Customize your own ZMliveCD

Will (you) anyone be putting out a 2008 Mandriva based ZMLiveCD any time soon?

2008 finds the sata controllers in my hardware very nicely - 2007 can't find it without extra work.

Thanks!

Could anyone point me into the right direction, to enable ssl for ZM on the MDV 2007.0 system I installed from Live CD? Ssl is installed and works, Webmin is by default running with https on port 10000. I'd like to have https for ZM too.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I believe it is a matter of installing apache-mod_ssl and it's requires (use urpmi) and restarting httpd.

ZM 2007 livecd was made based on MCNlivecd.
http://www.mcnlive.org/index.html
I undestand that 2008 MCNlivecd does not exist because the autor abandoned the proyect.
I wish it where available too because also have problems with sata and 2007.
You mentioned "extra work". Could you explain what is needed to solve the sata problem in 2007?

>>Reason number 2.
Goal is to boot to CD and have ZM start its monitoring (with no user interaction).

BEFORE I burn the ISO:
Is there a file I can edit in the ISO to tell it where to look for my cfg file?
Exactly what file & line do I need to edit?
What should line read if say cfg file will be at "C:\ZMBoot.cfgâ€

I am not sure about the LiveCD but I have used unetbootin to insall the LiveCD image to a jump drive. I plug the jump drive into a machine, boot it up, setup the cameras, and other things common to that location, then I do a restart or shutdown. As the shutdown is finalizing, it will give me 3 options, one is to save the changes, 2 merge the overlays, and 3 disregard. I save the changes, on the next boot the thumb drive will have the changes. I have added software to that on the original just by downloading it and making sure to save at the reboot or shutdown. Case in point, I set my machines up with two ethernet ports, my thumbdrive is now set up for that, with dnsmasq added.

When I commit the whole thing to a hard drive, the boot on the hard drive will have the original livecd install plus my addons, works great.

Oh yes I am using the ZMLArch LiveCD as my source. Not sure about the older ones, I do not recall seeing this on the ones I worked with.

By way, doing this for each install allows you to leave a thumb drive with the machine configuration on the machine somewhere, so if there is a major failure, just plug the thumb drive in and reload the whole thing.
