MCNLive Toronto
MCNLive is a Mandriva-based live CD developed by MandrivaClub.nl in The Netherlands. more>>
This new English-only pre-release, code name "Jordaan", is a freshly build distribution from the current Cooker (Mandrivas development branch).
MCNLive features the XFce desktop, the new ad-free Opera 8.50, Mandriva Control Center, and a set of multimedia applications - all that and more on a 200MB live CD.
The product also includes a graphical application for installing the operating system to a USB storage device.
Enhancements:
- I am glad to announce MCNLive, code name Toronto. Whats the difference to Delft? VirtualBox OSE, KOffice suite, GIMP, gThumb, gxine, gFTP, Bluefish, Quanta, KAudioCreator, Kopete, KDE Bluetooth, a bunch of networking tools and printer packages added. English only edition. Improved isolinux bootsplash, with keyboard navigation to select a boot option, different wallpapers, fixed (non-critical) error messages when shutting down the system in live CD persist mode.
DrakLive
DrakLive is a live distribution mastering tool. more>>
draklive builds a live distribution according to a configuration file, creates a master image, and optionally installs it on a device.
Why a new live mastering tool?
Mandriva Move
The Move1/Move2 technology is quite deprecated now, it was about loading writable files in RAM, and using dnotify to monitor file modifications and copy the modified files on the USB key.
It required a specific boot process, and a complex mastering process. It is better replaced by something like unionfs, which allows transparent filesystem overlay (and makes possible files removal).
mklivecd
mklivecd already allows to create live distributions, but its not easy to keep it in sync with latest hardware or technical updates. mklivecd needs its own long initrd script (linuxrc), as well as a new rc.sysinit file. It makes the boot very complicated, and its not easy to maintain all these three programs (linuxrc, rc.sysinit, mklivecd) together.
linux-live / Slax
The linux-live scripts are quite similar, but they also requiresome additional library in the initrd, and they dont provide a good hardware drivers list in their initrd.
Advantages
draklives philosophy is to keep the live distribution as close as possible to a normal Mandriva Linux distribution. All specific live tweaks are done in a very tiny initrd script. Since this one is generated on the fly, its very small, and gets quite easy to debug.
The list of drivers included in the initrd is adjusted during the live distribution creation, according to the medium type. draklive uses the DrakX libraries to have an up-to-date drivers list.
Once the initrd script is done booting, the root device will be used transparently by the distribution, without any additional tricks.
Hardware detection is done with harddrake, providing a reliable integration.
Main features:
- live CD
- live distribution on USB key
- easy to test over NFS
- uses the Mandriva installer to create the live system
- fully read-write live system (using unionfs)
- automatic hardware configuration (using harddrake)
- generic code structure to make new technical choices usable quickly
