Looks simple & straightforward in 6 easy steps.
Of course anyone who uses Linux knows it usually ends up being about 600 steps.
I messed around with 'remastersys' in the 'Ubuntu 10.10' days but didn't get very far with it.
Still I have a Lubuntu 12.10 64 bit install on one of my machines so I may give it another shot.

You can install Jim's distro on a Virtual Machine (using https://www.virtualbox.org/ for example) and this is what I am going to do.
Jim, any minimun tech requirements for the VM (RAM, disk and so forth)?
Great project BTW, thanks !
Hi Marc,
32 bit needs 1gb ram minimum & 64 bit 1.5gb minimum. May work with a little less, I haven't tested.
32 bit version has been updated a little today, adding a little more polish to it with better icons, fonts etc.
Updated 64 bit version which is now based on Lighthouse Pup should be out in a day or so.

A new 32 bit version of the distro is out now. I wasn't happy with it so I remastered it again from scratch. It's running sweet now.
I've updated the chess software and some of the engines to the latest versions and added some new chess programs.
Here is a screenshot of final desktop:
Here is 'Lucas Chess' running in 'Wine'
This is 'Tom's Live Chess Viewer' running in 'Wine'. Now I you can follow Graham's fine Chess tournaments live.
Sweeet! I have one computer configured as dual bootable between Windows XP 64 and Linux Mint. I am now planning to set up my other computer to dual boot between XP and your distro.

Hi Adam,
That's how i have it installed, dual booting with Windows XP.
I created a 20gb ext4 partition on the drive with a 1gb swap partition & booted the distro from the disc,
then I installed it to the partition using 'frugal install option'. Finally I ran 'Grub for dos'
which finds my XP installation and adds the entry for it automatically into the bootloader.
