Launch Control LINUXUSER KTools: Klik even install different versions of the same program. The basic Linux system is untouched. And you can dock applica- tions stored on USB sticks to make them available to a live distribution. Kernel Matters Klik does require some preparatory work: Suse Linux 10 (including Open Suse) and Debian-based systems come with the prerequisites (see the “Sup- ported Distributions” box), and let’s not forget Knoppix and its derivatives, which triggered the development of Klik. This history also explains why the system was available for the KDE desktop only at first. Thanks to numerous contribu- tors, Klik now also runs on Gnome. If your Linux system is not directly sup- ported, your kernel must at least support the Cramfs filesystem. The kernel sources typically have this support in the form of a module, but you can build in static support. The same applies to the loop device for mounting the image files. Software distribution with Klik The Client After fulfilling any prerequisites, you can type the following at the command line: wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O - | sh. This downloads an installation script LAUNCH from the Klik homepage, and the script installs the Klik client. On multi-user systems, this step has to be performed for every user who will be running Klik, CONTROL as there is no global install at present.

  • How to Create a Custom Live CD for Secure Remote Incident Handling in the Enterprise
    How to Create a Custom Live CD for Secure Remote Incident Handling in the Enterprise Abstract This paper will document a process to create a custom Live CD for secure remote incident handling on Windows and Linux systems. The process will include how to configure SSH for remote access to the Live CD even when running behind a NAT device. The combination of customization and secure remote access will make this process valuable to incident handlers working in enterprise environments with limited remote IT support.

  • Experience with a Livecd in an Education Process
    EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVECD IN AN EDUCATION PROCESS Experience with a LiveCD in an education process Jan R˚uˇziˇcka, FrantiˇsekKl´ımek Institute of Geoinformatics Faculty of Mining and Geology, VSB-TUO E-mail: [email protected] Key words: LiveCD, GIS´akLiveCD, Distance Learning, E-learning Abstract The paper describes how can be LiveCD (Bootable CD) used for geoinformatics distance learn- ing. We have prepared one LiveCD with basic software for learning geoinformatics and we have some feedback from users and teachers. The paper should evaluate this feedback. LiveCD is a CD-ROM, that can be used as a bootable device. After booting from the CD, the user can access all resources compiled to the CD. There are operating system (usually based on GNU/Linux) and (user, desktop) software installed and configured to be used directly after boot. Our CD named GIS´akLiveCD contains basic GIS software such as UMN MapServer, GRASS, Quantum GIS, Thuban, JUMP, GPS Drive, Blender and we work on other soft- ware packages such as MapLab for UMN MapServer, PostGIS, GeoNetwork Open Source, CatMDEdit, gvSIG, uDIG. GIS´akLiveCD contains set of spatial data from the Czech Re- public. Main part of the CD are tutorials for GIS software. CD is open for other e-learning materials. Now we have about 20 students using our LiveCD and few other users that are not curently our students. The paper should show Pros & Cons of the LiveCD usage for a distance learning. LiveCD Live CD is bootable CD-ROM with operating system and installed and configured programs. It is ready to use as full installed system directly after boot from CD-ROM drive.

Linus was born into the Swedish minority of Finland (about 5% of the five million Finns). He was a “math guy” throughout his schooling. Early on, he “inherited” a Commodore VIC- 20 (released in June 1980) from his grandfather; in 1987 he spent his savings on a Sinclair QL (released in January 1984, the “Quantum Leap,” with a Motorola 68008 running at 7.5 MHz and 128 kB of RAM, was intended for small businesses and the serious hobbyist). It ran Q-DOS, and it was what got Linus involved: One of the things I hated about the QL was that it had a read-only operating system. You couldn’t change things ... I bought a new assembler ... and an editor.... Both ... worked fine, but they were on the microdrives and couldn’t be put on the EEPROM. So I wrote my own editor and assembler and used them for all my programming. Both were written in assembly language, which is incredibly stupid by today’s standards.
