Here is a sample livecd-bootimage-0.08 The system boots to a minix file system on a ram disk. The ram disk has the required files to allow the system to boot to a single user mode. After logging, mount the CD to /mnt, and then run the script linkcd. This links the rest of the files in /bin, /sbin, /lib, and /etc from the root file system to the cd, giving you a full system. Since the system does not use the hard drive, the live CD should make a good recovery disk, as it can contain all the system admin tools that can be put on a 600 meg CD. It should also make a good platform for demonstrating Linux, to someone that doesn't want to format their hard drive, but wants to see what Linux can do. Since it uses a ram disk for the root file system, and doesn't use any swap, the computer needs a fair amount of ram. --- cut here --- cut here --- Now whether or not this fits your current system depends, of course, on your current system! Hope this helps, - Bob
