[edit] FAQ
Q Which user and password should i use to log in?
A User:ominiverdi Password:ominiverdi
Q How can i become root?
A No root user, just type sudo su in a terminal and insert ominiverdi as password
Q How can i start the livecd?
A To start the livecd you must put it in your pc and reboot it. As soon as the machine starts, it will recognize the cd and use it like an hard disk, loading the linux system.If it still loads the standard OS of your machine, please check your bios or boot menu to set cd-rom as first booting device.
Q Can i save data while working in the livecd?
A Nope. When you shutdown the livecd session, all changes are lost; this is good cause let you work on any machine without change any data inside it.If you wanna save data, you should use a USB storage device.
Q There are any special requirement ?
A You need at least 512 Mb of RAM.
[edit] Bugfixes
- Better video card detection.
- Now you can read/write the partition of the machine used to run the livecd ( currently just linux partitions).
- The demo database called "livecd", is now is owned by user ominiverdi ( so you can use psql to access it :D ).
- Add NAD fix to Proj ( Thanks Markus)
- Minor fixes..
