Pervasive could however, contribute to the PostgreSQL SPI fund to help pay for
the cds if they like. It is tax deductible.

We'll probably have a last version of the CD ready today, although
it is lacking a bit into the example databases department. It has
procedural languages, but you need to enable them when you create a
database. There is currently no example database using procedural
languages on the iso.

We'll check out some of the other live cd's for example db's for a
very last release i think, although we did seem to have trouble
locating them.

If someone has a bundle of nice example databases lying around ->
please mail me!

Joshua, when do you need the master image?

Koen

Why not add the languages to template1 so that they are created automatically?

The pagila sample database has sql and plpgsql functions, a custom aggregate
and custom domain, and optionally tsearch2 as well. You can get it from the

Build A Brighter LAMP :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

Guys,

I'm announcing that I'm on the tailend of completing my own implementation of
pg_live. It's based on Ubuntu so it has full installation capabilities if
the user wants it.

The full version weighs in around 720mb but that's going to drop after I have
removed the language packages that aren't required in an English only
environment.

There's a lot of documentation that I've added in added to the standard
reference documentation. All of which is accesible through its own http
webserver.

Here's an excerpt of the iso's README file:

===============================
FEATURES
Pg_live is a sophisticated environment that runs a number of services on
bootup and includes:

- Apache, which is enabled with PHP
- SSH server thus allowing secure logins from other workstations that are on
the same network
- PostgreSQL, version 8.1.4
- pgpool, the PostgreSQL connection pool daemon

The PostgreSQL server has been preconfigured with the following procedural
languages:
plpgsql
plr
plperl
plperlu
plpythonu
pltcl
pltclu
plphp
plphpu

The following interpretative programing languages are included:
perl
python
R
tcl
PHP

OTHER
- Postgresql contributions
- SLONY (with lots of example scripts)

POSTGRESQL CLIENTS AND UTILITIES
pgadmin3
phppgadmin
psql

The console based web-browser, ELINKS, is ideal when running in "console only"
mode. Thus permitting access to otherwise inaccesible GUI features such as
pg_live's Apache PHP client, phppgadmin, and of course the included reference
documentation.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
- GUI, 160MB RAM (default boot, all services running)
- GUI, 125MB RAM (runlevel 4, no services running)
- CONSOLE, 55MB RAM (single user mode, runlevel 1, no services running)
- CONSOLE, 90MB RAM (runlevel 3, all services running)

Hello,

I have been working on getting a company to press the cd's for us. I am fairly
certain I have been successful but, we can NOT delay the delivery of the ISO.
We are already pushing it by giving only two weeks for them.

So everyone knows:

QTY: 2000 cds
White Envelope with Window
Insertion included in cost
Full color label with blue elephant

Based on all of this, I would ask that I have the ISO no later then thursday
if possible.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

I see this as a good thing that the community has a choice. After all, Ubuntu
doesn't boot up into everything and knoppix doesn't either.

Providing something for the community is never a waste of time or money.

Well, let me know which one you prefer. The stuff we've been working
on, or the one based on ubuntu. We can have the ISO ready by
tomorrow, incorporating most of the comments on this list. But only
if it makes sense. If the ubuntu one is going to be used, i'm not
going to put more effort in this. I hate doing work that is only a
duplication of what others are doing, that gives me no satisfaction
at all.

Surely not... It's a good thing to get fresh faces involved with
this.

A "nice to have" would be for there to be two CDs with somewhat
varying intents. If discussion over the last year means anything,
there is a desire for there to be a FreeBSD-based "live CD," and if
that emerges, it seems an excellent idea to have a choice of both a
Linux-based option and a FreeBSD-based option. Nothing wrong with
that.

And I have the perfect candidate, Dru Lavigne. She just this week completed a multi install dvd where you can choose to install either FreeBSD, DragonFly, Open or Net BSD and that includes all the documentation for each distro AND the latest material for the BSDcertification initiative.

Why not ask her, she'll be at the conference this weekend?

Hi!

I've been working with Koen on the Knoppix based postgres live CD...
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, recent changes:

* procedual languages are installed into the template1 db.

