ok 64 mb nopix on a flash card or usb stick is good enough. but I need to do the following.
U mis understood. There is no 64 mb knoppix. But u could customize knoppix easily.
- customise the distro to lonch my custom menu driven application
instead of standard bash.
does your app require X or is it CLI?. If X then what wm? suggest FVWM or XFCE.
- put my own kernel instead of the one coming with it.
I don't want heavy modules and other softwares that may be coming with nopix.
U get rid of unwanted modules by simply recompiling the kernel.
and thirdly, I need to put speach synthesizer like festival. the card is 512 mb so no problem on that. will I be able to do all this with that nopix 64 mb distro? and I came across a bootloader called extlinux may be that will help me some how.
Not needed actually. If this is a regular thing u can keep one usb for creating grub bootable usb as follows: plugin bootable usb. Switch on machine when the led on usb starts flickiring plug in new usb (which u have preformatted to the same fs as the first usb and copied /boot/grub). when the grub menu shows up type c. At the grub prompt root (fd1) setup (fd1).
