Hi, We still need system images and graphics. If nobody will do these, all you will get at August Pengiun will be a blank business card sized CD (or maybe a CD with Win98 rescue system :-) ) , and it will be kind of sad, wouldn't it?

Good initial pointers for the interested are: http://www.lnx-bbc.org/ - LNX BBC site. http://www.goosee.com/puppy/ - puppy linux http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ - damn small linux http://www.morphix.org/ - morphix, a highly costumizable Live CD linux distro. http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php - a list of live linux CDs distros All of them are trimmed down linux distributions, which are small enough to fit in a business card shaped CD, and most of them has documentation for remastering. The subject that are IMHO are the most important for an Hebrew version of a business card shaped CD are: A) Hebrew FONTS - most of these distribution has, for disk space reasones, removed the Hebrew fonts from the system, making it completly impossible to use Hebrew enabled application. Adding Hebrew fonts will do wonders in this aspect. B) Making sure that the base compoments are Hebrew Enabled (i.e. ISO 8859-8 translation table in the Kernel, gtk 2.x or a recent QT, with Hebrew support enabled) C) Enabeling the keyboard mapping stuff in the X server. D) Putting some small applications to demonstrate the Hebrew support. II) Graphics to print on the CDs - make it look pretty, and include the AP logo.
