[Coco] CoCo Linux Live CD

[Alan Jones]

Gang,

I've been doing a lot of reading today and trying to figure out what distro
would be the easiest to use.
It looks to me like Ubuntu will work well with Remastersys if we decide to
use it.
Debian will work too but you have to make sure that certain modules are not
in the kernel.
The only thing I don't like about Ubuntu is the Unity desktop, lol.
This is only my observation and nothing is engraved in concrete for our
project. :)

I think we should call this the "CoCo Linux Live CD/USB Project"

Here is the list of volunteers we have so far:

Alan Jones - Team Lead
Camillus Blockx - TBA
Keith Clark - server space
Marc Charbonneau - server space, distro builder
Harry Hurst - TBA

Keith and Marc, please contact each other and discuss what web site is
available to host our project
Camillus and Harry - be more specific on what you want to help with, if you
need more time to decide that is ok.

*** If you would like to help in this community project please let us know!

Alan Jones

that boots in MESS set up as a CoCo on a Raspberry Pi. I forget what distro
he's using, but using that and creating a live CD from it will probably put
this project right where it needs to be.
I think the best base would be Mint or Ubuntu to get the best hardware
compatibility. Modifying the live iso is pretty easy, you just mount it then
chroot in it. I've done that a couple years ago with knoppix.

I have 14 years experience using Linux, my work laptop is Linux and my job
is building Linux kiosk so I think I can help with that project.

Let me know how I can help.

And I can host the iso on a server hosted at iWeb.

I really like the idea of having a full featured coco on a bootable USB key.
