Backpack

In order to modify Backpack in linux, there are two ways to make changes. The easiest is to get a program like isomaster and to directly modify the .iso image with it.

The second method is to mount the CD image and copy the contents to a separate directory. When you are ready to create another .iso image, simply call the make_iso.sh file with the new .iso file's name as a parameter ("./make_iso.sh backpack-modified.iso").

Rohan pointed out a few bugs on the live-cd (thanks!), so this is an
attempt to fix those problems. The update is only 9.4MB, and this is
what it fixes:

• Fixed javac script to use gcj
• Patched liblinuxlive on ramfs to fix additional module support
• Removed mplayer (It wanted Samba, which is only on the DVD)
• Added Xine and Gxine as alternates to Totem
• Added some basic AppArmor profiles
• Updated FireFox profile and added JSView extension for web developers

May 29, 2006 (0.4 Beta)

• Uploaded the DVD version (no guarantees)
• A full Slackware install
• A full Dropline Gnome install
• Several extras, including programming tutorials
• All of the mods that went into the CD

This was a couple builds before the DVD release, but shows what packages are in which modules as well as a few stats which are still accurate (especially regarding the CD). Disregard the "Disk space used temporarily" statistic though. That one wasn't accurate due to a few last-minute changes made to the build script, and should be closer to "800M" than "1M".
