User Feedback :: Steal a great idea from Puppy Linux



What about using a CDRW ! DSL load toram, than use it, configure it. Than erase the cdrw and write the new configured dsl!

Cdrw's can be written/erased for about 1000times I think. So the idea of puppy linux is good as well, as it would not depend on erasing/writing that much.

Not that this is really needed, but it would be nice wouldn't it?

Would it really be that portable? My friend's cdrom cannot read my cdroms that I use multi-session.  Also, backup too slow. Seems you would be stuck using only the machine that wrote the mult-session. Or do I have a cheap bruner? Or mybe my friend has a bad cd reader?? Seems kinda risky and a hassle too.
Puppy is a RPM based distro. You cannot apt get, which is a minus. DSL can remaster from RAM as Meo has shown.

However it is worthwhile to look intpo possibilties of using DSL in the same way. In making dsl extensions there is a problem in that there must not be any post installation changes. But this can be done in uci extensions.

The way DSl does things still has an edge over Puppy -and the advangtage of Debian based distro, and Knoppix hardware detection.

This is a real issue. Out here, a couple of my friends' (mine too) computers simply refused to boot from multi session CDs.
What's the point of a small distro that almost anyone can download and use, even on old machines, if it can't work on old machines?  I think adding this capability would take away from our "target market."
