Re: [school-discuss] Live Linux Distro

[Peter Scheie <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,
Congratulations on your project.  One option you may want to add to your distro 
is to make it run from a USB flash drive.  The performance is usually much 
better than running from a DVD.  (DVDs are still cheaper to hand out to people, 
however, so don't abandon that.)  Unetbootin can be used to install almost any 
live distro to a USB flash drive.
