So, which is it? :-)
I want a live dvd
I don't think that such an animal exists.
Having a "live" DVD of 4.3GB is kinda defeating the purpose of a "Live" CD which is only <700MB.
Put the Live *CD* on a USB and use that - but bearing in mind that if you then want to INSTALL oS from the USB it will access the Internet to get all the files not on the CD.
Thus, for installation, it is more interesting a "live" dvd. The loaded image can be small, but it would have all the rpms there for installation.
To me this makes sense, but I suspect that one doesn't have too much DVD space to fool around with to be able to provide the coding to make it "live". As it is, there was a discussion about could be dropped from the DVD because space now is at a premium. No such problem with a CD where you simply only have to provide the basic apps to make oS run in "live" mode - and then use the Internet to install the software which 'you' want should you decide to install it.
But I don't see why it has be a live cd or dvd on usb, which is read-only. Wouldn't it be better an ext3 on usb?
Dunno. Ask the OP. I have never (well, not seriously that is) considered using a USB for such a purpose so cannot answer this. BC -- I work to live not live to work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
