M.Curie-Skłodowskiej 1, 20-031 Lublin, Poland 2Institute of Physics, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Pl. M.Curie-Skłodowskiej 1, 20-031 Lublin, Poland Abstract We present an introduction to LiveCD system remastering based on a prospective UnionFS filesystem. 1. Introduction Regarding increasing popularity of the LiveCD distributions1 of a Linux system we compile the essential knowledge of how the LiveCD works (based on many rather scattered documents [1-8]) to facilitate preparation of the specialized distributions of systems based on this idea. We describe one of the most efficient ways of system architecture managing using UnionFS. All steps of the procedure were tested using laptops which have often more exotic hardware than desktopUMCS computers. The possibility of booting a PC from a CD/DVD ROM has raised several possibilities, including the most important one, namely, the possibility of running the required system or programs independently of the actual operational system, configuration, and resources of the PC. The self-configuring CD/DVD ROMs can be also useful for administrative purposes and as the rescue disks. The LiveCD distributions allow for cheap and effective use of the PCs as the special servers, routers and other active elements over the network. This idea of the LiveCD systems is based on the possibility opened by the El Torito extension to the standard ISO 9660 system and the Linux kernel capabilities.

    Thin Client Glossary A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z AS400 is the common way most people write AS/400 on the Internet. In keeping with this practice we have decided to use AS400 as the standard spelling in this glossary. A AS400 thin client An AS400 thin client is a thin client device which can access AS/400 / iSeries / System i data. AS/400 thin client The correct spelling of AS400 thin client. B Blade PC A blade PC, also called a PC blade, is a computer that is entirely contained in a thin, modular circuit card placed in a centralized, secure location such as a server rack. A cable connects the card to the user's display, keyboard and mouse...A blade PC, in contrast to a thin client, is a complete computer that includes all the components normally found in a desktop PC including the microprocessor, memory chips, hard drive, video card and network card. Boot image Boot image is a computer file containing the complete contents and structure of a computer storage media. When it is transferred on a boot device it allows the associated hardware to boot. This usually includes the operating system, utilities and diagnostics, as well as boot and data recovery information. In a thin client the word "thin" refers to the small boot image which such clients typically require to connect to a network and start up a dedicated web browser or Remote Desktop connection.

  • Ultraiso Help
    UltraISO Overview Along with large capacity hard disk popularity, people were already used to coping compact discs to CD/DVD image files (also called compact disc image document) , generally used is the famous ISO 9660 international standards format, therefore CD/DVD image files are called ISO files. Because the ISO file retained complete data information of the compact disc (including compact disc boot information), you were allowed the convince to use commonly used CD burning software (for example Nero-Burning ROM ) to record the disc with your CD-R/RW over and over forever, it can also be used directly through Virtual CD-ROM drive software (for example SoftDisc ) . UltraISO is a CD/DVD image file creating/editing/converting tool , it can directly edit the CD/DVD image file and extract files and folders from it, as well as directly make ISO files from your CD/DVD drive or hard disk. At the same time, you can maintain the ISO bootable information, thus creating your own bootable CDs and DVDs. You now have the power to make and edit your own ISO files, and then burn them to CD or DVD for your own needs. UltraISO is in sole possession of the intellectualized ISO document format analyzer, it can process at the present time almost all types of image files, including ISO and BIN, it may even support new image files which are yet to be created. UltraISO can open these image files, directly extract files and folders, edit it and convert other image files to the standard ISO format.
