Fork-ZyX-0.9.3 Simulated Boot Video


G ZyX

version :: 0.9.3 :: "remOrk" :: (2010.02.12)


Here is a decent first pass at a boot video. Please be forgiving of the artifacts of the capture setup. I may eventually put up an additional non-virtual, baremetal, fuzzy camcorder video.

This gives a basic feel for what a Fork-ZyX LiveCD/USB (or post-install) boot looks like, when utilizing my kablui preferences. After all the initial unattended bootsplash, here I walk through the main menu showing what is available, then show the music that has been baked in, and playable via rhythmbox.

Coming very soon, will be the corresponding default boot video, which highlights the baked in artwork gallery, and a default rethemed gnome desktop.

Note, that I hope this pyvnc2swf created video works for people. There is a comment from the upstream author in the javascript about possible crashes on IE. As though that were really noteworthy?? I'll try to have theora format versions up soon.
