dyne:bolic is a LiveCD GNU/Linux distribution with a focus on multimedia production, and is distributed with a large assortment of applications for audio & video manipulation. Unlike many Linux distributions, dyne:bolic is based entirely on free software, and is a true GNU distribution.
sorry, 'docking' in dyne:bolic is copying over the dyne folder from the cd in order to allow the OS to run from the hd instead of the cd thus improving performance
I know that my thinkpad and dyne:bolic aren't a match made in heaven, but there is no reason I can see why I shouldn't be able to dock and run the system on my thinkpad
hello, I am new to linux so it could be me, but I am having similar problems with a "run off the CD" linux very similar to (possibly based on) dyne:bolic called pure:dyne. I can run it off the CD fine but when I try to either use a "nest" (a small file on a hd/removable media that remembers your settings) or "dock it" (run the CD first and then it detects the files on my usb stick and asks if I wanna boot from there instead which'll improve performance). I don't know if the two systems are comparable but it doesn't work on my shuttle desktop pc or my dell lappy (same error), though it boots fine if I leave docking or nesting out of it. Sorry I can't help solve it though! Will post again if I find a solution which works for me.
