Jggimi - LiveCD for travel
@Jggimi
This article in the NYtimes and recent livecd release by the Dept of Defense Computer Security made me wonder if your live cd's would also be a good means to maintain internet access when traveling. Two quick questions: 1) Is the 001bind patch in the livecd's? 2) Would you consider a CD in the mode of the DoD possibly with abiword/gnumeric/epdfview/firefox? Thanks for providing the livecd's Last edited by J65nko; 24th February 2012 at 02:09 AM. Reason: misspelled jiggimi |

@Jgimmi , thankI wish you the best of luck with this great contribution ..
gnumeric/abiword/xpdf/xfe/fvwm/ ..... keep it fit .. I rememeber when I first used GnoBSD .. that was so cool but unfortunately so slow too and even more slower to insall .. I wonder if your livecd is installible via UNetbootin .. I used to use it on windows but only to install live gnu-linuxes (wattOS/lubuntu/gOS/slax) .. usually a liveOS user expects responsivity and net features more than the rest .. I already have a copy of my teacher's livecd .. basic .. :-) .. as I have jibbed .. (pentoo is history now .. though it did the job well) Last edited by daemonfowl; 23rd February 2012 at 05:18 AM. |

I've never looked at the tool before. Having now skimmed their documentation, I would believe that the media I have published to date would not be able to be used, since it uses El Torito boot blocks, and the tool only handles hard drive and diskette images. Should I decide to create USB bootable images, then they will have MBRs and PBRs and a solution like this might be useful for Windows users. Thanks again! |

I wish you good success in this !
Live usb technology is growing to become the best for live media .. pen sticks getting cheaper .. +rw , superfast performance on new usb hardware , noiseless , practical to carry everywhere , physically less fragile as to dust/humidity/sun .. :-) .. a question : some would argue that on usbs , the best filesystem to use is non-journaled .. fat32 or ext2 .. as less writing is imposed on the usb fragile sectors .. to what extent is this true ? I once used to use slax on fat32 formatted usb .. it ran well .. but I bet it's not a secure way since fat32 is accessible by all worlds OSes .. how far can the came be done with the BSDs ? (aside from the security issue) |

Discussions of your two raised two issues -- solid state write considerations, and retaining privacy of data on portable media -- should be in their own threads. Both are worth discussing. But not here. It seems your habit of "hijacking" threads (your own threads, as well as those of others) continues.
Remember: one subject, one thread. |

An OpenBSD port contributor was providing live usb images for a while. I do not think unetbootin is available in OpenBSD and this does allow one to generate the images in an OpenBSD box
Another option for making live usb images |
|

Would rawrite32 be suitable for that?

maybe taking a look at linux-based live usb tools source code may help you as a hacker :

I have polled my little mailing list, and received a few positive, and no negative responses, to the following proposed changes for 5.1. In brief:
This would take the configuration into a "production workstation" role, something it has never been before. |

Hi Jgimmi !! How are you doing ?
I don't know if my opinion counts .. anyway .. I hope, for the new Jgimmi LiveCD that you will: * drop libreOffice in favour of light pair {gnumeric+abiword} * Include small but useful utilities like dictd client,gopher,snownews,mutt,transmission,xchm,xpdf * Include keyboard-aware window manager (ion or ratpoison) but set fvwm as default .. * of course those timeless bsdgames :-) * lynx+dillo definitely * xfe I've read avira linux version is installible on unixes .. so if it is included too mayeb it'll add an extra functionality as when one wants to scan windows executables or something .. later on if you decide to implement a liveUSB .. that'll be even more useful .. if avira is not a choice , then maybe clamav+updates is a possible alternative .. a livecd with some antivirus always helps .. and so , Jgimmi's livecd becomes multifunctional .. secure .. lightweight .. OBSD-vigous flavour .. and I'll be among the first who would want to try it .. (I'll be mad to ask you to include geany too .. lol .. it just came across my mind as well .. ) |

The purpose has been rescue, hardware testing, and OS familiarity. What is intended, and will be new, is the option to have general office automation, travel without private data, shared filesystem on hard drive (USB stick) images, and some additional scripting. That's all. |

Thank you. I am aware of the "wiconfig" discussion; it won't meet this particular requirement.
Thank you for your thoughts on the office automation. Alternatively, users may avoid a thick client and choose a browser based solution if needed. |

Along the lines of Security Focused Live CD a new offering from Russia.
