Yes, as it's totally independent of the host linux, as long as the host has an X server and mount --bind and chroot, it should work. > A nice example on using >> squashfs is iSteve's Olive, which is a live cd featuring abiword, mozilla, >> irc clients and other common apps and takes only about 70 megs > >[jg]That sounds good for putting on a USB flash drive...which might seem even >more convenient to some than turning on VMware -- only for customers with a >linux box of course, and we were talking windows... You would need to replace the booting process i think (it boots with isolinux which is for CDs, i am not sure what's needed for usb). For windows, if i get it right vmware would run a linux from an image, and i wanted to point out that we already have a relatively small tarball which could be used as a base for such an image. > _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
