This directory contains MontanaLinux and MontanaEnterpriseLinux (MEL).
What are MontanaLinux and MEL?MontanaLinux is a remix of Fedora and is an installable, LiveDVD image.How do these remixes differ from the distro releases they are based on?
MontanaEnterpriseLinux is a remix of Enterprise Linux and is an installable, LiveDVD image.
For MEL there are two flavors - CentOS 6.0 and Scientific Linux 6.0
All iso images are under 2GB and should fit on a 2GB LiveUSB just fine.
Also in this directory are the GPG and m5sum files used for verifying the authenticity of the builds by me.MontanaLinux has all of the updates that were available on the build date and includes all of the desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, etc) and managers with KDE being the default. Also installed are a number of desktop applications (LibreOffice, GIMP, Inscape, Scribus, Dia, etc) as well as third-party stuff from rpmfusion (vlc, mplayer, etc) and the Adobe flash-plugin. The 64-bit build includes the KVM virtualization packages.Not happy with the package selection, remix your own!

Also included are a number of desktop applications (OpenOffice, GIMP, Inscape, etc) as well as third-party stuff from rpmforge (vlc, etc) and EPEL (Xfce, livecd-creator, etc) and the Adobe flash-plugin. The 64-bit builds include the KVM virtualization packages.You can find the kickstart configs used to build these remixes inside the config directory.Examples:
Everything needed to build your own remix is included. Just look in:
/root/livecd-creator/MontanaLinux/
or
/root/livecd-creator/MontanaEnterpriseLinux/
There you will find the configs and branding artwork I used. Feel free to modify them as desired and build your own. Be sure to change the repositories used to either your own local mirror or an official mirror for the distro used.
The
makeisofile contains the commandline used to generate the iso. Make sure to editmakeisoso your iso filename comes out as desired.Enjoy,MontanaLinux-F14-165-i686.iso
That would be a 32-bit remix based on Fedora 14. It is the 65th rebuild.
Rebuilds are done periodically as updates are released.
MEL-SL6-109-x86_64.iso
That would be the 64-bit remix based on Scientific Linux 6. It is the 9th rebuild.
MEL-C6-101-x86_64.iso
That would be the 64-bit remix based on CentOS 6. It is the 1st rebuld.
