Very small live cd with mount and copy functions

[Didi1357]

Hello,

I searched in some distro choosers, and on this site, but I wasn't able to find one which is able to do the things I want from it. For the first: I don't need a graphical interface. Commandline is quite enough, and it should start very fast. Hmm let me sum that up

-Live-CD
-Very-Fast-Start
-No graphical interface ( i hope this is the right name for that... in german its called
Graphische Oberfläche )
-mount
-copy
-maybe bootable from usb-stick

I'm really keen on your ideas Thx for help

Greetings Didi

Have you looked at SLAX? Also, have you considered making your own? I used the Linux Live scripts and made a slackware live cd tailored to my needs. It was pretty easy.

[Didi1357]

yes I have already looked at slax... but it is too slow for my idea... Linux Live Scripts? Hmm... sounds good... So with these I make my own distro? cool

And thanx for the information You, are really a help

You can roll your own distro with a number of tools.

Couple options:
Building a Live CD - ArchWiki
UCK - Ubuntu Customization Kit

For very lightweight distros (which do have an optional GUI but not necessary)
Tiny Core Linux, Micro Core Linux, 10MB Linux GUI Desktop, Live, Frugal, Extendable
SliTaz GNU/Linux (en)

Slightly less light:
SystemRescueCd
grml.org - Linux Live system/CD for sysadmins and texttools-users

Well, I was going to suggest Tiny Core but see that someone beat me to it!

Thanks. I love Arch, I will have to check it out.

Thank you for the much information This helped me really much... I think I will search for micro core linux, or build my own with the above suggested options. Again thank you very much
