Project Update 02

15 August 2006

Work on 0.1 Alpha 2 is underway. Currently the top priorities are fixing the boot menu removal bug, and making QBoot easier to install globally. qboot.conf is now split into a global config file which tells qboot where to find modules and any other key files, and a user copy of qboot.conf which is basically […]

Alpha 0.1 released

4 August 2006

The moment you’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. QBoot 0.1 alpha 1 (codenamed echo) is available on Sourceforge for downloading. Unfortunately I was not able to make all the packages I had intended, but the source tarballs should be fine for now. There is three tarballs for different purposes. The one with global […]

Code near complete

31 July 2006

The finishing touches were put on the menu editor module today. The last task that remains (at least with the code) is to add an option to load the menu editor from the boot menu and the code is finished. One problem I ran in to was that everything is being run from the current […]

Alpha release comming soon!

29 July 2006

With the menu editor module being almost complete the alpha should be released any time now. All that’s left to do is to add the remove image functionallity to the menu editor and complete the install documentation. Along with the alpha I hope to release a second demo and rpm, deb, and slackware (tgz) as […]

Project Update 01

27 July 2006

I’m glad to see that QBoot has finally started to pick up some web traffic, and that the number of downloads have shot through the roof over the past week or two. I’ve been busy rearranging and rewriting old code to keep it better organized and maintainable.
The QBoot launch script is now a container for […]

Desktop Integration

13 July 2006

I was thinking about other things that could be done further down the road with QBoot and desktop integration . Can QBoot even integrate? What are somethings that could be done to make QBoot blend in more with KDE, GNOME, Fluxbox, XFCE, and Enlightenment. (0.16 or 0.17)
Leave a comment if you have any opinions or […]

SVN Repository’s Up

7 July 2006

The SVN repository for QBoot are now active. I’ll try to commit source code at least once a day if any changes are made. So If you want bleeding edge sources, feel free to check it out. I also want to remind you that we have a forum that is provided by the Sourceforge.net staff. […]

Whoops!

7 July 2006

After checking the QBoot download section on Sourceforge I realized that the demo had the name QLaunch on it. This was the origional name that was used before the project was submitted to Sourceforge. The name QLaunch was taken by another project at the time, so the name was changed to QBoot. The names on […]

Alpha day near!

6 July 2006

Final work is being put onto the “create new image” script. After that is completed, adding a new choice to the boot menu should be a snap. After those two tasks are completed an alpha of version 0.1 will be released hopefully by the end of the week.
