 What is this Mini-guide?In searching google for something, I stumbled across this page: http://www.mepiscommunity.org/miniguide/
It looks pretty good, but I don’t see where it is used anywhere. What is its purpose and use? or future? Cheers _________________ Registered Linux user #389678 Check the Wiki for Help and then please Help out by editing/improving it. |

That is a little teaser we wrote (Mike Pav, Jerry, Karen and myself) for the live-cd.
If you boot the live-cd from a windows install, it will autorun your default browser, and that short intro will play. It was Mike's idea, Warren said go ahead, so the 4 of us got our heads together and that's what we came up with. Adrian, Joanie and Silverbear (John) also helped us with the critiquing and testing. If you want to try it - simply load Windows (even in a VM), then insert your live CD .... _________________ Desktop - Win 8-64 : Corsair 520HX, P5Q Pro, Q6600 G0 @ 3Ghz, 4Gb DDR2 1066, Asus GTX560 OC, 3xWD 500Gb Sata2, Asus CD/DVD, Logitech Wave Kb, G5, C300 Cam, Audio-gd NFB-12 + LD MKIV + GigaWorks T20.

No need to boot windows, you can run it from the Mepis CD, pop a Mepis 8 CD into your drive, open the "info" folder and click on index.html or index_es.html
I did give Warren some sample code to make it autorun in Linux, but it was not integrated, I guess most probably because that is not his forte.

It's also linked now off the main page of mepis.org, down at the bottom under East start, Great finish.
I would like to hear that people are profiting from it, we put a bit of intense time into it. _________________ A Wiki only works when many eyes are on it. 32bit, 2.6.36-1-mepis-pae, KDE 4.6.5, AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core, Dell SP2309W with integrated webcam, Nvidia GeForce 6150SE, 4 GB DDR2 |

Very nice work. This is the kind of web page I could send to my friends and family to get them interested in Linux.
Thanks for all the replies. _________________ Registered Linux user #389678 Check the Wiki for Help and then please Help out by editing/improving it. |

Maybe it should be linked on ML somewhere? And it could be on MepisCommunity as well--think I'll do that. EDIT: done, as first step on the Getting Started page, where it makes good sense to have it.

Great guide.
One small navigation issue the "next" on http://www.mepiscommunity.org/miniguide/help.html doesn't go anywhere. |

Another victim of random acts of cut and paste...
