DownloadThis Linux Live CD provides a Quick Way to Save Files from the Hard Drives to an External Drive for Safety and Rescue Purposes. This GUI System gets started in less than 28 seconds and is able to auto mount all drives including external ones, but excluding encrypted drives, for user access.
On Startup, this system provides a dual pane file manager for copying files and folders between the panels, by way of a simple drag and drop facility.
Following are the limitations of this system :
1. It does not support ENCRYPTED DRIVES at the moment. Do not use it.
2. If the external drive has a ownership aware filesystem, like for eg. ext2/3/4, then the copy happens as ROOT without any interruption. You may change it later using sudo privileges and the chown -R command.
Note: To Shutdown the System properly, Click Exit Button on the Bottom of Desktop and Click OK to popup dialog.
it is SAFE to REMOVE external drives, AFTER SHUTTING down the system.
Check Screenshots. See Wiki.
Features
- After connecting the required external usb drives, users can bypass the boot menu, by pressing the ENTER KEY. It is recommended to read the boot menu instructions fully, atleast the first time.
- This GUI System has a Pocket Friendly Size of 50 MB only and is based on Tiny Core Linux 32-bit for wider compatibility across different hardware systems
- Burn iso files on to cd ( as an image ) using free programs like imgburn (windows), brasero (linux), burn (macosx) etc. and change bios boot order to boot from the live cd. Search and check youtube videos, if you are new to this concept
- You can change the bios boot order temporarily by pressing the F12 key or option or equivalent key on your system or else you can enter bios setup by pressing the F2 key, change boot order priority, to boot from cd first and later on revert it
- Watch Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i16HtZnQvw and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvnLRpAJ1_U and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU0b48XpNsU to boot from CD / DVD / Pen Drive on any desktop or a laptop computer
- The below video is a simulation of the Live CD on a virtualbox. For maximum benefit, you have to use it on a real machine, through the CD drive or the USB interface
- If you have a UEFI PC, then you may need to enable Legacy CSM Boot Mode, for this GUI System to start properly. For this, watch youtube videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Ml1IbVp-8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU0b48XpNsU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM9UyNcSEU0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAjbdK4H4Xs to see some variations of UEFI settings required, depending on the computer model.
- If you have a DVD Drive, then writing this iso file to a DVD Disc ( instead of a CD Disc ) will result in even faster system startup times
- Please use MULTIBOOTUSB-LIVE available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/multibootusb-live/ for installing this iso file on to a pen drive
