Lena Linux

Quick Description

Lena Linux is a system that makes it possible to create your own games, applications, and movies (with your own music, sound effects, graphics, objects, and video) entirely from scratch, using only the tools provided with the distribution.

It can be booted from a 4 Gigabyte flash or SD card, and then optionally installed to a hard drive or other medium. No network access or updates should be specifically needed (although these can certainly be helpful.)

In the future I will be providing tutorials to document the creative process.

See the README for more information.

Just discovered that the restart process wasn't properly unmounting the root partition because of left-over processes (that used to be killed automatically?) I've made a new rc.restart that should hopefully fix this, see "FIX 1" in the docs/FIXES file. This is almost surely what caused the file corruption issues previously.

The next release should be much better, including much updated software, including XFCE 4.10.

Lena 3.3.3-fix1 is now available.
The initial release contained a broken "/usr/include/wchar.h" (needed for most C/C++ source code compilation.)

Update: "/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkx.h" is also broken (zero sized), but it's not used by much software (and it shouldn't, X is being deprecated by Wayland, etc.) If you need it, it is available in the gnome-2.txz file from the source archive. I'll make a more detailed explanation in docs/FIXES eventually. I can only assume I have some sort of filesystem issue on my devel machine that is responisble, and I apollogize for not noticing earlier.
