	LiveCD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most LiveCDs contain a system based on the GNU system and the Linux kernel, but there are also LiveCDs based on other operating systems, such as Mac OS, Mac OS X, BeOS, FreeBSD, Minix, NetBSD, Plan 9 or Microsoft Windows, though the legal status of LiveCDs based on Windows code is dubious.
		The first OS to support LiveCD operations appears to have been Mac OS 7 on a CD and any other user-created Macintosh CD with a System Folder, which could be brought to a full desktop from a CD-ROM, in 1991.
		LiveCDs have a reputation for supporting advanced Auto-configuration and Plug-and-play functionality.

		Some LiveCDs come with an installation utility launchable from a desktop icon that can optionally install the system on a hard drive (Computer hardware that holds and spins a magnetic or optical disk and reads and writes information on it) or USB (additional info and facts about USB) keydrive (additional info and facts about keydrive).
		Most LiveCDs can access the information on internal and/or external harddrives, diskette (A small plastic magnetic disk enclosed in a stiff envelope with a radial slit; used to store data or programs for a microcomputer) s and USB (additional info and facts about USB) Flash memories (additional info and facts about Flash memories).
		On a PC (A small digital computer based on a microprocessor and designed to be used by one person at a time), a bootable CD generally conforms to the El Torito (additional info and facts about El Torito) specification which treats a special file on the disc (possibly hidden) as a floppy diskette image.

	The FreeBSD LiveCD Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The FreeBSD LiveCD Tool Set has a main goal, wich is to allow one to generate their own custom FreeBSD Live CDs.
		At this point, under those scenario, we decided to publically distribute the set of scripts that we were using to create the LiveCD, allowing anyone to create their own custom distribution.
		If the CD Space are not anought to run your many programs, LiveCD allows you to use your FAT or EXT2 Disk Slices to install other programs - and even to save your permanent configuration - and if its your choice enviroment, you will be able to use it as instalation media.

	Spin up a Linux LiveCD
		LiveCD distributions of Linux are several years old, but the number of such distributions has multiplied several times in the last year or two.
		SLAX is a LiveCD based on Slackware, and probably in keeping with the Slackware philosophy, it is relatively minimal in size.
		Many of the LiveCD distributions are derived from Knoppix (see also their multi-language home page).

		The article should be moved to Linx LiveCD's and a new one written though.
		LiveCD's are pretty simple things and I can't see how this article got so screwed up.

	Elive
		You should not see Elive as a common LiveCD, that word can't explain what it really is. First of all, Elive has one of the best hardware autodetection and selfconfiguration of the linux systems, as well as a wide support for different kinds of monitors.
		Elive is not only a liveCD, but also a debian based distribution (actually in etch) that can be installed on the harddisk.
		The installation differs from every other liveCD, there have been much work to make it clean (common live cd installations are pretty buggy).

		Screenshot of Gnoppix desktop In computing, Gnoppix is a Debian-based LiveCD that uses the GNOME desktop environment.

		LiveCDs are the main supporters of Auto-configuration and Plug-and-play, because the user shouldn't be bothered to configure the system if all the configuration should also be done the next reboot.

	Creating a Fedora Core 4 LiveCD - FedoraNEWS.ORG
		All parts of the filesystem that need to be runtime-writable are placed under a special folder in the filesystem root (/livecd), and are symlinked back to their previous locations.
		Since all writable parts are located under /livecd, they can also be stored in an archive which is used at runtime to populate the tmpfs filesystem that will be mounted on /livecd.
		Test the livecd on either the system you used for the build, or on another system which is known to work with the current fedora core release (and kernel).

	Linux LiveCDs
		Well, a LiveCD is simply a boot CD that loads itself entirely from the CD, without modifying anything on the computer.
		At one point my hard drive died on my computer and I was still mostly functional for 3 weeks without it using a mix of Knoppix, Damn Small Linux, and Lindows CD Long story short, LiveCDs have already proven useful to me and they have great potential in many emerging fields.
		Apparently It has been around for quite some time with Knoppix as the earliest distro of LiveCD that I could find, although I have also seen sightings of Slackware, Mandrake, and i've heard rumors of a Red Hat: Fedora distro out there as well.

	Using a liveCD as your Linux Desktop
		Most of the "Desktop" Linux liveCD distributions (distros) are meant to to be used for trying out or demoing Linux before installing them to your hard drive.
		However, many liveCD distros can be used as a day to day desktop without ever installing them to your hard drive.
		Also, Linux liveCDs can often be installed and booted from a USB drive (thanks to some excellent standards around booting from USB drives).

		A Linux LiveCD is a wonderful way for newcomers to discover this OS.
		For experienced users it is a secure and fast way to get to know the flavours of different Linux distributions, to try out new software, to repair a system or to test hardware.

	Assess system security using a Linux LiveCD
		A LiveCD is an operating system (plus other software) stored on a bootable CD-ROM from which the OS can be executed without having to go through time-consuming installation.
		Some LiveCDs come with an installation utility that lets you install the system on a hard drive or USB keydrive; most can access information on internal/external hard drives, disks, and Flash memories.
		Developing a LiveCD in this way is tricky due to the very nature of the way you develop and then build a live CD distribution.

	Building a Windows LiveCD with Bart's PE for Linux users - LinuxQuestions.org
		I remembered a Slashdot article on a Windows LiveCD project, so I decided that would be the best solution for my problem.
		Again, compared to the richness and diversity of the applications packaged with Knoppix and its variants (where what you get with the LiveCD is a fully functional Linux OS and userland), PE LiveCD's are pretty lame.
		In conclusion, a Bart's PE LiveCD is a nifty tool for us Linux users who only need to occasionally boot into Windows to run a simple utility, and don't want to waste hard-drive space for a full Windows install.

	BabyTUX.org \| Articles - How to create a live boot CD containing your favorite Linux Distro
		Once the packages had been installed and it was time to create users I created one user called livecd with no password and set password as admin123 for root.
		A workaround to this problem could be to extend the linuxrc script to use some sort of grep for a particular string (such as the string "Live CD" on the /etc/issue file) of the mounted LIVECD to make sure we have mounted the correct one.
		The reason one is able to become root using su is because su itself is executed as the root user using a special permission bit called the suid bit.

	Create your own Mandrake LiveCD with mklivecd! - LinuxQuestions.org
		I thought maybe I could load it on a friend's laptop to show him how Mandrake Linux would work on his machine, but after trying it myself I think I'd be embarrassed to.
		Yeah, unfortunately that is the problem with LiveCD distros, that they are quit dependant upon the speed of the drive for performance.
		LiveCD's are great to use in a pinch, but IMHO are not viable for prolonged use.

		A comparable LiveCD can be built using other distros, but this approach is almost too easy.
		A LiveCD is a CDROM disc which a computer can boot from, and then run from.
		Any LiveCD ISO you create will be built in memory (or swap) so your swap partition must be big enough to hold all the uncompressed filesystems for your LiveCD.

		Scheduled to be finalized in April 2006, this test release has buckets full of new features for both the installed version, and LiveCD versions, which are available for download.
		One of the first live CDs to manage this was Knoppix, which is so good at sniffing out strange hardware and configuring it that sceptical Windows users are regularly bowled over by the sight of their machine being turned into a powerful GNU/Linux system in minutes.
		Knoppix, the most well known LiveCD, is holding a contest for new graphics to include in future releases.
