Live Linux(R) CDs: Building and Customizing Bootables (Negus Live Linux Series)

Buy

Dream the perfect computer system, then build it to run on a Linux live CD!


A Linux live CD is more than just a Linux system you carry around. Start with a live CD that has all your favorite applications. Include and play photo slideshows, presentations, Web content, and music collections. Incorporate your own designs, colors, and images to appear everywhere from the boot prompt to the desktop.

When you are done, you have a perfectly customized CD or DVD that can run on almost any PC that you can reboot. In Live LinuxВ® CDs, bestselling Linux author Christopher Negus guides you through the free software tools and toys you need to try out and create specialized Linux live CDs for security, presentations, gaming, multimedia, firewalls, and clustering. It is the first start-to-finish guide to using, creating, building, and remastering your own live Linux distributions.

Working from live CD technology on the accompanying DVD, you can

  • Boot and run live Linux versions of KNOPPIX, SLAX, Gentoo, Damn Small Linux, and other live CDs
  • Burn and boot Linux live CD ISO images of Ubuntu, KNOPPIX, SLAX, MoviX, BackTrack, and more
  • Build your own live CDs from instructions based on KNOPPIX (Debian), Fedora, Gentoo, Damn Small Linux, and SLAX
  • Create multimedia players that are customized to include your own video or music
  • Customize live CD rescue toolkits to analyze and repair data on compromised networks, Windows PCs, and Linux systems
  • Configure personal firewalls to protect from Internet intruders
  • Control the processing power of a group of computers, using live CD clusters

 

The goal of this book is to introduce you to the world of Linux live CDs and then take you as far as you want to go with it. You might just want to try out some existing live CDs (we give you some to try). If you like a particular live CD, you might want to save settings and data across reboots. Or, eventually, you might want to build a live CD completely customized to your desires.
