Hi all,
I've got a project on the go that is based on a portable installation of probably Xubuntu on a USB stick, with some very specific audio player software, playing through a USB sound card that goes with the memory stick. This is for a radio station so we can use any available laptop when we're away from the studio rather than having to create a dedicated machine.
My key requirements are as follows:
Boots cleanly from USB stick without silly installation interface of standard live CD
Gives full USB stick capacity (16GB)
Music can be added/removed with stick plugged into a source computer and mounted as removable drive
I've looked at Rudd-o's Portable Linux (http://rudd-o.com/new-projects/portablelinux/documentation), but that's confused me and looks old. What's the best way of doing what I'm after, if indeed it's at all possible?
Many thanks,
Tim
