Updated version that fixes a little bug at very first start!
"Author" is a release for productive writing, quick note-taking, planning and organizing, featuring the extremely simple tinywm, and as addition, the improved SmallWM. This comes now with kernel 3.12 for 486 processors, but 686 and 686-PAE kernels can be easily added.
Features:
- tinywm / smallwm sessions
- vim full suite, including the fountain mode
- emacs24, with howm
- pandoc and markdown for document processing
- various applications for note-taking and planning
- all known BBQ tools, non-free firmware and drivers included
- noX session with emacs, vi or tmux
- framebuffer session
- new Xresources schemes (run "dkeger") and "mkmnt" fstab/mount script added
Keybinds:
Press Alt-F2 for an extensive 9menu popping up.
Alt-F3 opens dmenu.
Alt-Enter opens a new terminal.
Alt-F7 onscreen sysinfo
Alt-F8/F9/F10/F11 open alsamixer, volume up, volume down, volume toggle
Please refer to smallwm and tinywm's manpages.
No GTK dependencies, no qt packages. Very low resource usage, fits a small USB stick (512MB) without problems. Download size ~366MB, expands to 1.1GB and is perfectly suitable for low-end netbooks. Boot speed can be improved by installing systemd libpam-systemd.
The .xinitrc file is replaced by a wrapper called /usr/bin/start-wm -- please edit this file accordingly. By default, the startup opens several applications for a quick entry.
username and password are "bbq", install with "sudo bbqinstaller" or run live from a stick.

Re: TINYWM: Author (486) Release News
Being an author, you'd think that I would have homed in on this like a missile, but maybe I missed it because I was only skimming anything not amd-64. I'd been thinking of doing something just like this with Spring, but you beat me to it.
I'll bring all my authorial skills to bear and see if I can break it driving full-speed at night with my lights off.

Yeah, well, I did break it, bigger than squat. Locked me up solid, and I'm not sure why. I was playing around with the layout in start-wm and something I did locked it up solid. I've still got it on the stick, so I can try again later.

Little hint: every line should have a & at the end (except the last line that executes the window manager)
