Have a look at Knoppix (Debian Linux live CD -- beware, introduction text on the download page in german ;) ) <http://download.linuxtag.org/knoppix/> or simply burn your own system on CD with the package bootcd in unstable (maybe testing): $ apt-cache show bootcd Package: bootcd Priority: extra Section: utils Installed-Size: 152 Maintainer: Bernd Schumacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 2.09 Depends: cdrecord, mkisofs, cpio, fdutils, syslinux, bc Suggests: ssh Filename: pool/main/b/bootcd/bootcd_2.09_all.deb Size: 22046 MD5sum: 2ce6c5d972a3d5838b8bb3bd2bbc94fb Description: run your system from cd without need for disks. Copy your running Debian System on CD with the command bootcdwrite. If your system has no CD-Writer you can build a bootcd via NFS on a remote System with CD-Writer. When you run your system from CD you do not need any disks. All changes will be done in ram. To reuse this changes at next boot time you can save them on FLOPPY with the command bootcdflopcp. If booting from your CD-drive is not supported, booting from FLOPPY is possible. It is possible to install a new system from the running CD with the command bootcd2disk. Bootcd2disk can also find a target disk, format it and make it bootable automatically. Greetings, joachim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
