is not somewhat for specialists!!!). It is for a lot of people the cause don't to use both - if I would have to build myself my needing especialized app's I would immediately reinstall on my laptop that what initially was on it and pay by me - M$-Windows! Because I have other interests as develop. Each one have to know what he will be in the live: Developer or user or an intermediate person between both... And it conditionate what you will choice! If SliTaz and NuTyx having both the same sources base would cooperate together on the field of better handling von a/ BLFS packages not being yet compiled and b/ of foreign free packages, the heavy job would become half so difficult and the time of disposition of those packages probably shorter!
Last word: As well SliTaz as Nutyx can loose real ballast in the ISO (beavers, vi, but also simple consoles if you install Sakura). Why an too long menu where a shorter one would be enough and make the job more easy. The reason of SliTaz or Puppy Linux was to be so light, so compact, but offering a good app for each job. And, what did happen? (Especially) Puppy Linux (and in some kind also) SliTaz did become fat and fat and fat. If you look behind the door, Puppy Linux installs for ex. always 2 WM's (JWM and often Lxde like SliTaz) but also an hidden third one, Rox. Why? Rox is also an Window Manager! And PCmanFM as to become also more and more fat, to offer the same type of view as rox filer does! It is nonsens...
