Nope, I took, the quick and Easy route of Remastering NavynOS.

The guy already had some nice tools etc there on it and I wasnt sure if 
Catalyst was all I wanted. Somebody said that this wasnt done with Catalyst?

This has had a lot of ideas stolen from n00b feedback on Ubuntu and 
Knoppix, like Gnome, Gaim, Firefox, XMMS, gMplayer, and it wouldnt be 
linux without Frozen-Bubble ;-)
That and Ive changed the default theme, so that in the words of a 
first-time Gnome user it doesnt "look like various shades of dog poo".

If it all goes well, I may end up doing on from scratch, may end up just 
modifying NavynOS some more - We'll see.

Got 7 people on the torrent so far, so its no long being limited by my 
128kbps sorry excuse for upload speeds.

Regards


Chill.
