Swimfin131 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 hey guys i am kinda a noob hacker (not old enough to get a lot of experience) I want to make a linux live CD but i'm not really sure how... Also will it run on my MacBook? I've tryed googling it and havent found much. i even tryed that iBuild thing but the download link was a dead link. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Sparda Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 What kind of Mac book is it? Is it a mac book as in Intel or IBM? Also, making a Linux distrabution is prety difficult, I surgestyou use an exsisting distrabution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimfin131 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 i have a intel macbook non pro also i didnt mean to design a whole distro just how to put it on the disk and use it. Also could you please suggest a good beginners distro? I downloaded knoppix, but im not sure what to do with all of the files that are in the folder i got it from ummm *cough cough* torrent *cough cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I don't know if Knoppix runs on the Intel Mac books but I know there are distrobutions that can. Ubuntu can, as for a 'learners' distrabution, Ubuntu is easy to install, as is openSuSE (formaly SuSE). As for burning a Linux distro to disk, check out this episode of Linux Reality.

moonlit Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice work Sparda :p ummm *cough cough* torrent *cough cough* Sigh... Most Linux distros are free anyways so using torrent to obtain them doesn't make you shady... Anyways, good luck and welcome to the forums ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 If you are using windows XP you can use a program called ISO Recorder. Other wise you will have to use some thing like Nero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimfin131 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 i'm using mac OS X 10.4 culd someone suggest a program? I dont think that nero is mac compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyedie Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Insted of making your own distro, why not find a distro that is easily modified... not one comes to mind right of the bat but i know there are ALOT that you can add/remove your own tools from and change basic things... that may satisfy your needs. I don't know if Knoppix runs on the Intel Mac books but I know there are distrobutions that can. Ubuntu can, as for a 'learners' distrabution, Ubuntu is easy to install, as is openSuSE (formaly SuSE). As for burning a Linux distro to disk, check out this episode of Linux Reality. definitely... after sparta said the first thing about linux reality i downloaded and episode, since then ive downloaded all the episodes to a disk and have been listing to them in my truck for 3 days now... anyone intrested in linux should listen, its runs a little slow, but its awesome.

Sparda Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I don't own a mac IBM or other wise. Melodic is the mac fan boy (who didn't relise the safraie logo is a compas untill I pointed it out), he probably knows how to burn a ISO in MAC OS. I know other distrobutions of BSD (FreeBSD and the like) have ISO burning tools, but I don't know about mac os. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
