Your Subject heading states "live usb *dvd*" [my emphasis) but the body of your posts asks about "I can have a live cd".
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.
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?
Hi Any filesystem would do so long as it had most of the files. The reason it's more interesting is that it would be much quicker than zypper dup with only Internet connection speed to rely upon. A recent zypper dup -d and zypper dup took over 6 hours on a netbook that doesn't have a dvd drive. Booting from a like kde cd gives it only a few files. The rest have to be downloaded. That's ok if you have a fast connection and you have the knowledge of how to get e.g. broadcom wireless working.
