Re: [CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
Scientific Linux is one of the groups I read, in addition to CentOS, and that is why I couldn't find the email in the CentOS group. Also instead of saving the email, I saved the link to the information, only one of hundreds saved. I didn't think to look in my SL list of links, only CentOS. Sorry for the confusion everyone. Akemi, thanks for the pointer/reminder. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
I remember someone saying one had to include some options on the boot command line for this to work. Nothing was automated for this to work. It took a little bit of work and that is why I saved the email or at least meant to save it. I was almost positive it was the CentOS list that I saw the post(s). I know it wasn't Fedora, because I don't read any groups for that. It wasn't Knoppix. It was definitely a LiveCD/DVD. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yet another option is to use Scientific Linux LiveCD/DVD: http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/save.html Being a "sister" product of CentOS, SL might be a viable option for CentOS users.

I'm running on my CentOS 5.2 Live CD and I just looked at all the GNOME menus. If that's something one can do from the menu, it's not intuitively obvious. If you find out how to do this, please post back to the ML. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Running From Live DVD & Keeping Settings Between Boots
Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone remember that post and can forward that message to me?
