Hi Jan,

classic Live-CD remastering sounds for me like a time consuming and
unflexible approach, but it could work.
I do not see why inflexible - there are actually automated tools for
this today. Boot the image, change what you need and have the scripts
build you a new image with your customizations in already.
the debian live-helper tools build your ISO from a debian repository
(you can run you own repository if you like). It works like with the
package updating mechanism. Once the files are chached locally,
building the ISO takes only some minutes. You have all the security
fixes and a current, consistent system.
The config-file for lh_config is the place where you can configure what
configuration you want to build.
Remastereing an existing Live-CD works good if it contains the current
packages and if you only want to create ONE conrete ISO for your needs,
but if you want to create daily ISO's than I'm afraid you will not save
much time.
Well, the whole idea of a usb stick or Live CD is to be able to use it
even when the infrastructure is not in place. If you have a PXE server
running and all this, you can as well have the machines pre-installed
for what you need ...
Typically, I want to give the CD for the students to use at home, in the
classroom I rarely need these kludges.
really? typically you want boot the classroom with stuff "per session",
I mean: different courses - different ISO's . . .
Why not have more than one Session/ ISO on the Terminalserver machine ?
Only reboot the clients and start them as a
Presentation ,Simulator ,Scientific-Lab, Office Pool etc. etc. The
Server-PC has a set of ISO's, all of them created in some minutes. If
you like you can build all sessions nigthly from your configfiles.
Mandriva has a good Live distro, even running from a USB stick. Another
tiny one I am using from a USB key is RIPLinux. I didn't try to remaster
that one, though.
Of course, almost nobody ships current OSG, but that you will probably
want to compile anyway, together with your app for the target system.
Mandriva-Live detects your 3D Hardware, is downloading& installing the
right driver on the fly ??
It would be nice to see :-)
Yes, I also like the Live-Session in "developer config", building my
own osg, but in most cases you like to install&run it without osg knowledge.
best regards, Markus
