What distribution are you familiar using?

My project is a Slackware derivative:

I haven't used NFSd (as of now, but I plan to in the near future.) My project doesn't include nfsd by default, but it can be added. Unfortunately, my project is not especially user friendly. If you are looking for an easy to use live cd, then perhaps you should look elsewhere. But if you know what you're doing, then perhaps this project could be quickly customized to meet your needs.

Steps to add nfsd.

0. Download iso of my project and burn iso. 1. Boot live CD. 2. Start networking and get ip address. 3. Install nfsd package.

# # SOURCE=somehost.somewhere # REPOS=slackware-slackware-10.2 # PACKAGE=slackware-n-nfs-utils-1.0.7-i486-1.tgz # scp ${SOURCE}:${REPOS}-${PACKAGE} . # installpkg nfs-utils-1.0.7-i486-1.tgz

4. Configure nfsd and start daemon.

BTW, If using some "real" RW device (say, usb flash), then changes will be saved and the above step will only be required once.

I probably should update this project soon, and remember to include nfs. I have been distracted using the live DVD which includes a full Slack install, plus open office and gnome:
