A Lightweight Linux distro such as DeliLinux?
Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 8:23 pm
How easy would it be to replace the Basic Linux and tomsrtbt Linux boots in UBCD411 with DeLi Linux ??
Its main website is http://www.delilinux.org/ and a DeLi 0.8 core ISO - console is 60 MB.
That's larger than Damn Small Linux, but just about the size of the alternate Puppy Linux, so DeLi with the UBCD could all fit into a 200MB 80mm miniCD.
DeLi forum is at http://www.delilinux.org/forum/ and DeLi would seem decent for PC's of lower hardware specs that originally had Windows 9x installed.
Victor Chew and Icecube give some suggestions for integrating Damn Small Linux into the UBCD that could similarly apply for DeLi :
'HOWTO: Integrate DSL (Damn Small Linux) with the UBCD V4', viewtopic.php?t=880
Note that the top-level structure of the latest DeLi .iso is something like
I'd guess that the sbootmgr subdirectory, the isolinux/isolinux.bin file, the isolinux/isolinux.boot file, the Changelog file and INSTALL could all be safely deleted similar to the suggestions in the referred post for getting DSL to boot within the UBCD.
The /pkg directory would have to be kept intact just like for the KNOPPIX subdirectory in DSL.
Not certain what exact changes are needed in DeLi's isolinux/isolinux.cfg file.
Any good suggestions here??
