Like Skoleknoppix?
Or is this something else?
The downside I could see is that the programs read from the CD
would not be as stable as read errors from CD-ROM are more frequent than from harddisk.
A number of machines are not able to boot from a PXE ethernetcard.
There is no such functionality on the mainboard.
Floppies are not as reliable.
A great number of Pentium 1 and 2 machines
I pass in dumped containers on the street
have CD-ROM installed.
Would it be possible to make a generic boot CDR
that would just autodetect the ethernetcard present in the computer
and just make it work without the man in charge understanding diddly?
So that making a custom bootfloppy
would be unneeded?

I probably don't understand all of this fully.
But don't worry - I am not a programmer - Just a Radio-Fernseh Techniker :-)
