Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘program’

whenever the computer turns on, this program called “Security Tool” pops up and tells me everything is infected. each time i try to open something, im told its infected. are there any linux distro’s that run on a live CD with an antivirus program for windows?
i assumed security tools was the virus

i have Slax and it is running off a live CD so it isn’t anything to do with dual boot. i cant get into windows so i cant chkdisk or anything like that

I have a Linux live CD I’m currently using due to some evil virus that wont let me start up my PC or even boot to safe Mode. My question is how can I download an antivirus? I’d like to check over the infected hard drive and see if it can help anything. When I try to download anything, it always say’s chose the program to run the file. I dont know what to run it with. I am using Knoppix. The OS also wont let me install flash etc seems it’s being blocked or disabled. I cant view You Tube or other videos either. It’s a nifty system but it seems to have limitations?

OK, here’s the story.

I am a PC know-it-all and I know heaps about PC hardware and I know Windows like the back of my hand. But when it comes to talking Macintosh or Linux and all the rest I am completely useless.

So what I want to do is on our school computers (yes I am 15 and go to high school) get Ubuntu (8.10) running live from CD/DVD doesn’t matter and have VMware Workstation 6.5.0 for Linux installed onto the live so my friends and I can run Windows virtual machines and get past all the shitty restrictions their Windows installation have.

But I’m stuck…
I am so useless I cannot even work out how to install anything on Ubuntu. Can anyone PLEASE give me REALLY simple baby steps on how to make a live CD/DVD (I expect I will have to use DVD) that has VMware Workstation installed on it.

ALL help is appreciated.

Thankyou very much,

There is a great program called “Easy File Sharing Web Server” (http://www.file-sharing.com) that does exactly what I want to do. However, it costs money that I do not want to put down at this point.

I did some research and found I can create an Integrated Web Server with Apache (http://www.appservnetwork.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=46). I’ve configured all my ports and got a basic webpage to come up.

Now I need to build a webpage that allows:
- Users to log in
- Users to upload and download files

I know very basic HTML, so I would need to find a free HTML editor that could assist me with this. Particularly building an interface to upload and download files. (I don’t even know where to start with this.)

Does anyone have any recommendations? Does anyone know if there is a Live CD (linux or otherwise) that can provide this sort of setup?

Any help would be appreciated. I know what I’m asking for is complex.
