Hello ..
I have just found about this linux version and i have to say that im completely impressed...
And i have a question-idea...

Is it possible to make this distro use as a harddrive the cd its on???
Im mean.. is it possible to put a program.. or the kernel ... that will save any info you would like on the cd that this distro is on , afcource if the cd is re-writable??

it's possible - but then you'd need a bigger cd....

There isn't 550 left if you use the business-card CD's like I believe it was intended to run on...

However, if you were to run DSL off of a 600M you "could" save your work to the other areas of the cd.... but not at the same time you're running DSL. Also, you would need a cdrecord front-end in DSL to be able to do it.

It seems (at least my) CD-RW drive likes to puke when you try to burn to the same CD that your currently running your system off of.
