joomy Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) Just installed Delft, fantastic, all went very smooth and works great well done guys n gals. Did a shieldsup test and the default install left all ports open, so this test failed big time. Ok, i`m assuming that Delft needs a fat32 partition to allow it to boot, so as this is a windows based partition does this not allow malicious code to run and infect the OS as it does in Windows? Is it possible for the Delft OS to access and write / save to a EXT2 partition on the same usb stick for the added security that Linux offers( file permissions ect ) Any MCNLive security related links anyone knows of would be very much appreciated. joomy ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 30 views no replies!

Also, many people may view a thread, but not know the answer. so as this is a windows based partition does this not allow malicious code to run and infect the OS as it does in WindowsCode that could infect Windows won't infect Linux. It has nothing to do with the partition's filesystem and everything to do with the OS/programs running on the OS.

joomy Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks for reply Tyme, It`s a shame Chris:b has decided to retire. I`v been experimenting with usb distros for some time and Delft seems to be perfect at the moment, very easy install, reliable, everything works how it should. great stuff. With such talents I wonder why chris:b has not marketed her own distro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
