Welcome To The Mirrors Project

Mirrors is my attempt at creating a remix or respin of Ubuntu.   Although this first phase is nothing more than a customization of the included packages and changing of default themes and wallpaper.  The goal for this release was to get in the range of using 100 mb of ram in the initial liveCD boot. It is close, but still needs work.

It currently only exists as a script for use by UCK.   Among the major things it removes are:
  • Evolution
  • Tomboy
  • F-Spot
  • Pulseaudio
  • Gnome-pilot
  • Screensavers
  • Bluetooth
  • Virtual Terminals 2 - 6.  Saves about 10 megs on livecd
This is not necessarily because I think these are "bad".  It's just I don't use them and am tired of them taking up space / memory / processor cycles. 
Have a comment? Question?  Ask it at my blog post.

The customize script is below.  You can use with UCK or by running on another machine running Jaunty with Gnome. Note: It will force to remove things that might be required for other things you have installed. In either case use at your own risk.
