Live cd, built from scratch for optimal size and speed (ricer mentality I know, but here it counts). All in all, it's running reasonable with no X server, but for all the extra fun enhancements, it looks like X needs to be loaded somehow. Feel free to add in stuff you'd like to see in a ultra-tiny but still capable live cd.

Kraken2

This was a fairly short lived version. Basically, it used the debian kernel and a lot of the binaries with basic dependency resolving and hardware detection support. Kraken2 was developed for a week or so. Development pretty much stopped at the beginnings of a package manager.

Kraken1

Live cd, built from scratch for optimal size and speed (ricer mentality I know, but here it counts). All in all, it's running reasonable with no X server, but for all the extra fun enhancements, it looks like X needs to be loaded somehow.

Features

kernel

  • openmosix
    • 2.6.17-om1
      • builds
      • rumored unstable with openmosix
      • userland tools don't work
      • leaning towards this right now
        • it's already built to my liking
        • 2.4.27 has problems on some machines
        • i'm not going to be clustering this that much anyway
        • Waldo/Guerilla filesystem will work here just as well as 2.4
    • 2.4.27-om1
      • already compiled, meaning not as small as it could be
      • ancient
      • userland tools work

  • openssh
    • it works
    • not *that* big

browser

  • links
    • using version 2 for fb graphics
    • blue screens (literally) on exit
  • firefox
    • bigger
    • requires X
    • more complient

windows compatibility

  • qemu
    • not fully tested
    • not friendly with vga=791
  • wine
    • dependent on X
    • don't need to login to the system to use the apps installed locally

window manager

  • something small and quick
    • fluxbox?
    • joe's wm
    • anything else?
      • ratpoison?
