Microdrive Live Linux 0.2
Microdrive Live Linux is a tiny little live cd system. more>>
Main features:
- This is basically a set of scripts which you can use to make your own live linux cd.
- It depends on busybox, isolinux and linux of course.
- I am planning to build a small bunch of diskless, monitorless, keyboardless nodes to do my rendering work [3D]. For them to run, I have various options but live cd seem to be most trouble free.
- But then I couldnt find a live cd, that more or less faithfully follows a ordinary installed linux system. They seem to use squashfs or unionfs or some other form of pseudo writable file systems. I couldnt even get the slax to show me a screen. I am sure it is to do with my laptop graphics card.
- But it sort of inspired me to make my own live cd, so I can match the components to the same library versions of my installed systems.
- To this end instead of making a single cd, I broke the work needed in to a set of scripts so that the whole thing is manageable and reusable.
- Hopefully it will be useful to someone else out there.
- Have a nice day.
- Released under GPL Do you need to ask! ."
