Free live linux usb software for linux

Live GNU/Linux the free Knoppix as it takes the usual Knoppix from Klaus Knopper, and strips off all non-free bits and bytes. The result is a product that consists entirely of Free Software.

We hope to provide a useful Free Software resource for you. Live GNU/Linux is also meant as a live system others can base customised version on, if they want to build up a Free Software system as well.

Live GNU/Linux is based on Knoppix which itself is based on Debian GNU/Linux. Freeing the original Knoppix was developed at Intevation.

Microdrive Live Linux is a tiny little live cd system.
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! ."
