um.. guys... livecds are an old technology: garbure project has a dtp dedicated deistribution: http://garbure.org/ http://garbure.org/galantine/
there exists a software for easier creation of morphix based livecds: http://ibuild.livecd.net/ .. and i really suggest you use it. builind livecds from scratch takes a lot of time and energy. regards, bostjan On Sat, 30 Apr 2005 23:20:44 -0600, Oleksandr Moskalenko <malex at tagancha.org> wrote: > * Thomas Templin <lists at gnuwhv.de> [2005-04-30 23:21:13 +0200]: > >> On Saturday 30 April 2005 18:53, Paul wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> >> But I would suggest a knoppix based live cd. >> >> - You will find much more people who are familiar in building >> Knoppix based live cds than others like RH FC4 Live. >> >> - Knoppix >= Version 3.8 comes along with unionfs which allows to >> add applications during a live session. >> >> Bye, >> Thomas > > I started work on a Knoppix 3.7-based live DTP CD a few weeks ago with a goal > of having a small live CD that I could quickly update the scribus 1.2.x and > 1.3cvs packages as I make the Debian packages anyways.
