Description

When you first boot into the desktop, you will be greeted with a message at the top telling you to click it to open a Getting Started document. Inside the document, it contains tips.

  • The version number in the bootleg is reported as "888".
  • There is a copy of Foobar2000 v1.0.3 and BoxMan 1.0, but it is hidden away in /usr/share/lucky8kveket. It, along with the reason why, is explained in the Getting Started document (which is located in /root/my-documents) which you have the choice to open when you first start Veket Linux.
  • There are bookmarks to the Lucky8k site included in SeaMonkey.
  • The SeaMonkey homepage goes to "http://www.lucky8k.com" by default.
