HOWTOs

"I want to have a business card size CD with which I could boot multiple floppy images (I don't want to carry floppies with me because of their size, fragility, and lack of reliability). I'm posting this because someone might find it useful. Basically I want a CD that has: [...]

* Ghost boot disks
* Mini (floppy) Linux distribution for recovery and other purposes.
* DSL and Puppy floppy images that load DSL or Puppy from USB flash drive (in case the BIOS of the computer does not support USB booting directly)."

"Finnix includes several options when it comes to customization: remastering, a startup shell script, and overlays. Remastering is described on its own page, and while this page will touch briefly on the startup shell script, overlays are the main focus. [...]

Overlays give you a great deal of flexibility. They allow you to create directory structures or loopback filesystems that are laid on top of the "default" Finnix filesystem. This gives you the most of the benefits of remastering Finnix, but without the complexity."

"A suitable Build Environments is available not already gives it several Möglichkeiten one rapidly to produce. One in front, the image production with Qemu are clear-prove importantly more slowly than more über a Chroot Environment or a normal host system. The Howto is aligned to Debian Etch as host system. Whether there are für other Linux distributions or Windows versions ähnliche methods to some points, is unfortunately not well-known me. Warning: The Ausführung of aufgeführter instructions takes place on own responsibility. Für error in this Howto übernehme I no adhesion."

" * Do you want to try out Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu or any other *buntu and install without using a CD?
* Would you like having something that works like a live CD but runs a lot faster?
* Have you ever experienced a partitioning disaster of or an installation failure that could have been caused by a scratched CD or a dirty optical lens in your CD/DVD drive?
* Does your computer support booting a USB disk? (Either from the BIOS or even from a GRUB menu or command line).
* You can also keep it in the USB disk for any emergency you might have later on someday, the Ubuntu Live CD can be used to rescue and repair your Ubuntu operating system and re-install if that's ever necessary. It makes a great rescue disk because it leaves your CD/DVD drive available in case you want to make a file rescue that way, or you can SSH to a networked computer or copy to another USB disk too, whichever will be the easiest.
* Super Grub Disk is used to boot the Live CD Ubuntu operating system in the USB disk, and it can also be used for emergency booting or fixing the boot of any operating system in your hard drive too if you ever need it."
