TikiLiveCD

A new version 0.4 including the official Tiki 2.0 stable (August 11th 2008) preinstalled is here. Feedback is welcome:

ftp://ftp.rediris.es/mirror/gclub/Slax-TikiLiveCD_v0.4c.iso (370 Mb)

Still todo:

• Add link from tw installs to see the included videos and screencasts in the live CD

• You need to download the .iso file, and burn a CD with it through your favorite .iso burning application (K3b, Brasero, Nero, Easy CD Recorder, ...). Then, insert the recorded CD on the CD drive and ensure that your computer is able to boot from the CD before booting from the hard drive. You might need to access your BIOS settings to change boot sequence, if the TikiLiveCD does not start automatically.
• Root user of the GNU/Linux system and its MySQL is:
  • user: root
    password: toor
• Admin users on that tiki are:
  • user: root
    password: toor
  • user: admin
    password: nimda
    (following the same convention of users and passwords as Slax does. Nevertheless, firefox was saved remembering admin password for easiness of testing on the Live CD)
• TikiTests can be recorded but not played back, due to missing packages on the base Slax 0.5x live CD where this TikiLiveCD is based upon.

Screenshots

00: After booting your computer from this CD, you'll see this welcome screen. Wait some seconds

01: the Tiki Live CD will load automatically

02: Once fully loaded, you need to login as user 'root' and password 'toor' (see screen)

03: Nowadays your are looged in, and you need to start de X windows

04: Type 'startx' and hit ENTER

05: The KDE (graphical windows) starts

If you cannot start the X windows properly, try executing 'xconf' on the terminal prior to attempting to start the X windows, to try to autoconfigure your graphics card for better performance on your system. Note: This Live CD based on Slax 5.1.8 is known not to work on most recent monitors (flat panels, etc.).

06: Congratulations: TikiLiveCD is up & running nicely!

07: Once you click on the Tiki icon on the left of the screen, you'll start Tiki

Note: Admin users on that tiki are:

Moreover, Firefox was saved remembering the admin password for easiness of testing on the Live CD

08: There are some other Extra goodies bundled, like manuals and video tutorials. Go to the Home icon on the upper left corner, and open folder Extra

09: Example of one of the bundled videos and screencasts for viewing offline. See more online at http://tikiwiki.org/TikiMovies

10: There also some utilities to allow creating a new iso file from this one, or to create a TikiLiveUSB stick out of this TikiLiveCD

01phpmyadmin: Phpmyadmin is also included to easily manage your database through a web interface

11: You can save your changes onto a new module .mo so that they can be recovered at new startup once you save them under your modules directory, when using a TikiLiveUSB

12: To exit, right click on the screen, click on Log Out root, and on the terminal window, type shutdown
