<span class="gmail_quote"><br></span>Dear Wouter, <br><br>About LiveCD with GRASS, I suggest to prove the POSEIDON linux distribution. This is Knoppix modified which contain a lot of software for GIS as GRASS, QGIS, SPRING, and other more.
<br>To get this distribution you must go to

</a><br><br>I used this distrubution to show in my institution that linux ang GRASS are an alternative to other Arc-nnn software.

<br>next one is in a few weeks. The problem is, I have only windows machines<br>available, and I have had bad experiences with badly installed CYGWIN and<br>GRASS versions in the past. (I have to leave it to the sysadmins).
<br><br>I have proposed to use linux liveCD's but I am not allowed to use them due<br>to security reasons (access to the HD and network).<br><br>Theoretically it does not seem to be too difficult to disable those<br>
functions on a liveCD. Although I am an experienced linux user, I have no
<br>experience with liveCD's. So before I spend a lot of time trying, I would<br>like the opinion of the mailing list.<br>Specifically:<br><br>- anyone with experience making linux live CD's including grass?<br><br>
- if so, which distribution to start with (knoppix seems a logical choice<br>and has a good customisation manual)<br><br>- any hidden snakes under the grass that anyone knows of?<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Wouter<br><br>_______________________________________________
