Live CD version of Mandriva

#1 Post by Lobster »

I recently tried this Live CD version of Mandriva 198 meg
http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=02980#0

It uses XfCE - very polished. The last time I used a live CD from Mandriva (Mandrake) it took about 3 mins to load and well I would rather not bother . . .

It is about the same size as Mandrake. I must say I do tend to compare Puppy with these bigger distros because they are the nearest comparison. Puppy offers more but the bigger versions look better. This was a pleasurable experience. Worth a look if you have a fast connection and a spare CD

Back in the Peach (aka Puppy 1.0.5) 8)

I looked at the screenshot in one of the mentiones reviews:

There is an ice-wm-Theme that looks like this for Puppy, I think it is called "abby" (not shure).

You also should be able to copy the Mandriva-theme (Xfce) over to puppys XFCE.