* The pgfoundry example databases (paglia, world) were already
installed on last weeks iso. - now I added a unzipped version so that
a user low on RAM can read the .sql files without extracting them...)

* improved support for non X11 mode. (gpm, auto-start
doc.browser on tty1,..)

* many minor fixes (new splash screen, replacement for the low-res
pgadmin3 icon, updatedb, kde config,...)

stay tuned. I'm just uploading the new image.

I'm still downloading it. so I can't comment on it, yet.

Reading 'tru the Ubuntu pg-live feature list. I find that it has about
the same Features as our knoppix pg-live but the Knoppix variant is
somewhat more lightweight:

- in runlevel 2 requires only 32 MB RAM
- and runlevel 5 (X+KDE) works from about 100 MB

- apache + pgphpadmin, sshd,... are installed but not started by
default. (there's even a start button in the KDE menu for 'em ;-)

- procedural lang support seems to be identical (perl,tcl,php,r,python)
and so are the various contrib packages (slony, tsearch2, pgpool,...)

> It's based on Ubuntu so it has full installation capabilities if

knoppix can install itself, too (create persistant disk-image Button in
the KDE menu) - I don't want to start an Ubuntu vs. Knoppix thread
now... but AFAICT the Knoppix autoconfiguration is suitable for more
Systems than Ubuntu...

If your doc is not specific the ubuntu-live-cd it would be great if we
can include them.. - I'd also be interested in the slony example scripts
that you mention.

gpm is a good idea; I find it very usefull

I'm curious too :-)

Yeah, the first time I develop pg_live (2yrs ago) I thought in terms of downloading the iso off the internet. This time around it's more about completeness.

another good idea i.e. make sure the user knows he has a choice

Did you create an R environment for plr?

It's been a year since I looked at knoppix, has it become easier to install?

I wanted to try out Xubuntu just for the fun of it (it uses squashfs as opposed to the knoppix cloop).

The biggest difference I found was the simplicity of installing Xubuntu as a working system. The distro has a cool bootup sequence.

The documentation is part of my writings written for various publications from the past few years. You may use my articles but please keep my copyright on them.

Another request, please do not change the text without first consulting with me (after all this is my bread and butter).

Be advised pg_live includes documentation from one other author, the R tutorial.

I would like to see the development of a standard set of documentation for future live-cds and see about getting them translated into other languages thus enabling non-english venues with a live cd. Perhaps doing it in French could be the next translation. Comments?

cheers

Robert

There's a note on the "Notes" page of the html doc. - maybe a Desktop
icon would be more suitable ;)
I'll fix that later tonight (CEST) - I'll redo the pg-live knoppix iso
image again - the current (rev08) has a small Bug: every item in the
KDE-knoppix menu is duplicated. :(

not really. I was thinking of installing lapack and the various
available debian packages, but was scared about diskspace (now I might
want to get back and install some of 'em.)

I didn't try it myself.

I agree - the current doc we included is definitly just tentative.
(it is located on the container-iso separated from the system-image-iso,
so it's also easy to change) - but given the tight deadline, I didn't
bother to cook something up, yet: we could start a cvs/svn repo on
pgfoundry or use a wiki to collect the content...

and yes: If we're gonna keep 200MB of language support files to the iso,
we should at least translate the welcome screen of the pg_live
documentation :)

Joshua ( or anyone else ) where can I find an 'approved' CD label? I'd
like to burn a few CDs for passing around to the local Linux user group
and computer/tech community.

Robert,

I'm unhappy that you're doing your own, separate live-cd and not
collaborating with Koen or Robin at all. Is there a good reason for this?

Bonjour Guillaume,

Do you have a copy of the CD with the documentation?

I would say the first step is to acquire the the french language version of the postgresql pages and install them onto the CD. The next step is to configure the bookmarks on the browser for a franco version.

We then have to configure the boot up sequence to automatically choose the correct set of documents when the live CD boots up i.e. synchronize the locale with the language options currently available with the CDs at boot up time.
