[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Maemo Live 0.5a available

[From: Mattias Schlenker]

Hi folks,

I am proudly presenting the Maemo Live-CD 0.5a (still alpha). I included 
and configured OpenSSH, Samba and Xvnc. This means you can now take pop 
the CD in that old computer (>500MHz, 256MB RAM), connect to it from 
your Windows/Mac/Linux/Solaris desktop and start developing with your 
favourite tools.

Take a look at this feature:

And download the ISO file:

1. Boot the Maemo Live-CD. If you do not need the GUI, edit the "kernel" 
line in grub and add "3" to boot to runlevel 3.

2. Use your favourite SSH-Client to log in to the Maemo box. Login is 
"knoppix", password is "maemo".

3. Set some environment variables:

    export DISPLAY=localhost:3.0
    export LANGUAGE=en_GB

4. Start the Maemo GUI

    /scratchbox/login
    af-sb-init.sh start

5. Use your favourite VNC-Viewer to connect to Xvnc, do not forget to 
connect to "ip-address:3", since Xvnc is running on display 3.

6. A Samba server provides access to /home, /tmp and /scratchbox.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS LIVE CD IN A SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENT! Anyone can 
log in and wreck havoc in your network!

Besides these changes I installed Plucker Desktop and some eBooks. 
Please test these features (I did not test them yet).

I will write some more comprehensive documentation as soon as the wiki 
is ready. 

Regards,
Mattias
