BLAG - An Easy Way to Freedom?
BLAG Linux with GNU is a small one CD distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system based upon Fedora Core. The version I'm taking a look at here, BLAG-500000, is based upon Fedora Core 5, with a bunch of packages added from third party sources.
BLAG aims to create a one CD distribution with everything people need for the desktop environment. It also aims to be a 100% Free Software distribution and has been recognized by as doing this on the GNU website, along with only six other distributions of GNU/Linux (http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions).
So I thought I'd see if this distribution has what it takes to bring freedom to the desktop, without being a pain to install and use.
Installation
Once you boot the BLAG install CD, you are taken to a boot prompt. Here you can select the kernel and kernel options for the CD to use. It lets you use the function keys to gather more information on possible kernels and options to boot.
Since I wanted to conduct a graphical install, I just hit enter, but it is possible to conduct a text based install too.
