Description:
LiveW is a Linux OS based on openSUSE (11.1 atm) which is targeted at warez users. It includes a range of programs and tools for downloading, running and viewing warez. It also has many things pre-installed and configured which you normally don't find in Linux distros such as Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc including Flash, PlayOnLinux, Wine, lots of codecs, Microsoft core fonts, working and pre-configured sub-pixel font rendering for LCD monitors etc. You don't have to remove Windows or install it in order to use, you can just boot from the CD (Live CD). Though if you like you can still easily install it to your harddrive after you booted the CD, and I would recommend doing so. Another thing worth noting is: no viruses, trojans, keyloggers, BSOD's whatsoever! However, you can still get Rick Roll'd.

Download Mirrors (Current version: 0.0.3 ALPHA):

More mirrors are welcome! If you uploaded the ISO to your server/VPS or a file host please share the link(s) in this topic, thanks :).

Changes since the last version:

  • Changed Firefox default theme to one that looks more like the Windows version.
  • Fixed issue in Firefox where it would not select the correct program for opening files.
  • Added some Firefox 'Scene Bookmarks' (More will be added later)
  • Pre-installed Firefox add-ons: AdBlock Plus, GreaseMonkey, KDST, Im4ge, IC Tools.
  • Added Ndiswrapper package.
  • Some other small config tweaks here and there.
This the last ALPHA release.

Known Issues:

  • In some cases the splash screen doesn't show while booting.
  • Sometimes the system reverts to the default openSUSE theme. If this should happen you can easliy change it again by going to Computer > Control Center > Appearance and changing the theme to LiveW 0.1.
  • Some of the openSUSE art, branding and icons hasn't been replace yet.
  • This is an ALPHA release, other issues and bugs should be expected.
Things not present yet that will be in the Final version:

  • Additional Firefox Add-ons, Bookmarks and Plugins.
  • Homebrew scene apps and some custom programs by me (for warez users).
  • A Peer-2-Peer client.
  • Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager.
  • Some other stuff which I can't think of now.

Minimum system requirements:
- Single core AMD Athlon64 or 64 bit Pentium 4 processor
- 256MB RAM, 512MB is highly recommended
- 3GB HDD (for installation)

I would personally also recommend a recent ATI or nVidia card.

1. Burn it first (Use ImageBurn its good freeware)
2. Boot it (f8 on some bioses is needed to open the boot menu)
3. Install / use it.
 
@Hyperz installl swiftfox 64bit and 64bit addons, and for the rest use nsidwrapper (or its named something like that) to wrap 64->32bit .so's

Would be a nice speed increase since JPEG rendering is 30% faster on 64bit.
 
suggestion a built in chat to connect with everyone else using it. Not sure which way you would want to go about it. Not sure if you want this.
 
Not a bad idea. But like most other suggestion It'll have to wait till I get all currently planned stuff in there.

Click to expand...

ndiswrapper was already included in the latest 0.0.3 snapshot :p. But it's the 1st time I hear of swiftfox. Is that a fork of the FF source? I'll look it to it.

@Dean, reboot your PC with the CD/DVD in your drive. It should boot the CD instead of your harddrive. If it doesn't let me know.
 
Once booted, logout. That will take you to the login screen. Choose login as other user, as name type "root", password is "linux". See if it gets auto-mounted as root. There are some policies that are not yet fine tuned for non-root accounts.
 
Oh I think I know what the problem is. It might be because of Windows as the error states. I've had this issue before, in simple terms Windows is not allowing you to use this device. You might be able to mount it if you unplug/uninstall it in Windows before booting LiveW. If you try that do it as root again. Windows can be a bitch when it comes to harddrives. They clearly love Linux, lol.
 
Not uninstall Windows lol, uninstall the harddrive in Windows. Boot windows with the harddrive plugged in, click on the safely remove icon in the taskbar, unplug the harddrive, reboot into livew, plug the harddrive back in.
 
Lmfao alryt thanks Deigo.. Is there any risk of losing the documents on the HD when i remove it from windows? I got alot of work/movie/tunes on it and don't want to lose it.
