Thread: pg_live
Hi all, Next week I begin my work updating pg_live, the postgres live CD that was introduced this past summer at OSCON. It will feature a live working postgres 8.0, updated documentation and will include the windows installer with binary. Aswell, pg_live will contain a complete set of diagnostic utilities for system and network administration to serve as anemergency boot CD. The idea is to have the CD ready for Linux World (Boston) 2005. However, if I can get some assistance from the community,I would like to make it compatible for the Solutions Linux that will be held in Paris this coming February tooby getting the documentation translated into the appropriate languages. SRA America and Afilias are both playing a part, i.e. money for pressing the CDs. I will be making available the iso image to the community when all is ready. Contact me directly if you would like a copy of the iso that was used at OSCON. cheers Robert Bernier

I'm translating the PostgreSQL manual in french and hope to finish it at the end of this year. Unfortunately, I'm translating the 7.4.0 release, not 8.0. I don't think I can translate 8.0 before Solutions Linux... but it would be pretty cool :) If you want to build a french CD, 8.0 will be the first PostgreSQL release to be completely translated in french. I'm also doing the translation of pginstaller. I hope to be able to send it to pginstaller's mainteners by the end of the week. > SRA America and Afilias are both playing a part, i.e. money for pressing the CDs. > > I will be making available the iso image to the community when all is ready. > That would be great, thank you. -- Guillaume. <!-- http://abs.traduc.org/ http://lfs.traduc.org/ http://traduc.postgresqlfr.org/ -->

Next week is when I start working on it. I'll be concentrating on updating and streamlining the boot process at that point. > I'm translating the PostgreSQL manual in french and hope to finish it at > the end of this year.

I figure the easiest way is to upgrade the english version and then either create a french only version or add a simple option permitting using French. I'll need to reflect on the issues. cheers Robert Bernier

Now if you wanted to be really slick you could set up both versions with Slony
replicating between the 7.4 and 8.0 installs :-)
