I drew up a shortlist on the wiki page this morning, so if anyone = can think of other worthy removals, please add them there. I understand that without a full diff from knoppix sources the LiveCD is=20 mystery meat and not particularly GPL compliant to boot. I think this is=20 something to address in the medium term, when/if it ever begins to take shape= =20 as a serious proposition. I believe the Knoppix sources are available at:=20 http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/.=20 I have about 40KB/s TX bandwidth on my home connection, so if you manage a=20 full download please continue to seed. Elements of the CD that need some attention: * Firefox - firefox sessions load from tork with pretty much everything=20 disabled. The next version will have Mike Perry's torbutton - which looks=20 like the most sensible way of doing things. I also haven't attempted to strip= =20 any plugins yet. * Firewall - just a basic firewall is used. No attempt is made to block=20 outgoing dns requests. Instead these are tracked and reported in a very=20 rudimentary, not-exactly-foolproof way by tork. I guess this comes down to=20 whether an anonymous cd should permit non-anonymous browsing. * Policy on software included. What applications should the CD include? Shoul= d=20 the user want/be able to print? Should there be more than one type of CD=20 offered, full featured vs just browsing? * Are there security features that the wiki page doesn't even mention or=20 address? Anyway, be gentle! I'll probably try to create a new and improved version of = the CD every few weeks for the next while.=20 --=20 KlamAV - An Anti-Virus Manager for KDE - http://www.klamav.net TorK - A Tor Controller For KDE - http://tork.sf.net ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 Eugen* Leitl leitl http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE --===============3927401440682528004==--
