iRQLinux Development Release (Pre-Alpha)

Hi everyone,

Iraqi Computer Science Foundation, the official sponsor of iRQLinux Project is pleased to announce the very first step on the development of iRQLinux.

Kindly note this is a Pre-Alpha and it is NOT recommended at all to be used on a real hardware - please do use a Virtual Machine if you wish to carry on.

Please understand we are at the very first early stages of the project. The real work has started a month or so. We are now doing lots of testing until we find the best way where we shall start to move forward and release the first official Alpha release:

These are the steps you need to do if you wish to know what exactly are we doing or how to help us :)

(1) Download and Install: Oracle Virtual Machine:
https://www.virtualbox.org/

(2) Download and Install Ubuntu Mini ISO
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

(3) Create a New Virtual Machine and then install Ubuntu Mini ISO (hopefully soon, there will be a full guide of howto do this).

(4) Follow these after you install the Mini ISO and login - NOTE: there will be ONLY CLI, NO GUI on the Mini ISO

•  sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install lightdm xorg xfce4 firefox synaptic -y

(5) 'lightdm' will not start by default so you need to do this:

Create new conf:

nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-session.conf

write:
[SeatDefaults]
user-session=xfce

Save and exit.

(6) Send your testing reports to:
mesopotamia AT lists.launchpad DOT net

(7) That is all for now :)
