Can you install software while using a linux live disc?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I’m basically going to help a buddy install a keylogger into his fiance’s computer, because I caught her “doing something bad” with another guy in her car outside of a bar while he was out of town. He believes me but wants evidence so she’ll be the one stuck paying the deposits for all of their wedding plans when he cancels them.

Anyways, we obviously don’t want her to know that we know, just yet. So, to install the keylogger without knowing (or messing up) her Vista password, I was wondering if I could use a Linux live CD (so at this point, we’ll have access to her hard drive and system) AND download/install a keylogger.

The reason I ask is, 1. I’m not sure if you can install ANYTHING using a Live CD, and 2. I’m not sure if installing this program while using Linux would actually write to the correct directory and the registry itself (this program is made to boot with Windows).

Any technical input on this?

Did I install DSL (Damn Small Linux) Correctly? =S?

Posted on May 18, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I have always been a mac guy but lately have been messing around with the command line and also learning how to program in Ruby. Today, I decided to install Damn Small Linux on my old computer in the garage. So I popped in the live cd, tested it out, then decided to do a hard drive install. I restarted, typed “install” at the command prompt then a list of options popped up. I went into cfdisk and deleted the windows partition (so there was my entire harddisk space free–no other partitions.) Then I clicked Create and clicked Primary and it asked how much space I wanted to use–I put half the total amount. Then I clicked create again and this time I clicked (I think it was called secondary or something like that??) and made the space the rest of the space I had left…this is the part that confused me. I wasn’t sure if I should have just made one primary linux partition or the two. Then it asked me if I wanted to install a boot loader (I guessed and said yes.) Did I do it right?
Oh, and after creating the two partitions I wrote them both to the disk, then said yes to installing Grub boot loader. Do I need a boot loader if only running DSL and no other OS? I also created two users, 1 root and 2 dsl–and gave them different passwords. Lastly, if I want to save a file to the desktop, it says there is no “Desktop” directory, so where do I save it to? On my mac I save my program files in a folder titled, “programs” then open the terminal and type: cd Desktop/programs
then type: ruby filename.rb
and it runs. How do I do this on DSL or linux in general?

Thanks!!
