Creating a custom Linux LiveCD With PCLinuxOS (NewsForge)
[Posted April 27, 2005 by ris]
This NewsForge article
looks
at how to create a custom LiveCD using PCLinuxOS. "
The mklivecd
tool, which is used to create a LiveCD Linux, can also be used with
Mandrakelinux. However, PCLinuxOS has a couple of advantages that make it
better suited for a LiveCD Linux project. First off, PCLinuxOS comes with
mklivecd already installed and configured, so you don't have to spend time
doing it yourself. Second, the Synaptic package manager that comes as part
of PCLinuxOS offers an easier and more fool-proof way of adding and
removing software than RPM-based systems. Finally, PCLinuxOS comes on a
single CD and offers only a small set of programs by default, which makes
it less time-consuming to remove unwanted software packages."
