I am looking for a LiveCD with all of the needed codec (DVD, quicktime, windows). I was useing Linux mint but is to graphical I prefer the original GNOME or KDE menue. Any idea's of other posable live cd's with those codecs?
The more modules the more memory needed. I have tride Slax and it's my least favrit. It's also based on Slax and I prefer Debain or Red Hat based Distrose because of the RPM and DEB packages.
Well, modules only directly translate to memory if you are loading the entire CD into memory so that you can eject. If that is a capability you need, then I would definitely recommend DSL or Puppy Linux, as their very small size will keep you from eating up RAM. You might look at Puppy Linux if you need something small. They are quite gentle on the memory, and as I recall they have an extension system. I think they call the packages DotPup's. Anyhow, there's probably an unofficial one of those with codecs.
