CRUX-Evolution (Taranta) 2.0.1 README ----- Copyright (c) 2001-2003 by Per Lidén (for CRUX) Copyright (c) 2003-2004 by Coviello Giuseppe and www.crux-it.org ----- A LITTLE DESCRIPTION CRUX-Evolution offers you a complete desktop system: it has gnome and kde, all is needed to use the printer, the alsa packages, and OpenOffice.org. The packages from base and opt collection are, almost, the same of CRUX 2.0 (bash, gcc and filesystem are differents from that you can find in CRUX 2.0 : bash has a different "/etc/profile"; gcc has the support for fortran; filesystem has a differents "/etc/issue" and "/usr/bin/crux"); the tool ports is replaced here by ilenia (it has the same function of ports and some new functions: you can select your favorite repository or version for some ports and you can obtain the lists of ports that are newer that the installed ones instead only that with different version; read the ports-evolution man pages to learn more about it). From the 2.0 version, there are also gtk1 (and related packages) in the shared collection. INSTALL CRUX-Evolution has the same install procedure of CRUX, then you have to read the CRUX handbook to learn how to install it. The setup script of CRUX-Evolution is a little different from the setup script of CRUX: 1. CRUX-Evolution's setup script shows the packages to install splitted in categories (eight categories: base, opt, alsa, printing, shared, gnome, kde, oo) 2. CRUX-Evolution's setup script has a check-dependency tool that, after the selection of packages to install, checks the dependency of all packages that are going to install. Warning, setup only shows you (if there are) the unresolveds dependencies, it doesn't install automatically any packages. UPDATE Use update only if you have installed CRUX-Evolution 2.0, if you have yet installed CRUX 2.0 you have to select "EVOLVE" (see above); if it's installed CRUX-Evolution 1.3.1 isn't very safe to update: is better to do a new installation. For update you have to mount the partition(s) where is installed CRUX-Evolution 2.0, do setup and when it asks you the action to perform you have to select update. EVOLVE With setup you can "evolve" your CRUX 2.0 system, to evolve your system you have to mount the partition where is installed CRUX 2.0, do setup and when setup asks you if you want to install, update or evolve, you have to select evolve.
