# FYI (for your information)

昨日の debian-boot ML に個人で作ってる Live CD の話題が出てました。

  It should be able to be done on a 1.44 meg boot image, but a 2.88MB floppy
  would be even better.  My live cd (http://www.ocslink.com/~blunier/) boots
  off a 1.44MB image, and runs a full distribution off a CD, without using
  the hard drive.  One of the reasons I made it was to use it as an install 
  disk (besides a cool demo CD).  After booting the system, partition the
  hard drive, make a file sytem, mount the file system, then copy the CD to
  the mounted partition, run lilo, and reboot (removing the CD).

  I haven't tried booting off a scsi disk as I don't have a scsi disk, but
  ATAPI and SBPCD disks work fine.

だそうです。

                 Linux - Live on CD. Hard disk not required.
     _________________________________________________________________

   The which contains files used to create a live CD.

   The [source directory] contains the files needed to create a Debian
   Linux system on a bootable CD. The system boots to a minix file system
   on a ram disk. The ram disk has the required files to allow the system
   to boot to a single user mode. After logging, mount the CD to /mnt,
   and then run the script linkcd.sh. This links the rest of the files in
   /bin, /sbin, /lib, and /etc from the root file system to the cd,
   giving you a full system.

   Since the system does not use the hard drive, the live CD should make
   a good recovery disk, as it can contain all the system admin tools
   that can be put on a 600 meg CD. It should also make a good platform
   for demonstrating Linux, to someone that doesn't want to format their
   hard drive, but wants to see what Linux can do. Since it uses a ram
   disk for the root file system, and doesn't use any swap, the computer
   needs a fair amount of ram.

   To create the CD, install Linux on 2 partions. Use first partion to
   run the scripts and write the CD. It should have enough room to hold
   the image of the second partition. The second partion holds the Debian
   system that will be copied to CD.

   The scripts use a kernel that takes advantage of the initrd patch that
   is used by the Linux Router Project The patch will take a tgz'd set of
   files and untar them to a minix file system in ram on bootup. Along
   with syslinux, this makes for a system that's easy to modify.

   The system scripts make an "El Torito" bootable CD. The boot image is
   made from a 1.44 meg floppy. I want to know how to create a bootable
   2.88 meg floppy image, without have a 2.88 meg floppy disk/drive. This
   would allow me add more things to the kernel than is currently
   possible, as my floppy now only has about 2800 bytes free.

   I put the files on the second partition under /root/livecd/, mount the
   second partition on /mnt, then run the scripts .
   /mnt/root/lived/makeboot.sh.

# 「こんなのあるから誰か試しに作ってみない ?」という話を持ちかけているところ。
