G-Key Manual

In this page, there are a few things that will be explained here:

  1. First, a document explaining where to start from, I have no clue about that, is extracting the iso and modifying the files enough or do we need anything more?
  2. Second, a document about what kind of changes need to be made to add English/Chinese support to the image (and remove French, Dutch and any other not needed languages). I think it should include:
    1. How to have Chinese as the default language for the initialization phase
    2. How to have SCIM installed by default
    3. How to have all the fonts and resource files that are needed to display the menus and the system applications in Chinese
    4. How to have Chinese help files packages when they exist (e.g. for OOo)
    5. How to remove the applications we don't want and add those we do want.
    6. … and probably some more things I am not thinking about right, guys please add what is missing
  3. Third, how to produce the .iso once the changes are all made.

How to write the IMG back to G-Key

we provide three ways to let you write the img back to g-key: - if you get a DVD iso, you may burn it into a DVD disk, then insert the DVD into a windows machine, there has a application named gdium-installer.exe, click and run it. - you can mount the iso file under any linux distribution, and change into the iso, there has a dir named linux, change into it, run a scripts named gdium-installer.sh with root privilege.

mount -o loop xxxxxxx.iso /path/to/mount

- mount the iso file, and uncompress the img file with gunzip img_200xxxx_16G.raw.gz, it will need a lot of time depends on your machine, later you will have it uncompressed, use

 dd if=img_200xxxx_16G.raw of=/dev/sd[a|b|c] bs=4M

How to backup your g-key

- backup you g-key under linux, after you have everything configure well with your g-key, you may backup the whole g-key, if you have problem with it, just write it back, then you will get a well configured system, you may use dd to do it

 dd if=/dev/sd[a|b|c] | gzip > xxxxx.img.gz
