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.

Remember:
This is not MY project, this is everbody's project! B-)
Share it, spread the word and contribute where possible!

Something is going wrong with the harddrive detection I think. I assume you get the error when booting? And I also assume your external harddrive is plugged in while installing? If it is, unplug it, boot the CD, reinstall and reboot with the external hard-drive disconnected.

Edit: 0.0.3 will be out today or tomorrow.
 
God damnz. I want a fully working version. When I see good reviews about this and fully working reviews...I will download and install and dualboot with Ubuntu.

This IS fully working =/. I have it installed myself (triple boot). But like with everything there will always be a few people that run into trouble for whatever reason. For 9 out of 10 people there should be no problem.

Add icsnap and MPB =)
it'll be easy :) i'll try the new OS on vmware (:

Both are not compatible with Mono (means they don't run on Linux) yet. I'm not sure if Jay is going to 'fix' that or not. Best thing is to ask him.

Actually, with Ad Block Plus shipping with Firefox as of 0.0.3 you can easily add the rick roll blocklist ;).
 
You can't do anything with Windows except change a few settings and do some registry hacks. To implement the idea behind LiveW you need a fully open sourced system. Also, you can still use icSnap and MPB trough Wine on LiveW if you really want to. As a last point, Windows is to insecure for people who deal with warez daily, AV software doesn't change that.
 
Yeah that is true. But still I had a soft sometime back with which we were able to edit the softs and stuffs
and yeah not really safe. But if we dont save any pass + downloads soft from trusted place then it'll be aswm :) but still it will phail some day >_>

I get that error when im at the finally stage of using the Live Installer. I've tryd re-booting etc.. & unplugging external HD when installing makes no difference.
 
Must have something to do with your Windows again then. God I hate vendor lockins X-(.

Try this, I'm fairly sure it will help:
Install it again and when the installer reaches this point:

Click on the blue Boot link. On that page click the boot loader installation tab and make sure these are selected:

Make sure the boot from master boot record is checked. That should fix the booting by replacing the Windows boot record with Grub. Then just click ok and continue installation as normal.
 
Hyperz with the release of 0.0.3 will i need to re-download then re-install it onto my HD?
I got the first verison to work :D
 
Yup clean install. I know it's not fun for those who _always_ want to have the latest version installed but it is impossible for me to offer a full system update option.

So did you get it to work via my Master Boot Record suggestion then?

Edit: You can easily skip 0.0.3 btw, the only noticeable changes there will be in Firefox.
 
Yup Hyperz.. The master boot record done the trick and got rid of that bug i was getting.. & Il guess il skip that then cause i don't really need any add-ons etc.. for FireFox.. One thing though when i try to open programs that i have downloaded/from my External HD then won't open and give me a command output line error and opens a archive manager?
 
Yes, that's a known issue and is stated on the 1st post. Temporary solution is not to open files via firefox but to browse to the download folder and open them there.

This issue has been addressed in fixed in 0.0.3, there it will now auto select the best program to open/view.

Oh and since you have it installed on your HDD, don't forget about your video card drivers :p.
