==== Planning outline for OCLUG live USB distro ====
==== Livedistro Plan 2017 ====


Date: 17-3-4       John C. Nash

==== Goals: ====

  * Unordered List Item"boot anywhere" -- legacy/UEFI, 32/64, non-pae
  * customizable
  * remasterable
  * installable
  * documented, both for "product" and how it has been built

==== Base ideas: ====

We have a preliminary liveUSB/iso that is
  * Arch based
  * boots UEFI or legacy
  * 32 or 64 bit, and boots on non-pae processor
  * This also boots in VirtualBox VM
     * can run startx to come up in openbox (manual start)
     * very minimal 


==== Tasks: ====
 A goal is to have these "bite sized" if possible

 * Graphical interface
      * openbox configuration
      * openbox add-ons such as 
         * tint2 - system panel and task bar
         * conky - system monitor and information center
         * nitrogen - for backgrounds
      * some documentation on install and configuration for above

 * Customizing the system
     * pacman installs
     * recommended and necessary tools
     * how to remove/reduce to keep things tight
     * checking and verifying system
     * documentation of the above

 * Remastering
     * getting a new live image from running virtual system
     * Are there choices we need to address?
     * Testing image in virtual environment
     * packaging image onto USB or other media
     * appropriate boot mechanisms in place

  * Installer script
     * optional inclusion on the image
     * how to adjust / test
