What are your suggestions for a LiveCD?


I need a LiveCD with adobe flash support for my girlfriend to use.
A few job sites require "firefox + flash" to work.
Which have and which work the best?

Any live CD will do the trick.
For speed, go for puppy, DSL or tiny core

Umm, actually I'm not sure DSl has flash installed and Tinycore you will need to add flash, then burn to CD.
You can make a Tinycore LiveCD with flash and whatever...

If you need a USB Tinycore with Flash pre-installed and different flavors try my schtick
here-

I recomment slax. It's a live linux system based on
slackware that can be installed either on a CD or a USB thumb drive.

I use slax on a usb thumb drive and it's easy to add/remove
software (it's just a matter of placing a package in a certain
folder). You can save your configs so the next time you
boot you don't have to go over reconfiguring.

It doesn't come with firefox, but it's not difficult to
add it afterward as a module (check out the modules page on the
slax site)

The iso file is about 200MB

slax graphical environment is kde

I have a Grub Tinycore-1.4.3.iso (50MB) with Flash pre-installed along with OSS and alsa.
Fits on a 50MB mini-cd

i dont think its legal for any os (linux or windows -- maybe mac) to have flash pre-installed unless they pay a royalty to adobe.

i recomend fedora live-usb so you can install what you want and save it across reboots.

Adobe's got enough money, they'll live.
Plus, it's "share the wealth time"
