Turing Uncomplete

Soooo, I was bored tonight. I fiddle around with things when I get bored, but just couldn’t think of something to fiddle with. Naturally, this irritated me as I had nothing to do at all, not even homework. I have a book I am reading, but I read after going to bed, that is my routine, it just feels weird reading at any other time of the day and I end up having to re-read what I read because I wasn’t really paying attention.

Anyway, I digress. The main point of this post is that I decided on making a live dvd based on Arch. Why? Because I have nothing else to do! That’s a good enough reason, in fact, "Why not?" is a good enough reason. So, this live dvd will be mainly for fiddling purposes - it will have partitioning software, networking doodahs, and harddrive thingies. Possibly also cups and alsa.

I’ll be installing Xorg and Fluxbox on it, though I expect to spend most of the time without Xorg - I’ll only really start Xorg whenever I want to use Gparted (cfdisk is nice, but Gparted is better). I’ll be keeping this whole thing minimal, though knowing me if I have enough space left over (which I almost certainly will), I’ll be installing a few other things such as quod libet, gimp, feh, idesk, and so on. Possibly even metacity, since I can make it look nicer than Fluxbox - unless there is a way to style Fluxbox? I don’t know, I have never tried. There almost certainly is.

If this all goes well and everything I’ll post a feature list and a link to the ISO file. If I do end up using it I’ll have to rebuild and reburn the ISO every few months or so to take advantage of all the updates. Rolling-release is both a blessing and a curse…
