apt-get install ace-of-penguins <---- This will be included
apt-get install pente bovo <---- These are 2 connect 5 games in the debian repo, bovo seems to look nicer and pente is fairly simple .... which one would you prefer?
some form of webcam suite will be added as well im currently testing 5 or so of them at the moment
the auto startx / autologin isnt something i can setup in this pussyxtra-beta.squashfs , that is something that ill have to setup in the filesystem.squashfs... this file will also be overhauled before we hit actual beta.
Currently all the auto startx options backfire because as soon as you exit the X session, it loads again so you can never really get to the console. You can, however edit your boot code in grub or on the cdrom or usb install in live.cfg in the syslinux or isolinux dirs of your live media and remove the: noautologin boot tag, this will auto log you in and startx but as the default user called user. This is ok till you wanna run a program because everything in pussy has been installed as root and user has no access to it. You can switch to root once logged in with the: sudo -i command or su root. But to make your X session run as root you will need to exit to console then su to root then startx and then your all ok.
What i am planning for the beta is to have extra options at boot, you can boot to X or boot to console with a propper login screen. .... no one can login remotely via a network as root without the password and this will remain intact.
the option for booting directly to X as root, without X annoyingly starting again everytime you exit it will get added to Pussy when i overhaul the filesystem.squashfs but this might not happen for another month or so.
Due to responses from my post asking for people to suggest packages for inclusion, im also looking at adding skype, dvd/ cdrom ripping, movie editing etc etc.... it may take longer than i previously planned to redo this squashfs file ... due to aot of testing involved but it will be soon.
