MAIN EDITION: Tiny (i686) Release News
LinuxBBQ is proud to announce the immediate availability of "Tiny", the de-facto no-X base release and Main Edition on LinuxBBQ.
Tiny and Bass replace Boner and Virgin.
It is recommended to prepare a partition before booting into the live session. If you are comfortable with the command line, you can use cfdisk to create a free partition. Inside of the live session you can install Tiny with
sudo bbqinstaller
There are no config files (except newsbeuter's urls file that downloads the upgrade warnings), so please refer to the manpages.
All locales beside en_US are removed. To get your language, please purge localepurge and follow the instructions there.
Boots into a tmux session. Ctrl + A is the hotkey.
New CLI additions are:
- joe (editor)
- tapecalc (tape calculator)
- iftop (NIC viewer)
- glances (process viewer)
- nload (network usage viewer)
- powertop (power usage monitor)
- vifm (vi-like file manager)
Download, as usually, at sourceforge, in the no-X folder

wow, looks nice - noX, time to cut my teeth. (expect the support board to be spammed!)
Re: Tiny (i686) Release News
The md5 posted on SF does not match the downloaded ISO. I tried three pulls to be sure that it wasn't an error on my side. All 3 md5 checksums matched each other, but not the provided.
Can I get verification that SF got the upload correctly?

Hi,
SF sometimes pauses/stops the upload, so never follow the "Latest ISO" link, but rather go into the specific folder and get it from there.

Had tried both the no-X directory and the quick-link earlier, same result from both. Just pulled from a different location (network) and everything is perfectly fine.
Thanks for verifying.

Crap, I knew I'd seen that somewhere there was a mention of a bad link. I didn't see that it was on the same thread I was reading! I'm blind.
Redid the Sourceforge download, was 236 (but shows a 207 in Chromium) instead of 256, still gives a bad md5sum. The mirror links seem to give the same result.
DebianJoe has a bit about pulling from a network connection to get it. If that's not one of the mirror links on SF, what is it? The 'direct link' and 'mirror' all show 207m.

The "network" I'm talking about was a wifi connection vs. my home Ethernet.

There's nothing wrong with the SF mirrors. The initial upload was broken. Re-upping. Sorry for inconvenience.
