Question

Fedora Spin

Jul 10, 2011 1:54AM PDT

Hi there,

I am trying to set up a live DVD, a custom version of Fedora. I found some documentation for hot to do that from command line, but somehow it didn't work. Are there any GUI tools that I can use?

Thank you.

Regards,
Nick Anghelidi

How? 95% cases GUI tools do exactly same just waste more RAM and computing power for beautiful buttons.

Nick: You might try the Linux forum(s) I know that doing anything DVD related can be really tricky in Linux but it would seem there must be some way to do it. I have used Linux as a dual boot OS for some time now but have never tried to do a live DVD, such as what you are wanting to do. My curiosity is such that I think I will do some research, meanwhile keep at it.

DVD works better on Linux than on windows

I use DVD on Linux and it works perfectly.

Read the question first.

He doesn't want to use a DVD on Linux, he wants to make a Live CD that others can boot from. It makes sense to do that in Linux, I'd say.

But somehow I don't think you've done that and made a perfectly bootable one from the Linux sources. If you did, please help the OP and tell how exactly you did it.
