| + | Starting from rcolistete's "wheezy" upgrade of Sulu's Scientific image, this is a bells-and-whistles image (warning: bloatware) with lots of multimedia software thrown in. |

- | === Preamble ===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | This image starts from rcolistete's "wheezy" Scientific image (thanks!) and aims to be a bells-and-whistles image (warning: possible bloatware) with lots of new multimedia software thrown in. In particular, this includes MP3 tagging and renaming software, audio file format converters, normaliser, audio editor and a variety of MP3 players and organisers.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ==== Key aims ====
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | * Advanced MP3 functionality to complement the use of the N900 as a mobile music player, including MP3 taggers, validators, renamers, normalisers, file format converters etc.
| + | |
- | * Maintain the expected core functionality of Easy Debian, i.e. LibreOffice, GIMP, etc.
| + | |

- | | + | |
- | ==== Package selection ====
| + | |
- | Packages are largely selected from Debian "wheezy", except where dependencies on a newer version of PulseAudio would prohibit this. Therefore, the image is an injudicious mixture of oldstable, stable and testing. Packages are selected on a best effort basis to avoid unmet dependencies.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ==== Disk image ====
| + | |
- | The disk image has been enlarged to 4GB in size (well, 4GB minus one byte), which is the largest file that will fit on a FAT32 filesystem, and converted (well, copied over) to an ext4 filesystem. The use of ext4 means that you will require a relatively recent kernel-power & CSSU to mount and use the image, but it does offer slight performance advantages over ext3.
