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