I want to develop a custom version of DemoLinux. Where can I find the necessary instructions for making Linux bootable CDs?
DemoLinux is a modern evolution of what is known as a Live File System. General instructions on how to make a Live File System are available in many places(like LinuxGazette), but we would like to recommend the excellent HOWTO by Hans de Goede as a reference. You may not know it, but you already have all the sources, under GPL licence, of what we did write or modify: they are available in the /misc directory for 1.0 CDs and in the /.demolinux/sources directory for 2.0 CDs, so we did nothing to prevent you from reproducing (with due credits) our work, and you could try to do it yourself again. Nevertheless, it would be far from honest to promise you that without a reasonable deep knowledge of the Linux system, as well as configuration and customization of a distribution, you will be able in a week-end to make a DemoLinux CD: it is simply not that easy, despite our effort to simplify the structure of the system going from 1.0 to 2.0. We are working on a whitepaper on how DemoLinux 3.0 is
