LiveCD News

DistroWatch Weekly has a thorough review of the BSD based LiveCD named Frenzy.

ReviewLinux.Com reviews GParted LiveCD 0.2.5-1. Lots of screenshots to go with the review.

OSDir.com has screenshots of the Partition Magic replacement GParted LiveCD.

Linux.com reviews the extremely useful GParted LiveCD.

Need a way to resize NTFS partitions, mirror disk images, or otherwise muck about with disk partitions — and don’t want to use a proprietary package like Partition Magic? If so, the GNOME Partition Editor (GParted) is an excellent open source tool for the task. The GParted team released the GParted live CD version 0.2.4-2 this month, so I decided it was a good time to take GParted for a spin.

DistroWatch Weekly reports on one of the first (the first?) release of a premade LiveDVD which includes multiple Linux LiveCDs. Included on the 4+ GB ISO download is Knoppix, Ubuntu Dapper, Livux, PCLinuxOS, SimplyMEPIS, SystemRescueCD, Puppy Linux, Elive, and Damn Small Linux.

As seen on Digg, O’Reilly has posted a hack from their Knoppix Hacks book showing how to use a Knoppix CD to scan a Windows machine for viruses.

DistroWatch Weekly introduces us to a Spanish language website detailing the steps (with screenshots) of creating a LiveDVD capable of booting multiple LiveCDs. It’s in the third paragraph down.

All you need to do is to download the ISO images of those distributions that you’d like to have on the live DVD, place them into correct directories, set up GRUB’s menu.lst, and execute a script.

GParted’s 33 MB LiveCD whose only purpose is partitioning is now at versoin 0.1. This makes a nice business card sized utility CD.
