Data Preservation and Migration
Packages Affected
User Interface Requirements
Outstanding Issues
Notes
- Infrastructure
unionfs vs. device-mapper
- done - 09/05/2005 with 2.6.11.91-1.1 kernel upload.

- Features
- Automatic mounting of hard disk partitions
- Read-only or read/write?

- Recovery tools
- Graphical partition table editor?
- Persistence
- Persistent home directory
- Persistent filesystem overlay
- "Share this CD": one-click bittorrent seed

Thoughts/Suggestions
Any thoughts on combining packet writing (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Writing_on_CD-RW) with unionfs on cd-rw drives? -- MikkoVirkkilä
more LiveCDs to compare to here: http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php , possibly consider saving changes as new sessions like Puppy, also simple NTFS resizing for creating dual boot systems with a LiveCD is sorely needed --NicholasBrand
