Hi all, I was wondering if it possible to have a Centos LiveCD installation boot from a Compact Flash in a embeded x86 (Wrap/Alix) platform *and* be able to save the changes made to the File System back to the Flash memory.
You would need to really hack at it to get it to that. The ability to do that did not get into Fedora until 9 so its part of the init scripts or the livecd tools to make an overlay partition.
So, the next time the LiveCD boots it will have all the changes made.
The problem I'm trying yo solve is:
- fast boot time
- fast recovery when the Linux is shutdown improperly (power failure, etc)
- be able to upgrade some rpm packages via yum
Will a LiveCD (squash/union FS) be a better solution than booting Centos directly from an ext2(fewer I/O than ext3) partition?
Many thanks in advance Oliver
