Smallest Lightweight LINUX DEBIAN LIVE ?

patrick295767 · 07-16-2016, 05:28 AM

Hello,

I would like to ask you which is smallest Lightweight LINUX DEBIAN LIVE (ideally with a 4.5 kernel) with X11.

My custom live is called Debianix with 4.5.5, fluxbox, x11, (even skype), and it is about 550 Mb into total. It has EFI as well to boot on almost anything.
Anyhow I would be pleased if there were more on the current debian official :

https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-live/
there is one of 391M

Some more live could maybe be useful.

Best regards

Unless something has changed since the last time I heard, they have abandoned the Debian Live project.

1) Why?
2) For what purpose?
3) Pure Debian or including Debian derivatives?

Damn Small Linux?
Galpon Minino?

If you're burning.iso buy a 100 disk spindle and fill them up, be sure to recycle.

iso can be copied with zcat/dd on pendrive which is so much easier than 15 y. ago

Umm... https://www.debian.org/CD/live/

Looks fairly well maintained to me.

Just a suggestion, for distro hopping on metal can't be beat IMO...

I'd want 2 or more pendrives then maybe even multibooting on them. I have 1 for rescue and still use DVDs for checking out new stuff, occasionally Linux magazines from my local shop—great-spins( by professionals.) E.g:

principally a linux based on debian can be made minimalist live on min. 15-30 mb, it is surely possible.

You could try spins from the bbq.
