Suggestion for next AntiX

[Anonymous]

The suggestion is to have option to make the system ‘frozen’ temporarily without any new respining required or new files – it just freezes the system and writes all changes in ram -like a live system.

However, certain directories can be specified to remain ‘thawed and modifiable’ at bootup.

Exactly like this program:

https://github.com/sloshy/LinFreeze

Its secure and quicker/faster for quick small changes and playing around with new programs

——

Would also love to see portable program creation like in PUPPY

Won’t work on antiX

NOTE: This script is outdated and may not work on modern versions of Linux. Use at your own risk.

This is probably spam, but I’ll keep the post until I’m 100% sure.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Uhm frugal install or a modified version of a frugal install? Then use home / root persistence set to manual; only saving the changes when you would like?

Edit: a few other thoughts…
Mount the system read only (ro vs rw on the grub line) then bind mount the directories that need write to tmpfs such as /var /proc /sys ?

Include PloP in the initial boot menu (like Porteus 3.1 used to do).
I rescued more than one borked Win7SP1 system, and at least one linux screwup, using it to find the boot partition. ‘Course I was a rank beginner at the time.
