  • RIPLinuX home site!

    You'll need at least 512MB of RAM and a 686 CPU to boot and use it.
    There's a 32bit kernel and a 64bit kernel.

    Please inform me if RIPLinuX is working or not!
    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    You can write any bootable ISO below to a CD/DVD, using cdrecord etc.
    You can also write any (except GRUB2 version) bootable ISO below to
    a USB flash drive.
    Example: dd if=RIPLinuX-10.8.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M "Under Linux!"
    Example: dd if=RIPLinuX-10.8.iso of=\\.\e: bs=1M "Under Windows!"
    You'll loose anything on the USB flash drive, but any remaining space
    on the drive can be used by using fdisk to create a second partition,
    and putting a FAT32 etc. filesystem on it.
    There's a Windows version of "dd" below.
    You can create a second partition on /dev/sdb by using "mkpart"
    from RIPLinuX.
    # mkpart b all /dev/sdb
    # mkdosfs -F32 /dev/sdb2
    The above example assumes your USB flash drive is on /dev/sdb.
    Another method for putting RIPLinuX on a USB flash drive is by
    using the "mkusb" script below.

    You can also use this Windows USB installer.
    Choose "RIP Linux" from its menu, then browse to
    where RIPLinuX-10.8.iso is on your hard drive etc.
    It should work with any ISO below, but your USB
    flash drive should be at least 256MB.

  • Universal USB Installer!

    Verify the ISO under Linux or Windows.
    md5sum -c RIPLinuX-10.8.md5 "It should say OK!"

    Read the USB readme for instructions on how to install
    RIP on a USB flash drive.

    Read the mkextlin readme for instructions on how to install
    the Linux system on a USB flash drive partition. You can
    then boot and use it the same as if it was installed to a
    Linux Ext2/3/4 or Btrfs formatted partition on a hard drive.
