Nbed
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2005-12-21 13:16"A 'dialog' based tool for on-demand embedded system creation (e.g: Live-cd, usb key etc..). It allows creation of fully customized Live-cd in a few minutes, using normal packages, not special things. If fact, our init-scripts are Nbed-compliant from scratch, only the existence of an 'NBED' file at the root of filesystem will trigger variant action to work smooth on a read-only media. That's all, everything else is excatly the same that what's used on the Hard-drive, nothing to adapt, it works exactly the same.
It can be used at for easy creation of (non-exhaustive): advanced Live-rescue, live-desktop, autoconfiguring DHCP client and LAN, gateways, NAT-box, Distribution specific install-CD (binaries and or sources based), cluster nodes, media-box etc..."

Maybe you create your own mini iso with mrxcdram
* ./ramdisk.sh # generate the /boot/ramdisk.gz, with all command defined in ramdisk.db
* ./snapshot.sh # snapshot your current linux system without personal information directories
* ./geniso.sh # create bootable iso using the /boot/ramdisk.gz and current /vmlinuz kernel"

trkdev
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2005-12-16 15:40"Boot from your existing TRK 3.1, modify scripts, test them if you like and run updatetrk. This will put your updated scripts (from /bin, /sbin and /etc) back to a renewed ISO file. Check out the howto on usage of updatetrk. If you want to add files to everything in /usr, you need to use the old way, since the compressed ramfilesystem is readonly."

DSS - Debased Scripts Set
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2005-11-28 22:40"DSS (Debased Scripts Set) project is dedicated to providing you with a "System Development Environment" to create your own DEbian BASED Live Linux System.
Normally you're stuck with the type and amount of applications the creator decided to include, now you can customize the system to fit your needs, by generating on-the-fly compressed modules (layers) including additional software .
The idea is to don't "debase" the Default Debian System, for this pourpose has been designed the USS (The Upstream Salmon Struct).
In this way you'll have a knoppix like HW autodetection and autoconfiguration flavor without affecting the standard system.
DSS can be used to:
* create your own live distribution
* put together a demo disk to show off the power of our favourite OS
* build a portable system to install on external USB/FIREWIRE HD and boot it up.
* backup you system and run it from a CD/DVD
* build a morphix base module"
