It'd be an interesting thing to set up to give people at LUG meetings. It's kinda what I wanted to do with a Zip disk.. Bring me a Zip disk and I'll give you a working Linux system that doesn't use any HD space. The message before this one explains how to make a CD with defaults and a throwaway /var and /etc. I think instead I would in order to make this thing not just a demo but actually useful in a place that you can't have Linux (goin' to friend's house, friend has Windoze but I wanna use Linux) I'd have some way to use a loopback filesystem on the HD to save defaults like X settings and such. Could be quite useful. I'll look in to building something to do this if nobody else has once I start working on the Zip version of the same. More will fit on the CD-ROM, but the Zip is more upgradable and I can build the Zip disks custom from a mirror.. =>
