I have been using the LiveCD format extensively on majority of my machines throughout the years as it brings, among other things, enhanced protection to my root (/) image (as this is preserved throughout the life of the session and is restored after each reboot). I have, however, two fundamental issues I need to clear up:
1. How is the LiveCD file system constructed/built? I've read a variety of articles and it seems that it is close to the UnionFS (rom+ram "partitions"), but I am not sure that is used with the new versions of Linux. I see there are multiple loop mounts on the system, but can't figure out what they are. 2. My understanding is that all files that are modified in the "live" image are stored "separately" on a "ram partition". If that is indeed the case, can I look at what has been "modified" during the live session? This is easily visible and implemented in UnionFS by a simple "ls" on the ram (i.e. the read-write) part of the UnionFS, but I am not sure how this is organised on the LiveCD system. Any help and advice on the above two issues is appreciated. Thanks! -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
