Making a Live Disc?

Posted on May 13, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I want to make a live disc of a Linux operating system, so I downloaded the “ISO” of Ubuntu 7.10. After downloading I used “ISO Buster” to extract the files. Then wrote them on to a disc. But, when I tried to boot form the disc the computer goes ahead into my second boot option which is the hard drive, skipping the CD. I tried both the x86 and x64 versions. And even tried it on another computer nothing seems to help. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the disc?

Thanks.

What is the best linux Distrobution?

Posted on May 6, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I am a complete Linux Newb, I have little experience with linux, but I’m fed up with microsoft and proprietary software. I have a Sabayon Live CD, but is it worth installing the full 3.9GB version on my laptop? It has all the drivers I need, including the wireless card and touch pad drivers, so I won’t have to install them.

Linux Live distro storage?

Posted on May 5, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Okay, so here’s the details. Read them all before asking a question in your response.

-I’m running Backtrack 2 off of a Live CD
-I have virtually no linux knowledge, so please be clear when talking about linux-specific things.

Now, let’s say I’m running Backtrack off the Live CD. Completely Linux, not inside Windows. I just installed the driver for my Wireless card. Next time I boot up Backtrack, will my driver still be installed?

Also, If I store a file, will it be stored on the CD itself, or somewhere else? Or nowhere at all, and I can’t access it after a reboot?

To help me learn, it would be helpful if you explain your answer =] (Not to sound like a teacher, just to be clear on that. I HATE school just as much as anyone)

Thanks,
Richard
