From: joe on 9 Jun 2010 11:00 I would like to add the following customizations to my Debian system. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any already-existing projects for any of the tools I want. archive tool: expands an archive somewhere under /var and creates a rw empty overlay somewhere under /home and the union is available via autofs download tool: uses a download directory somewhere under /var until it is determined that the file is no longer available from the source, at which point it promotes it to /home. Use unionfs to make the actual location unimportant. Should work with common download options: wget, firefox, youtube-dl, rtorrent perhaps a script should be kept under /home to retrieve absent downloads in a restored /home or maybe just keep a list of URIs for absent downloads usb key tool: usb key to authenticate user. User may quickly pull out the usb key which will lock his desktop and chroot into guest mode to let a friend use the internet. autofs should mount usb disks as read only and gracefully handle instant removal. user should have ability to switch to read-write and use unmount. ifupdown applet: GUI interface to ifupdown that is indistinguishable (apart from configuration) from the network-manager applet, including all animations. |
