Introduction

Make the Breezy live CD competitive with, or superior to, any other modern live CD platform.

Rationale

Scope and Use Cases

• Breezy's live CD must be feature-comparable to popular live CDs, including Knoppix and Morphix

Implementation Plan

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.
      • NOTE: PPC still does not have unionfs.
      • hch from #debian-kernel says that unionfs is generally oopsorama.
    • 2005/07/29 - ppc has unionfs too.
    • 2005-08-15 - unionfs udebs added, casper support added and uploaded.

  • squashfs vs. cloop

    • done - 10/05/2005 with 2.6.11.92-1.1 kernel upload.
• Features
  • Automatic mounting of hard disk partitions
    • Read-only or read/write?
    • What to do about unclean filesystems? (e.g., swsusp)
  • Recovery tools
    • Graphical partition table editor?
  • Persistence
    • Persistent home directory
    • Persistent filesystem overlay
  • "Share this CD": one-click bittorrent seed

UDU Pre-Work

• Create feature comparison matrix for Ubuntu live vs. Knoppix vs. Morphix vs. ???

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
