   K.C.E Live CD 1.0 is finally released :D

   Heres a laydown of what to expect...
   It is a live cd and will boot directly into a nice GUI :)
   It is built using Larch 5 scripts ..therefore , KCE live CD in theory can be also booted from
   USB..:)
   It is rather lightweight...taking about only 80 mb ram on boot up

   Previously , ( in the beta release ) It had the following key applications
   LXDM (LXDE's display manager)
   LXDE
   E17
   Shaman ( pacman gui frontend
   Arora ( webkit based Internet browser )
   Xsane
   Pcmanfm ( file manager)
   Leafpad ( Light text editor)
   Brasero ( CD/dvd writer )
   Pidgin ( A IM client)
   A small handful of tools ( tools that configure moniter resolution , the locale , keyboard layout and users )

   In This final release , It contains all previously added applications and added a few more :D
   VLC player
   Exaile music player
   Ted text editor ( it is MS doc compatible )
   Mobile Media Converter ( an easy to use Video Converter )
   Gnormalize ( Audio file converter )
   MyPaint ( a graphic/image editor :) )
   Sylpheed ( A email client )
   Xchat ( An irc client )

   And for the technically inqusitive ...
   here is the list of packages installed
   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3789720/packagelistFinal

   Thats a quite a handful of applications that were squeezed into the 667 mb iso :)

   To use the live cd ,
   Username liveuser
   password live

   To install Kahel community Edition , click on the install icon in the menus :)It shouldnt be to hard to miss it...It is a nice gui installer :)

   If in any case the installers fails to start ...type
   sudo python /opt/larchin/run/larchin.py

   So...please do give Kahel Community Edition Live CD a try :)
   here is the link

   fplolz,

   Sounds like you've been busy. I'm afraid I can't help on the dev side :-(.

   Downloading now and will report back, as usual.

   Can anyone help share the dev workload, with this promising project?

   Many thanks,

   Chris.

   If this is going to be the current release for a while, is it possible to publish a torrent link (my PC is almost always on)?

   Thanks,

   Chris.

   Hmm,

   My download keeps failing and I've deleted the previous ISO :-(. Is the server ok? If this were available as a torrent, it would be able to handle the faults, such as an interrupt to the upload/ download.

   I'll try again and let you know whether I succeed. Looks like the ISO should be 667MB.

   Thanks,

   Chris.

   Will the torrent be on the Downloads page, or should I look elsewhere?

   Thanks,

    As per earlier comment on this post, a 1.1 bug-fix image was released:

    http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/kahel-community-edition-live-cd-final-11-bug-fix-release

    You can download in the normal way, or the more reliable torrent, which I'm seeding.

    Hope this helps.

    Chris.

    Looks nice but when I tried to install it larchin gives me this error and aborts right at the stage of adding swap

    This error could not be handled.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/opt/larchin/modules/gtk/guimain.py", line 252, in changed_cb
    mainWindow.setStage(s)
    File "/opt/larchin/modules/gtk/guimain.py", line 161, in setStage
    self.mainWidget = stages[stagename].Widget()
    File "/opt/larchin/modules/stages/swaps.py", line 54, in __init__
    all = install.getAllSwaps()
    File "/opt/larchin/modules/install.py", line 473, in getAllSwaps
    swaps.append((ls[0], float(ls[1]) * 1024 / 1e9))
    ValueError: invalid literal for float(): extended
