<gzg`>SLiM patch submitted, I think. :^) <gzg`>Attempted to patch with Slim, mailing list does not seem to allow me. :^I <civodul>gzg`: it does, but the first time it takes a bit of time to get through <gzg`>civodul: Sent it again... <civodul>i can't process it right now, but i'll do it ASAP <gzg`>civodul: Cool. Anything else big needs to be done, software wise (excluding things like the EDSL) -- like packaging, before the next demo-image to be ready? *gzg` still wants to get kbd and wpa_supplicant done. <civodul>whatever you feel is missing, basically <gzg`>civodul: You know, it'd be cool if the first demo-image shipped ratpoison and the next shipped a like module in guile-wm ... :^) <gzg`>Well "first real/practical".* <gzg`>civodul: But yeah, I gotcha. <civodul>we could try to put X + slim + ratpoison, say <gzg`>civodul: Throw in Emacs, maybe Conkeror and that would cover mine an I suspect many wanting to check out such an "early" environment, pretty well. <gzg`>civodul: I'm not sure if there's a certain size restraint you want to hit though. <civodul>yeah the QEMU image should have a reasonable size <gzg`>civodul: Well, what's "reasonable" -- around 500mb? <gzg`>Like this isn't aiming to be an official "minimal" image, is it yet? <civodul>it's really just a demo image at this point <gzg`>civodul: I gotcha, just excited... :^) <gzg`>I'm probably switching over, asap on both my boxes. <zacts>yeah, how large should I make my qemu/vbox image for testing guix? <gzg`>zacts: How can you resize said image? Doesn't it not ship with tools to expand the partitions, nor the space to grab them? <zacts>I was thinking about creating an image from scratch <gzg`>zacts: How trivial is that? I've never took into it, <zacts>I guess I'll find out when I try <jxself>Why not specify the max possible? <jxself>My understanding is that the empty image will be small, using up only as much space as is actually used. <zacts>jxself: I generally like to specify the actual size due to speed <zacts>the 'grow as needed' tends to be slower for me
