There is also a review on youtube by sneekylinux : www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4qi-ZcSV5Y Of course, I would have preferred if everything was double-checked, but yep, I'm like that. Quote: Calimero By the way, as the author of ctkarch, I noticed some mistakes: So sorry X doesn't work out of the box on your PC! But there are, in fact, a lot of 'failsafe' options in the Misc. options menu at bootup. CTKArch is older than archbang, see http://archbang.org/news/bravo-calimero When something is in common in the two, it comes from ctkarch In order to edit the entries in the bootloader, you used <tab> and <enter>, not Ctrl+E and Ctrl+X. The openbox Applications menu is dynamic! It does update automatically when installing new software! For this, I use openbox-menu. When you select tint2 as the panel from the openbox menu, fbpanel is killed, and vice versa. There should be no problem with this. Scrot is installed. (but yep, no menu entry, you can run it with Alt+F2.) The shutdown entry doesn't use sudo shutdown, but the Consolekit call. See ~/.config/fbpanel/default Some remarks! The lack of window decor on the terminal is a choice, and of course you can move it with Alt+Left-click-drag, resize it with Alt+Right-click-drag and close it with Ctrl+D. Yes, I don't like proprietary software. Add-ons allow you to add flash and so on to your ISO image before burning/dd-ing it!

Scrot *is* installed. (but yep, no menu entry, you can run it with Alt+F2.)
