Slackware-Live

 

1 CD = £2.00

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.
