hello,
I am done a comparison between the important methods of creating live CD;
To compare these methods, I decide on theses criterions:
Compression: rate of compression when we creat .iso.
Personnalisation : difficulty of personnalisation of distribution
Creation: difficulty and rapidity of creation of live distribution.
Facility and method of boot: how to boot with live CD and difficulty of boot.
Installation of live distribution: difficulty of installation of live distribution
features : possibility of adding tools to live distribution
Theses index are:
+ + + : excellent
+ + : good
+ : acceptable
- : bad
-- : very bad
0 : not prevue
I am excuse for bad representation of table
I’am attending all comments to ameliorate this comparison
