- MandrakeMove README
-
-
- General overview.
-
-Mandrake Move is a "live" Mandrake Linux Discovery based system,
-an OS which boots off a removable device (a CDROM in our case)
-without needing any installation on hard drive (it doesn't need
-any harddrive in computer actually).
-
-Mandrake Move brings two main innovations:
-
-- ability to eject the CDROM which Move was booted from, still
- running a multimedia player, so that user can play
- ogg/mp3/vcd/avi/dvd discs without needing a second CDROM drive
-
-- transparently saving user and system data to a USB key
-
-
- Technical aspects.
-
- CDROM ejecting.
-
-Works by killing most unneeded running application (open-office,
-frozen-bubble, gimp, etc), then transfering X/kde/totem files
-(already pertaining to a loopback) into memory, then CDROM drive
-is not busy anymore.
-
- Paths of boot.
-
-MandrakeMove should work in three different paths of boot:
-
-- mode 1: no USB key
-
- automatic X configuration, DrakX starts up, asks for language,
- license, asks for a key (we answer we have no key), possibly
- for mouse and keyboard, username/password, auto-detects sound,
- printer and network devices, starts up KDE
-
- this is a normal live mode, nothing particular
-
-- mode 2: USB key but doesn't yet contain MandrakeMove files
-
- automatic X configuration, DrakX starts up, asks for language,
- license, set up configuration files on the key, possibly asks
- for mouse and keyboard, username/password, starts up KDE
-
- once KDE is booted, we are in full Move move, in which user
- data and system configuration data are saved on the usb key
-
- the USB key is mounted on /home, and some symlinks are created
- from a selection of /etc system files to a per-host directory
- on the USB key (based in /home/.sysconf)
-
- a daemon is monitoring modifications made to /etc, and
- transparently copy modified/new files to the USB key; hence
- Mandrake Move is much extensible, any modification on /etc will
- be saved
-
-- mode 3: USB key, contains MandrakeMove files
-
- - 3.1: we are running on the same machine
-
- DrakX GUI not even shows up as we use existing configuration
- files, we set up stuff of the usb key (/home etc) and we start
- up KDE
-
- - 3.2: we are running on another machine
-
- We use language, username/password, and homedir from USB key,
- but other system configuration need to be re-asked:
-
- automatic X configuration, DrakX starts up, possibly asks for
- mouse and keyboard, starts up KDE
-

-<p align="justify">Some users have encountered problems
-installing or using MandrakeMove due to specific configuration
-situations that we did not have an opportunity to fully test.
-Please use the patches or recommendations included below for each
-scenario if it applies to you.</p>
-
-<p align="justify"><b>Note on using Patches:</b> To use any of
-the <i>patch.pl</i> patches that are noted below, you must copy the
-appropriate patch onto a floppy disk, with the name patch.pl.
-Then you can boot off of your CD-ROM with the "linux patch"
-command at the boot prompt (obtained by pressing F1 at the splash
-screen), and making sure that the floppy containing the patch is
-in the floppy disk drive.</p>

-
-<i>Error scenario:</i> <b>no program seem to see my webcam, whereas on
-regular Mandrake 9.2 it works perfectly (may apply to other USB
-devices as well).</b>
-
-<br><i>Why:</i> "hotplug" automatic loading of drivers is disabled due to a
-bug on our side.
-
-<br><i>Solution:</i> add the following to the last line of
-/etc/rc.d/rc.local :
-<pre>
-sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/hotplug
-</pre>
-and be sure to plug your webcam after boot and KDE startup is
-finished, not before booting.
-
-<br><i>Solution for download version:</i> run the following
-command in a console at the end of KDE startup, and then plug in
-your webcam:
-<pre>
-sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/hotplug
-</pre>
