All:
I have two laptops: work's Compaq Armada running W2K and my massive,
heavy, beastly Toshiba running RH 8.0.
I am looking for a way NOT to drag my Toshiba halfway around the world
on this trip. The only real reason I am taking it is so I can
practice
C programming while stuck overseas.
Is there any way I can build a CD to boot from with a minimal
distribution so I can pop that into my Compaq, boot up Linux and just
have enough stuff on there to write some C programs from the command
line? Or what are my other options? Being on-line in the hotel costs
money so I can't do a linux terminal server whenever I want which is a
bummer.
Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome at this point.
Hi Greg,
Try Knoppix:
http://www.knoppix.net/
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/
its a "Linux on a bootable CDR" distro that will probably do exactly
what you want. With it and a few floppies (or some other way to store
your C codes as you modify them), you'll be set.
hth,
Ed
