Title Says it all 
**Update**
It may still be a bit I was going to try and do Trinity, but it’s a hot mess and something I care not to do. Most likely If I finish the KDE 3 Import it will be with Enterprise packages that will have security updates. Then again I may just have Razor-Qt be the default for lighter installs and call it a day.
Friday I placed what I currently have for a Graphical installer onto the LiveCDs I have been making. It works but it sure is not pretty. I have also been able to build both 32 and 64Bit ISOs. Things are slowly progressing. The installer is written in PyQt4 and has a built in auto partitoning option (auto-part) that works but could use a lot more work as well. In the next few days as things improve I will post these as projects on dev.synergy-linux.com and give them a SVN commit.
Another thing I have been working on is razor-qt in what spare time (like now) I have found. In case you don’t know razor-qt is a desktop environment written for Qt4 and is light very weight. My hopes are this will work even better then KDE4 on EeePCs and I can make it an option much more sooner then something like kde3. In fact it may even replace a need to build kde3 if it’s stable enough. We’ll see.
Posting from the little EeePC running Synergy Linux (Code named: GreenTooth). This is on what will be Synergy Linux 3. We’re still very pre Alpha still but things are coming along. This release is not just for EeePC’s don’t get me wrong but still feel like I have some loose ends to tie up from the EeePCLinuxOS days. So far I have the compressed install working with a changes overlay (with some intervention) all I need to do now is change some media creator code and do some more testing, then I will work on the rather large task of still trying to use anaconda for a normal install. After that I hit Alpha status and then go into the more organized tasks on dev.synergy-linux.com of porting Mandriva Control Center and various other major packages I may be missing (Java, libreoffice etc..). So here goes!
