So it looks like all Chris Hawks would have to do is install
"Remastersys" on his RPi already set up to boot up as a virtual CoCo and
make a live CD...
=========================================

Okay, I sent this before reading Chris' message that he doesn't have his setup the way I thought, he's just using the "Raspian" Linux distro then has to start the emulator as in any normal Linux distro. Still it's a start! So what is needed is someone to setup something like Puppy Linux on a machine (or virtual box), maybe strip it down some. There's no need for a GUI, but would be nice to have a menu for a few needed disk utilities, something similar to the recovery mode screen on Ubuntu with the necessary entries. I have no idea what Linux utilities (or utils that need to run outside the emulator) would be needed... suggestions? Then it would be simple enough to write a menu script (well, for some... not for me!). Maybe have the machine boot into the menu with one of the selections being to run the emulator? Or better to run the emulator from start-up, then go to the menu screen when quitting the emulator and have a shut down selection so the computer comes up ready to CoCo?
