RE: [cobalt-developers] Cobalt GUI

["Jeff Mutschler | M Media" <Jeff_Mutschler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, thanks Rick,
We own all of our own RaQs; I've been running cobalt products for about 3
years, so I guess I'm pretty lucky to not have any earth-shattering
disasters; I'm pretty used to the "lack of support" from Cobalt/Sun, but,
frankly, the happy reality for me is that practically anything I might have
to ask has already been asked, I just have to get off my hiney and find it
on the lists; no biggie.

>FWIW, I believe cobalt once put out a customization guide that tells how
to do it.

THAT I gotta find, which leads me to...

Assuming I did rebrand a "virgin install" of Cobalt (I'm currently running a
stack of 3i's), how much of a pain in the ass is it to create a new cd
image, so I can install the same thing on all of our boxes, without having
to "reinvent the wheel" every time?

Thanks for your time,

Jeff -

Assuming you own or lease the entire box, I don't see why not. If you
are concerned about support if you change the logo, forget it. You don't
have any anyhow, except perhaps what you get from this list. And from
the threads going elsewhere, the kind folks on these lists is probably
all you have anyhow.

The way I look at it, if you don't void your warranty when you first
setup your box, to secure yourself properly, you are probably insecure
and about to get hacked.

FWIW, I believe cobalt once put out a customization guide that tells how
to do it. If nothing else, its very easy to do. The only advice I would
have is to backup the before and the after as a future GUI update might
wipe out your changes.

Rick
