Latest version: 0.3 released 4th Oct 2006(If you are after the mainstream Kororaa/Gororaa, please click here.)
Please note: The Kororaa AIGLXgl Live CD 0.3 does NOT include the ATI or NVIDIA non-GPL video card drivers, so 3D effects will not be available on machines that require those drivers. The livecd can still be used without the 3D effects however, and installation to disk is also available.
There is no Pentium 3 minimum requirement now as 0.3 is built for i686.
About
So, you would like to get your hands on the Kororaa livecd? No problem!
The livecd now also comes with AIGLX (Fedora's 3D accelerator for X) as well as Xgl. The livecd will ask you which 3D system you want to use.
The aiglxglchooser script also has the option to choose "None" which will disable all fancy effects and result in a "normal" livecd desktop. The livecd will automatically set the system to "None" for users with NVIDIA video cards as there is no open source driver available for them. Users of ATI might be able to use the opensource radeon driver, although it does not support the latest cards.
Because we are travelling around Asia, testing has been more limited than usual. It works very well on my Intel Macbook with Intel video card, and should work well with the radeon driver. AIGLX seems to support a few other cards too, but I have not been able to test these.
Please feel free to let us know if it works with your card or not :)
There is a readme on the CD as well as an installation manual under the kororaa/docs/ directory if you wish to read it.
