small linux distribution

like cdlinux, slitaz, damnsmalllinux, tinycore, finnix ... are all compact linux distribution

recently stick to cdlinux, slitaz, finnix

these 3 work with my rt2500usb wifi usb adapter

cdlinux 0.6 is highly fast on my old computer, while 0.9 is a bit slower but come with latest xfce 4.6.1 and firefox 3.5.5

extracted cd linux on my C: , /cdl06 , /cdl09 respectively

ntldr , grldr , menu.lst , using the CDL_DIR= to change the path that the kernel intents to read the compressed loop image

title CDlinux 0.6
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot_cdl06/CDlinux/autoboot/bzImage quiet CDL_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 CDL_DIR=boot_cdl06/CDlinux CDL_LOOP=yes
initrd /boot_cdl06/CDlinux/autoboot/CDlinux

title CDlinux 0.9
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot_cdl09/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 CDL_DIR=boot_cdl09/CDlinux CDL_LOOP=yes
initrd /boot_cdl09/CDlinux/initrd

qemu.exe -L . -m 32 -cdrom slitaz-cooking.iso

finnix somes with ssh, enable it in the boot options:

kernel /path/linx ... sshd sshd_password=1234

initrd ...
