This is the base package for the minimal joborun installation.
Make sure you choose a kernel and bootloader before you attempt your first boot and also run
jobo-setup as root to ensure proper minimal configuration.
________
For a minimal chroot pkg building environment install jobbot.
________
What you initially get is a console non graphic system, but we have a setup script in the tarball's
user's home directory (/home/make/) that you can choose between an openbox or Jwm bundle, if this is
what you like. Of course you are free to install whatever environment you like from Obarun, Arch,
OUR and AUR repositories. It is just that we are not willing to support and assist in anything
beyond the minimalistic installation of a window manager and this without a Display Manager and its
complications.
________
As other distros condition their users with a ton of packages and graphic eye candy we will try
to de-condition our users by showing an alternative route of doing what you really want to do
with the least possible complications. For example, if the only reason you use the system is to
use something like an office-suite to create and publish documents, all you may need is something
like vtwm, where you can spread out a huge area of documents and data, and something like
Libre-Office. You can boot into a system requiring 120-150MB of Ram and get to work, without
the overhead of a login-manager, a display-manager, a huge desktop-setup.

We are always open to constructive criticism, suggestions, recommendations, complaints,... We are
here to discuss, not just one on one, but collectively, all that we have an interest in improving
this system. We perceive joborun as an alternative initial proposal containing specific guidelines,
values and principles. Where it will go and how it will evolve will depend on the participating
community, contributing, proposing, suggesting, arguing, debating, etc. When we collectivel get
convinced of a change the change will take place according to our new agreement.
Simple? Let us hope it is.
