kodibuntu iso-scan/filename - dickfitzwell - 2015-09-11 Traditional Lubuntu offers the “iso-scan/filename” boot code to allow booting the iso directly rather than having to extract the .disk/casper directories. The benefit of this scenario is when coupled with the “persistent” boot code the iso can also be located on the same partition as the persistent file/partition. Currently the extracted .disk/casper directories have to be on a separate partiton from the persistent file/partition. Secondly, when coupled with the “toram” boot code, only the iso filesystem is loaded to memory. Currently “toram” with extracted .disk/casper directories tries to load the whole partiton to memory. The goal is to offer an isolated “portable” or a more organzied mutli-boot setup. Thank you, RE: kodibuntu iso-scan/filename - wsnipex - 2015-09-11 I don't see how this would be more organized then doing an install (to an USB stick if preferred) RE: kodibuntu iso-scan/filename - dickfitzwell - 2015-09-11 The iso is less than one gig, I've never done a full install but I'm sure it takes up much more space. Secondly, I'm guessing booting the iso "toram" with only the /home directory persistant would run much faster than USB install? RE: kodibuntu iso-scan/filename - wsnipex - 2015-09-12 I doubt that it'd be faster, given that it always has to unsquash the filesystem. In any case, this is a rare edge use case and I doubt any dev currently has the time or interest in adding this. PR welcome though |
