I'd like to see the LiveCD project in just a bit different light. Personally, I would like so see it as a CDFS project (CD from scratch) where the *howto* to build a bootable CD is the main focus and less the content of the CD itself. As you may know I have an old RS/6000 here and there is (C)LFS on it. It was a huge trouble to get the box booting an operating system with which one can work (Linux). I need to try many distros but all failed at the quite strange graphic board (GTX3000) which was in there. My only chance was to remove the graphic card completely and work with the serial console. Have you ever tried to work with Yast over a serial console? Lots of fun, I can tell you! What I wished to have is a simple, clean BootCD with no SchnickSchnack (how is that in English? Maybe "extra stuff") on it but simply boots and provide all the tools I need to be prepared to start building a LFS. If the focus of the LiveCd project would be on how to create a CD and what the essential steps and techniques (with initramfs or without or whatever) are, than an experienced LFSer could adopt that to build his own BootCDs. The one would try to reach the Knoppix level, the other would setup a simple recovery BootCD for his old PPC... -- Thomas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
