translucency=overlay filesystem: hottest tech so far
This is the hottest technology in the Knoppix field.
The idea with translucency is that on bootup everything works as in standard koppix, but then you can change and delete files as you want and only the "difference" is saved by the "overlay filesystem".
Bernhard Wiedemann, the author of the translucency filesystem, wrote:
"and for anyone happening to read this - want to have a look at the compactest way of making your own customized bootcd?http://lsmod.de/bootcd/Makefile (beta quality only yet)"
He posted to the Knoppix developer mailing list: http://mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermai...ry/001879.html
"When all is set up correctly (see make init)
its about just calling "make iso" or "make rw" to master or
burn a complete remastered CD-RW... you may have a
preconfigured, adapted, autohardwareconfiguring standard Debian system within the "linuxroot" dir (it should also work with any other
distribution).

Hmm, there were some people playing around with it, but it had problems with symlinks (performance wise). was thinking about using it for on-the-fly addition of software, but i didn't get to it yet.
It was mentioned a few times before and seems like a logical step, however i think it'll need a bit more testing...

Right, the biggest problem so far seems to be that software can be installed but not UNinstalled - but that shouldn't be a real problem for a Live CD ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Btw, who else is playing around with this?
