 LiveCD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The system returns to its previous OS when the LiveCD is ejected and the computer is rebooted.
The syslinux utility is used to boot Linux based LiveCDs as well as Linux floppies.
The first OS to support LiveCD operations appears to have been Mac OS 7 on a CD and any other user-created Macintosh CD with a System Folder, which could be brought to a full desktop from a CD-ROM, in 1991.

 Spin up a Linux LiveCD
Novel LiveCD distribution -- much like new Linux distributions generally -- package different software collections for different groups of users, and fine-tune configuration and setup details to meet the ideas of their creators.
However, the Mepis LiveCD environment is perfectly usable as-is, and you can easily save any documents or files you modify to other media.
An introduction to the first version of Knoppix, and where it came from, can be found at Building a self-contained auto-configuring Linux system on an iso9660 filesystem.

 NewsForge Creating a custom Linux LiveCD With PCLinuxOS
LiveCD Linux distributions offer a great way to learn Linux, troubleshoot computer problems, and share Linux with others.
The mklivecd tool, which is used to create a LiveCD Linux, can also be used with Mandrakelinux.
The process of creating your own PCLinuxOS-based LiveCD (also known as remastering) consists of three major steps: 1) installing the system on your computer, 2) customising the installed system by tweaking its settings and installing/removing software packages, 3) creating an ISO image.

 Talk:LiveCD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are LiveDistros based on kernels such as Hurd, BSD, Solaris, etc. Thus either LiveCD should be merged into LiveDistro, or it should focus on distributions that are distributed strictly on a CD, similar as the page about bootable business card LiveDistros focused particularly on LiveDistros distributed on business card CDs.
The syslinux utility is used to boot most LiveCDs as well as Linux floppies.
I mentioned one example of some information that you might have that, if you could be persuaded to share it instead of whining that it wasn't there and the fact that it wasn't there proved our GNU bias, would improve the article.

 Elive
You should not see Elive as a common LiveCD, that word can't explain what it really is. First of all, Elive has one of the best hardware autodetection and selfconfiguration of the linux systems, as well as a wide support for different kinds of monitors.
The installation differs from every other liveCD, there have been much work to make it clean (common live cd installations are pretty buggy).
Elive is your GNU/Linux distribution based on Enlightenment 17 and 16 desktop environments with a selection of the best things available in the linux world.

 Linux LiveCDs
Well, a LiveCD is simply a boot CD that loads itself entirely from the CD, without modifying anything on the computer.
Posted by Robert @ 5:53 AM Well, as you all might know, I have been interested in Linux for quite a while now, and have been dual booting almost as long as I have had a computer.
At one point my hard drive died on my computer and I was still mostly functional for 3 weeks without it using a mix of Knoppix, Damn Small Linux, and Lindows CD Long story short, LiveCDs have already proven useful to me and they have great potential in many emerging fields.

 Assess system security using a Linux LiveCD
There are number of emulators on the market that you can use to try a LiveCD without the need to burn it to a CD or boot it on the computer.
A LiveCD is an operating system (plus other software) stored on a bootable CD-ROM from which the OS can be executed without having to go through time-consuming installation.
Developing a LiveCD in this way is tricky due to the very nature of the way you develop and then build a live CD distribution.

 Creating a Fedora Core 4 LiveCD - FedoraNEWS.ORG
After the installation is done, you can run the master system in livecd mode by either creating/removing the (empty) flagfile /.livecd without any further modifications to the system.
That means, that this livecd concept will work with any kernel without the need of patching and/or recompilation for additional features and modules.
One of the main design goals for this concept was to avoid the need of patching the kernel or requirering non-standard kernel features, another to separate the process of building the livecd from modifying the system.

Since this version of the LiveCD is tracking the LFS development instructions and is slated for release when the current LFS development book becomes stable, there will likely be many changes between this CD and the final x86-6.2 CD.
At this time not all the software available on the other x86 LiveCD's is available on this one.
Due to the limited number of machines at our disposal, development of the ppc LiveCD moves a little slower than the x86 versions.

In conclusion, a Bart's PE LiveCD is a nifty tool for us Linux users who only need to occasionally boot into Windows to run a simple utility, and don't want to waste hard-drive space for a full Windows install.
It works by copying required files from the compressed setup *.cab files on either a Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server setup CD; Windows 9x, Me and 2000 setup CD's are insufficient as their versions of necessary system files don't allow for live CD booting.

 BabyTUX.org Articles - How to create a live boot CD containing your favorite Linux Distro
A workaround to this problem could be to extend the linuxrc script to use some sort of grep for a particular string (such as the string "Live CD" on the /etc/issue file) of the mounted LIVECD to make sure we have mounted the correct one.
Having copied the read/write device files (as we understand to be required :) we finally symlink to the rest of the device files.
We do this by mapping the /tmp to that of the initial ram disk, thus /var/lock will point to /tmp/var/lock and /var/run to /tmp/var/run which will be writable.

As evident from the version history of the old series of LiveCDs there were lots of issues with software breaking due to the difficulty to convince the package manager to do proper dependency checks and enforce the rebuilding of software packages when the tools used to build them change.
The basis of the LiveCD images is now the reliable Micro Package Manager.

The infrastructure for this will be flexible, so that it can be easily customized and re-targetted- for example, to distribute a version with a custom splashscreen for a specific conference, to change the language for distribution by non-en_US gnome groups, or to change the software set to market to different groups (artists, developers, etc.)
