Got a LiveCD built using Kadischi? Give us a URL!

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

OK, so I know that some of you out there have actually *used* Kadischi 
now.  Link yours in by putting the URL on the wiki:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveCD

I can't edit the page, but BLAG made an FC4-based LiveCD with Kadischi:

ftp://ftp.blagblagblag.org/pub/BLAG/linux/40000/en/iso

Kindly register in the wiki and let me know your user name offlist and I 
will add you to the edit group. You will be able to edit the wiki and 
add pointers after that.  Offers applies to everyone working with 
Kadishi. Will expire soon. Hurry!

Just give this one a test run. Worked out fine. Bootup and application 
startup speeds were pretty low. . Ran into a couple of minor bugs with 
initscript trying to relabel the filesystem and running fonts cache both 
of which failed due to the storage being read only. I didnt like the 
theme or the icon set but thats a subjective taste

A comprehensive set of differences in the packages and other 
customisations you have made would very useful. I would also like to 
know about your previous Live CD efforts and experiences and if you see 
an oppurtunity for colloboration. For example, code improvements or 
features the tool and Live CD could use. Just throwing out an idea

Yes. It's starting all sorts of unneeded services too.

Perhaps the prelinker would speed this up (?).

Ya, there are a number of things on boot and during running that need 
fixing. This was definitely a "quickie".

Most packages are either FC, FC-extras, or RPMforge. If they are custom 
blag ones, they have "blag" in the name (e.g. 
initscripts-8.11.1-1blag.fc4.i386.rpm). The SRPMS for all packages are 
available on our ftp site. Note, most of the changes I made are very 
cheeep. ;)

Years ago I did a very small live CD for wireless routers. Definitely an 
"in-house" project though. I spent a small amount of time looking at 
options for making FC-based livecds, but I put the project off until 
kadischi came along and solved it for me. :)

I should also note that I have been working on BLAG, a FC/RH-based 
distro, since RH7.3 (and using RH itself since the beginning).

I'll definitely forward ideas and fixes I come across to this list or 
'zilla. If you check the archives I've sent a few already.

I also did another "brainstorm" LiveCD that I haven't made public--I 
just wanted to test out the idea.

Basically, the minimal live cd (220 megs currently) boots up and just 
starts X and metacity. It then connects via NX (or VNC) to a remote box 
which presents a GDM login screen. The user logs in and does whatever 
they want to do--but the whole session is running on a remote machine. 
Using NX, it's quite fast and is usable with VNC.

I plan to refine this LiveCD (called BLAGSQUAT) so people without 
computers have a "permanent" desktop and place to store their files. 
They can go from cafe to cafe, boot up the live CD, login, and all their 
files/bookmarks/etc are there. :)

Later,

-Jeff

Yes.  There is also preload. Check out 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraBounties. Might need some 
modifications for a Live CD

Reminds me of the Stateless linux project
