Re: [G4l-general] Using G4L as a Live CD to install my own software

[Philip A. <ph...@ay...>]

Andy,

This should be possible. A few years ago I poked around with
customizing 4GL so it would not ask any questions and just install an
image from a file server when it booted. After spending a few hours on
it I did not get it working, and since I was not the one doing the
actual work, I lost interest. But it seemed that it should have
worked. I was just doing something wrong. Adding the image to the disk
should not be a problem, either.

If I were doing it now, I would experiment with a USB hard drive. That
way you don't have to burn a disk every time you want to try it. The
boot process is different, though, but you could test the scripts.

If you succeed, a how-to would really be appreciated!

Phil.
