<p>Imclaren: /* NAS-Like Live CD */</p> <hr /> <div>== NAS-Like Live CD ==<br /> aka Damn Small Server<br /> <br /> <br /> I had a requirement for a small server, not unlike the NASLite products available from [http://www.serverelements.com Server Elements]. Although their offerings were very neat, I found that they lacked a couple of things that I needed - PCMCIA card support and a built-in DHCP server.<br /> <br /> <br /> Using both the full and [http://www.damnsmalllinux.org DSL] versions of Knoppix, I was able to create a small (80Mb) Linux distribution that could boot from CD and satisfy these needs.<br /> <br /> <br /> [http://www.samba.org Samba] provides file-sharing services, automatically sharing a hard disk partition. [http://udhcp.busybox.net UDHCPD] allows clients to participate in the network without being reconfigured.<br /> <br /> <br /> The distribution is very basic (as are my Linux skills), but could be enhanced and improved quite easily to suit other purposes (eg DNS, NFS, FTP services etc).<br /> <br /> <br /> Update June 2010: I'm still getting requests for this :-), so [http://cid-e9dd9c943aeffca6.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public I have uploaded the ISO to my Skydrive account]. I have long-since forgotten how it works, or what it required though. IIRC it needs a FAT32 or a Linux-formatted hard disk... But don't quote me on that!<br /> <br /> Oh, and there is a boot option 'nodhcp' that prevents the DHCP daemon loading if you already have one on the LAN.<br /> <br /> <br /> Iain McLaren<br /> <br /> ifmclaren[at]gmail[dot]com</div>
