Cloop HDD install, mini-cloops, & MAC addresses?
Cloop HDD install, mini-cloops, & MAC addresses?
Is it possible to just copy the CD to the HDD rather than installing it?
This would be for a lock-down type app. corp desktop, internet cafe, library, school, etc.
What I'm after is to create 4 partitions on a blank drive:
[700MB] Knoppix CD
[128MB] Swap
[32-128MB] Home(s)
[rest] unused/NFS
I want to use the raw compressed drive, just on a HDD not the CD. The reasoning is that it's read-only which in this case is a good thing. I want it to act just like the CD-Rom install--Use persistant home for saved files, etc. The idea being for support, you just recopy the compressed folder & backup only the smaller home files!
Another question I have:
Would it be possible to "Chain" cloop-ed folders together? Again, to remaster w/o remastering. If this could work all you would have to do is short the CD 50-100 MB then add in your custom part! Two reasons for this are I simply don't have the skills to install/edit/remaster yet, & I'd like the extra part to be as portable as possible to the next knoppix CD w/o redoing all the work. Ideally, this could extend to the whole thing! Start with the smallest useable 185MB disc and just add packages to the larger disk. hey, it's a thought...
Last thing:
Could there be a addition to the persistant home to check against the MAC address/DHCP for configuration? This would allow you to have config saves for each PC/network you regularly access. One for work with just quick news stuff, one for home with all your goodies, and one for taking to friends, lan parties, etc. Then you could configure it for specific needs: be producive at work/hide the porn/etc..
