It woudl'nt be the same system as the iso at all. |
| 11 |
I wanted exactly the same, but on a usb key. |

I didn't need anything, just launch /dev/ram0. udevstart doesn't create |
| 22 |
any /dev/sd* for me. |

now, it is, because of my "mknod". |

All is fine now, but I wanted to show that it is not so simple as said... |
| 35 |

I put the img there : |

It's for a 64Mb key. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I'll try now to understand how I can use catalyst to personnalize it. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Something great would be to have exactly the template for the original iso. |
| 44 |
I tried to do one, but my iso is 116Mb, not 50. I don't understand why. |
