Linux CD – live distributions

picture of a keyboard
Because I try to find out the best features from all the existing distributions for my own one (called grml), today I tried to run phlak (0.2.1) [a derivative of Morphix] and fire (0.4a) [Forensic and Incident Response Environment]. While phlak tried to access the CD-ROM for more than 5 minutes without doing anything (hanging at PCMCIA-initialization), fire had problems with it’s own init-system. So I rebooted my box, maybe I’ll have more success with both distributions when using a non-laptop-system ;o).

    Also tried phlak on compaq/hp 2190 laptop. It installed but no way could I access orinoco wifi. I have tried dozens and some go quickly and easily: mandrake move, knoppix, morphix, overclokix. The rest have problems: no keyboard, no net, no boot, etc. jon/marjbr8@hotmail.com
