YggdrasilYggdrasilPosted Aug 28, 2003 15:03 UTC (Thu) by brugolsky (✭ supporter ✭, #28)Parent article: Red Hat Based Live CDs Any discussion of LiveCDs should pay homage to Adam Richter's 1983 Yggdrasil L/G/X, the granddaddy of LiveCDs. IIRC, it did transparent decompression by using a special libc in /lib/compressed/. It booted into X, and had both "install" and a "demo" accounts, with an MPEG-1 player demo and the Andrew System. The name was even politically correct: Linux/GNU/X. ;-p

Yggdrasil Posted Aug 29, 2003 14:05 UTC (Fri) by holstein (subscriber, #6122) [Link] Just to be a bit nit-picky... I suppose we really are talking about 1993, right? Because the historian-turned-coder that I am, if it is not the case, have a few historical notion to review... ;)
Yggdrasil Posted Aug 29, 2003 21:35 UTC (Fri) by brugolsky (✭ supporter ✭, #28) [Link] If my code contained as many typos and bits of line noise as my prose, I'd be out of a job in a week. Perhaps I should enroll in an ESL (English-as-a-Second-Language) course. ;-p
