I'm looking for debian-based since I know how it works e.g. setting up
networking, raid and lvm stuff, etc. It'll only take 9 nights to get
Knoppix so I'll do that and perhaps later make a USB-based rescue set up
like I had for woody-floppy (with 4GB instead of 1.44 MB to play with).
I haven't done a detailed search of aptitude yet but for all I know
there's a package that makes live CDs from an installed system.
Thanks,
Doug.
