CruxEX 2012 Live CD

CruxEX 2012 Linux Live CD is based on CRUX 2.7.1 (latest version), which is all Linux enthusiasts/nerds favorite OS. (CRUX is a lightweight, i686-optimized Linux distribution targeted at Experienced Linux users). CruxEX 2012 [version 120502] uses the Xfce 4.10 Desktop environment (released 120428). I have replaced the original Crux kernel 2.6.39.4 with "my" special kernel 3.3.4-exton, with support for "extra everything".

Kernel 3.3.4 is the latest available stable kernel as of 120502. Among all installed applications are Firefox 12.0, Gimp, Thunderbird 12.0, Geany and Wicd. Furthermore compilation tools so that you can install programs from source.

Unique
CruxEX is - as my previous Crux-remasters EXTON-CR LXDE and EXTON-CR KDE - unique in the world. I.e. there is no other CRUX Live CD in any language (as far as I know). In any case, not for downloading.

Kernel with support for almost anything
If you have a new or/and unusual hardware you should try CruxEX. This is because the system (using kernel 3.3.4) supports "all forms of" hardware.

Default language
The default language (locale) is set to English.

Keyboard
The default keyboard layout is American (us). Change it by running the command setxkbmap se (for Sweden) or click on the flag in the panel. To make it permanent change /etc/rc.conf.

For people with a newer Nvidia graphics card
I have installed Nvidia's proprietary graphics driver 295.40. To use it, run as root the command nvidia-xconfig. Then, log out from Xfce 4.10 and back again. Now things look better, right?

Install to hard disk with Cruxex Installer
CruxEX can be installed to the hard drive in live mode with Cruxex Installer, which can be expected to be perceived as positive by some. CRUX - the original system - contains neither Xfce, Fluxbox, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, or any other Desktop environment. Please read my INSTALL Instructions.

Install CruxEX to USB stick
Use the program CruxEX2usb or this method, which is the best one.

Login to Xfce
When you start up your computer from the disc you will end up in console mode. Login as the ordinary user live or as root (superuser) with password live respectively root. Then run the command startx to enjoy X and Xfce 4.10.
