Hi All,
I've been a watcher here for a while now, and have also tried out
kadischi on FC5.
What I really need and think a liveCD generation tool should offer is as
follows:
- Bootable customised version of chosen distribution
- Ability to make the distribution as "Light" or minimalistic
as possible.
this includes chopping down an X solution (i.e. XFCE/fluxbox) as small
as possible.
- Total package choice independancy without having to install
buckets of dependencies.
- Media delivery options: USB / CD / DVD.
- Cross Platform: PowerPC (IBM & Mac), X86, X86-64, Solaris,
Itanium (efi).
By Cross Platform I mean ability to produce same configuration on all
Distro supported architecture.
- Minimal or no boot menu's: i.e. complete hardware auto
detection or Menu customisation.
possibly only configure IP address by menu choice ?
- Custom Boot splash or no boot splash.
There are many minimalistic distro's like DSL or comprehensive ones like
Knoppix.
Under standard liveCD tools it seems impossible to create a replica
distro like either of these without creating a heavily bloated DVD
image.
Does Fedora have the capability of reproducing such distro's for its
supported architecture list.
My reason is to use a specific application in both X & Cmdline, and
useable in our labs on all platforms, on the smallest media possible.
Currently I believe from the discussions I am seeing that its barely
possible for fedora to even complete any kind of liveCD, although Jdogs
pilgrim seems to be the closest in theory ? is pilgrim available and
useable ? or have I got the wrong idea about pilgrim? (I haven't seen a
website for pilgrim).
If anyone has any positive info on how fedora could be used to match my
requests, I would be very interested to test and use on all platforms.
Thanks All
Andy T
