What do you think of my Pizza selection?
The main thing I want to be able to do is run Bitcoin, either the binary, or to compile it from source. I'm presuming that compiling it would take a lot of disk space so I'm presuming no to that. I couldn't get it to run on another live distro but I didn't make a note of how it was compiled, what library is needed.
Other than that, these are the common things I use a liveCD for: Browsing securely and rescuing systems. To that end this is the list of packages I'm thinking of using.
Base/Basic:
linux kernel 3.0 possible?
some more wifi drivers, ndiswrapper & firmwares?
btmgr
Extra libaries?
For online:
firefox (I guess if I start with the firefox base this is not needed)
mupdf
mtpaint
rtorrent
wget
For online and backing up:
lib for binary of bitcoin manually added to the iso (for use when the host OS can't be trusted and offline backups... don't know what the lib is though!)
compile tools to compile things like bitcoin (make, gcc?) - is this too ambitious?
unrar, unzip
clamav -but how to get latest update without connecting to network?
fuse
knock
For rescue:
ophcrack
parted & gparted
httpd or similar
nano
screen
Just because it doesn't take much space up:
get-foxit-reader
get-flash-plugin
get-google-talkplugin
get-jre
get-dropbox
get-skype
get-sjphone
I'm tight on bandwidth but I can assemble the iso at my VPS. I'm hoping I can keep it under 150mb. 50mb would be even better as that would fit on a credit card size CD.
Alternatively... how much is everything on DVD?
