Build Live CD

NCHU System & Network Lab What is Live CD Live CD is a simple and small operating system Executed upon boot, without installation on a hard drive. It saves a lot of time to install OS and save the space of HD. When your OS has some mistakes that make your PC can not boot, we can use Live CD to save your important data. We can build a Live CD which is easy to customise with the user's preferred applications. NCHU System & Network Lab

How to Use USB Disk to Boot Modify the fedora live cd iso that we did. Step1: Format usb disk, and let it’s file system be FAT32 Step2 syslinux /dev/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /mountpoint //mount usb Step3 mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom //mount iso cp -Rpf /mnt/cdrom/* /mountpoint Step4 Change the file names isolinux.bin =>syslinux.bin isolinux.cfg=>syslinux.cfg NCHU System & Network Lab
