Tiny Knoppix for small downloadable bootable ISO Apps

**WanderingStar** · 03-08-2003, 08:17 PM

It would be nice if an extremely small boot ISO were available easily. Ultimately if a games developer could release a downloadable game that when burnt on CD just booted detected 3D card and worked it would be awesome. U wouldnt have to publish for Windows. Whilst Knoppix as it stands is great if u r publishing on CD it incurs a huge download time on a game demo with an integrated ISO boot image. Its important cos this would allow Windows users to download and try Linux apps who otherwise wouldnt. Also the games/apps would run very smoothly. Ive had frame rate drop cos the hard drive has gone off on one in Windows.

in order to geht this thing really usable, it should have a frontend application like kpackage that would allow you to EASILY install the software you need and then burn the CD.

Heh, thanks god for all your pluggin'

probono: working on it, for now you can just add a file to the cdrom with your favorite cdburner prog to add a module. Still pretty premature and no real app-modules available, but slowly getting there

(especially the nvidiadriver is giving me more problems than i anticipated, but once this is solved...
