qeldroma Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 me: Put the cdrom in, boot and there you have linux. Is there a simple way to create this?? ----------------------------------- ramfree17: there is a project listed in freshmeat that does this thing. actually its a whole distro in the cd so you could just pop it in a pc that can boot from CD and use it from there. unfortunately i cant remember the name.i keep thinking of mondo but i think its a rescue project. Confused [edit] here is what i found. check it out as i dont know if it will fit your bill... http://freshmeat.net/projects/bblcd/ ----------------------------------- Blueherring: Hello there, You might want to check out the BBLCD Toolkit at http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/. Basically it takes any installed system on another partition and turns it into a bootable CD system. There's not much on docs online, but if you get the tarball there's good step by step docs inside. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Naturally there are always special concerns with CD distros, having a read only system for one. I was actually working on trying this package on a lean mandrake install, but haven't actually gotten to the CD making step yet. I'm currently wondering the best way to make system settings persistant on machines you boot them on. Probably some sort of small loopback image for certain files in etc. Good luck, let us know how it goes if you try this out, I'll probably post when I get to trying it. ----------------------------------- theYinYeti: You might be interested in this: http://www.virtual-linux.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 There is a project based at Soureforge that does a CD based version of Mandrake. http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtual-linux/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frew Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 actually...I don't remember if bblcd is it or not, but If I remember correctly bblcd basically makes your current linux on a cd. Well there is a version of mdk (not made by mdk) that is cd bootable. I think it is 8.0 or 8.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
