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.

Notice: Default user/root password is linux
Notice: Use at your own risk! This is ALPHA software.
Notice: Remember that you need to install your graphics card drivers for better performance

Remember:
This is not MY project, this is everbody's project! B-)
Share it, spread the word and contribute where possible!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did developing it. Peace.

Glad it solved the problem. Not a bug then since it was Windows fault. 2 more small notes btw, by default the live-cd uses 16-bit color mode, and, most stuff will run rather slow until it is actually installed to the harddrive and gfx card drivers get installed.
 
Alryt.. Everything running pretty fast for me :P
Question : Whenever i turn my computer on i have to f12 - boot disc to get into the LiveW OS.. if there anyway to make it my main OS?
 
If you install it to your harddrive you can use it as main OS. Also if you keep booting the live cd none of the settings get saved since you cant write changes to a CD :p.

@Killer: into what? Firefox is pre-installed =/
 
Tiny update, how Firefox 3.5.5 will look in LiveW 0.0.3:

Version 0.0.3 will also be the last ALPHA, after that the version will be bumped up to 0.1.1 and it'll be Beta.
 
Is katz downloads submit tool relavent to the average warez user? (Also its kinda shit)
Also, what about that jDownloader addon for FF? Oh yeah, and jDownloader its self...

Also, does this use XFCE?
 
@ ddlshack: Nope but it is for most people who are currently trying/using LiveW (WJ members). About jDownloader, it was already suggested and might get added. And it's Gnome.

@ Danny.M: Has also been suggested. And I decided to stick with the normal Firefox for now. Still, if someone really wants to use it it shouldn't be a problem for them to remove FF and install SF. :)
 
Hyperz.. I done that live installation but when to boot from disc it gives a black screen saying Booting from disc. but never loads it.
 
That's odd, didn't have any issues here installing it.

try this from the Live CD

Open the GNOME Terminal
Type "su -"
Will ask for the root password (linux)
now type "parted"
and now "print"

That will display your partition setup. Select the text in the Terminal and paste it here.
 
as they noted above for you to remove katz submitter, I wouldnt. Reason? The warez os your making should be for all levels of warez. For warez web masters, warez posters, and warez leechors.
 
Ok.. I tryd re-installing it and got this error:

Click to expand...

I ignored it and carried on with the installation.. Tell you if it worked in a lil bit..

To Be Continued..... lol.
