Well, you could just as easily have Owl run off a hard drive mounted
read-only + a ramdisk for run-time files. But a CD is a good option
too.
Yes, you could do that, by simply modifying our ISOs with the settings
you require:
- "cp -a" everything off an official Owl CD (do not miss the magic
".Owl-CD-ROM" file);
- chroot to your copy;
While chrooted:
- apply any desired changes (e.g., issue "service iptables save" to
save your current iptables rules to be activated upon next bootup);
- configure the system to boot into multi-user: remove the option
"single" from /etc/lilo.conf entries, make the appropriate entry the
default, invoke /boot/floppy.update;
Leave the chroot, and finally:
- generate the new ISO and burn it onto a CD-RW with:
mkisofs -vlRJ -b boot/floppy.image -c boot/boot.catalog Owl-CD | cdrecord -v - blank=fast
Note that "mkisofs" and "cdrecord" are currently not a part of Owl;
you can get unofficial packages that work on Owl here:
