Came across this,
Although normally test this type of thing personally first, I won’t be able to get to this for at least a week… Will need to find time and scrounge up a spare USB key or disk somewhere…
So, I’ll post this with only the expectation that this should work for openSUSE based on its description, documentation, and technical parts.
Looks like a really simple (Yes!) and versatile (Yes!) way to run nearly any kind of ISO or virtualization diskfile from a removable and bootable medium (eg USB key).
No requirement to burn an image which simplifies running a LiveCD image.
Simply install on the removable media, then copy your image file to the medium.
If you install multiple image files, then they’ll all be discovered on bootup and automatically present a menu to select.
I can imagine at least the following scenarios…
- Deploy a LiveCD image without looing for a utility to extract the image and write to medium.
- View a virtual machine or run it on any machine without installing the HostOS application.
- Carry and deploy different special purpose OS to perform tasks on machines not your own… Pentesting? Network Administrative tasks? Hardware testing?
Installers for both MSWindows and Linux.
And, can’t hurt that it’s open source and publicly licensed.
