ZEUS LiveRAM: Release
Stable Releases of https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:zeussuse:iso/livecd-zeus
a wayland gtk3 mini desktop and manual net-installer livecd;
man-pages left intact. RAMdisk by default. TW. en_US.
2 flavors: xz compressed image with efi/bios bootloader for older hardware.
zstd compression and uefi bootloader for secure-boot machines.
#####Desktop:
labwc + sfwbar with default config makes a nice wayland generic desktop!
wlroots renderer defaults to vulkan with supported hardware.
Featuring ZEUS Panel: a convenience bar for quickly setting up the live environment.
#####Net-Installer:
pacman pacstrap and Archlinux mirrorlists pre-installed.
Install rpm distros that support zypper via zypper's --root switch.
debootstrap available in TW's repos for Debian/Ubuntu.
Use arch-chroot from the package arch-install-scripts for easy chroot.
#####Usage:
Burn the ISO to your worst quality usbstick using imagewriter, dd method, etc;
RAMdisk- usb speed does not matter.
#####Inspiration:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Expert_Installation "Basically any ISO that provides zypper will work."
Which has morphed into semi-universal net-installer: Install all of the distros!
#####Misc:
Feel free to audit and leave a comment! ~zeus
