I've thought about doing this on one of those 80mm or wallet-sized CDs. The primary problem has always come back to chosing how to deal with paths. I've never really launched into the project, but I recall being concered if I could get everything working with relative paths, since the root drive assignment would/could be different (well, for win32 environments at least).

What's wrong with a very small unix installation on said CD, (bootable of course), with everything else on it that you want? There are distributions that are small enough to fit on a floppy for that matter. The problem ends up being things like swap, and temp files - since you can't write back to the CD. However, there's also tmpfs, which resides in memory. Hmmm, this is interesting... -- H| I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
