Hi All,
Perhaps OSG users are already doing this,
or are considering.
The purpose of this email is to throw this possibility out there, and
to get feedback from OSG users who might find such an means of
distribution useful. There are members of the community far better
placed to actual go

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.

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.
Mandriva-Live detects your 3D Hardware, is downloading
installing the right driver
Hi Jan,
Then I think we are not speaking about the same thing. Of course, if I
was to rebuild isos daily, I would look for something else. However,
that is not the issue for me - the whole point of making a live CD is to
give it away at conferences or to students and such. That doesn't mean
it

yes. I just did that (Mandriva 2008.spring) I don't know if
they download it or if they cache the drivers locally on
the CD, but you boot the LiveCD and you have 3D (OK, it's
quite long to boot). And when you install you still have
3D.
I'll try OSG ASAP

Hi Robert,
Yes, the live bootable CD is a very interesting concept. I made
something like that based on Knoppix years ago, that proof of concept
used Mesa IIRC. It was like October 2002 and primarily a demo of VTP
w/ my Eldorado Springs database. Have to find the .iso, rediscover
what I

Hi All,
Over the last few years I have seen a few trends in hardware and
software that made me curious about the possibility that soon it might
be quite easily to put together an operating system and our own
applications together as one physical piece of media, and distribute
