I'm aware of that. :) Can I use your script to create my own personal iso?
Thanks

Not having done this before in the MX-world, I am pleased to announce the "release" of MX18 Continuum (Minimal). I have completed everything I can think of to build a MX18 Minimal install image (iso).

For those of you who have not been following the forum discussion on the creation of a Minimal MX Install be advised, this is not a re-creation of antiX. This is truly a "minimalist version" of MX 18 Continuum.

This 'minimal' MX Linux 18 Continuum build is designed to provide you with the basic core of MX Continuum --minus-- all major applications, extra Conkies, icons and themes. The intent of this build is to provide you with a 'reasonably' clean MX base from which to build personal and/or shared MX Desktops. I am using this base both for my personal Desktop and to build a Children's Education Desk using MXLinux 18 as its base.

Should you decide that you would rather build this manually, from the regular MX19 install set, you certainly may. There are a few items, in addition to those in the script, you will need to remove via MXPI. They are enumerated below:

#################################
# Remove the following with MXPI:
# Numix (Icon & Window Themes)
# Faenza (Icon theme)
# Faenza-cupertino (Icon theme)
# Arc (Window Theme)
#################################

In addition to all the applications that have been removed, all Conky scripts, excepting those in MX-Default & MX-Elementary folders, have been removed.

If you wish to run my script and/or build a script of your own here is mine to edit as a basis for yours:

#################################

The download for the materials I created will be housed in my Dropbox folder for a while. Hopefully someone has a better place for these to reside; if so, please transfer them there and let me know so I can recover my space for additional Genealogy data!

Enjoy.

Hallo manyroads,

so at least correct the link to the iso which is no longer in your dropbox, please.

So I wonder what do I have to do with virtualbox?
Where i the relationship?

Is gcc not only used for developers? So save to uninstall?
