Great article!
There was one dd command example that intrigued me :
dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/files/cd_disk.iso
AFAIK, since dd doesn’t deal with filesystems, it will look for the device that’s mounted at /mnt/cdrom, and copy the content of the device. If that’s the case, i think one doesn’t need (or even should for rw fs) mount the filesystem, since the device path can be given instead.

I really have been looking for
an extensive list of
“true” live distros
some months up to now…

Have you cheked the nimblex
69, sub100 an full distros?

I am quite sure they are based
on slax.

All of them fit on a mini CD-R
and are profoundly KDE rooted.

Bad thing is that
they are not very nice
to “out of the mill vanilla”
hardware, like amd chipsets
or amd integrated gpus.

Security on them are not ready to
“default set and run”
without having to read some manual.

This is basic to first users.

I have read it. Good article, but I already knew things about the mount command. Not a long ago I was searching for a distribution which would be a ready to go server, so I could boot from cd and the network would have all the services like dhcp, nat, firewall, samba, email, ftp, http. I have found SLAMPP Live CD!, but have not tried it. It looks like I could use SLAX for this, configure it, add modules I need, configure and burn it.
