Yep, second to that. DSL has saved my day when I need a Linux Live system. However, it also has it drawbacks. Check the details at http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/live/dsl/ Also on the site you can find my recommended Linux Live system -- the true Live-CD pioneer with unparalleled leading technology and vision. You might not agree with what I've picked, but you can also check Various Debian (Live) CD Systems http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/live/debian-cd/ Believe me, searching for the perfect Linux Live system has been my "life long" journey. Before Knoppix even exist, I custom built RedHat, shrinking its installation disks from 3 to 1, and only contains my picked packages list, RedHat Distro Customization http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/distro/redhat/ Its installation does not require human intervention. So whenever I need a Linux system, I was able to have a system ready within 10~15 minutes, which contains the very tools that I want. This is the most important thing to me. Some other Debian Live Systems, eg, grml, can be installed on HD within 6~8 minutes or so, but how long will it take to further tune the installed System to your taste? -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
