Boot CD and terms of use
Hi,
what is the best method to create a boot CD (i386) using Debian? Is it advisable to use the generic kernel from the network installation CD or would you recommend to compile a custom kernel? Or is it perhaps better to base it on something like Knoppix (which in turn is based on Debian).
In addition I'd like to know how the following works. I am asking this because our company would like to offer a wizard that allows the end-user to create a bootable CD. Now, what are the implications from the GPL? The program that is supposed to be included is proprietary. This is similar to the (Linux-based) rescue CDs included in products such as TrueImage, Paragon Drive Backup ... I've never seen those companies offering the source code or scripts used to build it. But that's not the point because we would be happy to offer those. However, is it really necessary to provide the source form of all packages used, or is it enough to provide the tools to do it via a Debian system?
Thanks for any comments,
// Oliver
