Install Skywave 4.1 liveCD as normal (modifiable) Linux installation
by wickercoffin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AXPA)
Hi, folks!
I will try to be as succinct as possible. I am a bit of a Linux novice having installed several Debian and Ubuntu distros on various laptops I've owned. I would like to be able to install the Skywave Linux distro to my hard drive (okay, fine it's really an SSD) as a normal (modifiable) Linux installation.
As of Skywave 4.0 the author has changed the distro so that it *only* a live CD and has changed the WM used in Mate (Compiz I think) to the minimalist i3 WM ... and I ***HATE*** this interface. :mad: The author of this distro seems to think i3 is the greatest thing since sliced bread and isn't fully forthcoming with advice. I want to be able to change the DE to Mate or Xfce but I do not know how. Google is of little help unless you know the right search terms.
I would appreciate any advice!
Thank you.
