Try slax. There’s a lighter version (about 130 mb instead of the usual 188) which uses xfce instead of kde. It does auto-negotiate for an IP. If you want to make one that’s tailored to your needs, theres a bare version (Frodo edition, if im not mistaken, about 40 mb), then just add what modules you need from slax.linux-live.org.

Hi,

 

How about a small distro with auto network configuration like Auto-DHCP,

you can do it with Puppy but manually… Well I know you can remaster the

CD with your own settings but I haven’t tried it yet, just a newbie with linux..

 

I was thinking of thinkering with puppy and remastering a CD with auto dhcp

configured, removed games, customized wallpapers and bookmarks for the

mozilla browser so users won’t have to memorize additional steps just to

configure the workstation to work with the network. Hehe. But well.. don’t know

yet to start, well I know I need to start reading manuals at puppylinux.org <sigh>

 

Any ideas to make my exploration easier will be highly appreciated…

 

 

I’m using Ubuntu + KDE on mine though. =)

I love my Puppy Linux too!  Lightweight and fast (and the cute puppy!)

But if you're looking for other "small" distros... I find Vector Linux (which I think is also based on Slack) very fast.  I have also tried Beatrix which works much like Ubuntu but lighter.  I hope my friend Edu will reply to this thread coz he has more than dozen live Cd distro to share. :)

Hi guys,

I am using Puppy Linux running on CDROM for our 8
workstation clients all without hardisk. The purpose
is to access our web based application on the main
server. It's only 60MB in size.

It really worked wonders and ***tremendously*** lessen
our expense with hardware and OS cost not to mention
limit the activities of encoders to their work and easier
training for MS users.

I tried running Ubuntu Live CD but it loads sluggishly
on our machine (Sempron 2500 , 128 Memory, No hardisk,
No FDD, No Hardisk) =) what a budget!!! Well just for
Pure encoding.

I also tried Austrumi but it also worked like Ubuntu.

Any live distros you might suggest?
