A CD or DVD is good for passing along since it is inexpensive, so what about one like Kanotix, that has unionfs? Has anyone tried that? I tried and it booted to hang on my machine. So I've only read about it so far. Does unionfs allow writing to a CD or DVD in a practical way? John Griessen

A "Knoppix" like CD with gEDA would be ideal.  Much of the Knoppix standard Knoppix application could be removed to make room for gEDA.  Save gEDA data to a flash stick and you have true "take with you" portability. John James Cotton wrote: Well with a bootable one you can plug it into a windows

Hello list, I've notices a few threads discussing/suggesting a gEDA bootable distribution. Anyway, here is our senerio: At work, we upgraded to AMD64's and I am also running two AMD64's at home. So, I compiled the gEDA suite of tools using gcc 4.0 on an AMD64 machine. Then, I installed the suit
