A look at Morphing-Morphix: The Hack-friendly Live CD
Blog Entry on the Friday 04th, November, 2005
The purpose of 'Morphing-Morphix' is to provide the quick way to start 'Morphing' and making your own LiveCD. Just boot the CD and start Morphing, no need to install tools, compile applications or switch operating systems. All is required is some space on a connected hard drive.
The following Morphs can be completed from the LiveCD.
* My First Morph - change the background
* Morphing the Boot Menu
* Morphing the Boot-up Process
* Morphing the Home Directory
* Auto-Launching Firefox
* Morphing a MainModule
* Auto-Building using mmaker
* Testing an iso using Qemu
An screenshot of Morphing-Morphix. An iso was built and is being tested using qemu. (A LiveCD running inside a LiveCD!)
All menu-driven, after you have used the interactive How To a script is available containing all the command used in the morphing session. In fact you can use this script to reproduce the exactly the same results.
Pre-releases available, current at version 0-1_pre4.
Hopefully a full release in the next few days, after beta-testing. Feedback welcome.
