Slackware-Live CD is a bootable CD containing Linux
operating system. It runs Linux directly from CDROM without
installing. The live CD described here is based on Slackware
GNU Linux distribution and is downloadable from this website
as an ISO. There are also available all scripts and source
codes, which can be used to build your
own live CD.
Why
Imagine the ability to boot your favorite Linux
wherever you want - at home, at school or at your work. Imagine
yourself walking on the street and carrying the only one thing
needed for your life - the 8cm compact disk with your Linux
Live CD. Do you wanna try such a feeling? :-)
How
When your computer boots from Live CD, at first
Linux kernel image (vmlinuz) is loaded. Then, 13 MB virtual
disk (ramdisk) is created in computer's RAM. Rootdisk image
(initrd.gz) is unpacked into it and then mounted as a root
filesystem. Large directories (like /usr, /opt, ...) are mounted
directly from the CDROM (read only).
Bugs
I am still learning and I don't know everything.
If you found a bug or if Slackware-Live CD does not work on
your computer, then contact me and I'll try to fix it. If
you have some interesting idea or if you know how to do things
better than I did, then tell me about it also. I appreciate
all kinds of feedback.
