Brainwork Beta releases
Image stucture
We will have a squashed rootfs and binary pkgs on the disc. Rootfs will be a minimal image for live-mode. Addional pkgs get installed during bootup if needed.
Tribe features
Tribe will unsquash the squashed rootfs to the target and add addional pkgs if needed. User can choose in a list which addional pkgs/modules he wants to add. Chakra-minimal is preselected for our "Click-Next" people, so we have alot to offer and it is more flexible. When you have internet connection it is even possible to install pkgs from other repositories right away during install (killer-feature)
Bootup
Dario is working hard on plymouth. It will be added with support for NVIDIA, INTEL and maybe ATI. You can play around with the kdemod-playground-plymouth-git pkgs right away ...
