Thread: pg_live
I'm announcing the completion of the PotgreSQL LIVE CD in time for OSCON. I've dubbed it "pg_live". It's 105mb large and includes a graphical environment too! I had tried to include phppgadmin but that jumped up the CD size to over 300mb so I decided to leave it as is for now. Now, who can host the iso? Robert Bernier

I think it has to do with the way "damn small linux" was created. The OS has been fooled that there's a complete debian package when in fact it's been cut down so when I updated the distritubution using apt it naturally updated the packages with the full set of files. I'm pretty sure I can do the same kind of job too but it would take a bit of trial and error to get it right. I'd rather get a reaction for this version first. For instance... setting up the desktop.

That's essentially it, php and apache were loaded too. Like I said in my last communication, "damn small linux" cut down and reduced the libraries intentionally to get what it has on the 50mb iso (and this one is 106mb).

Give me the particulars and I'll see about uploading it up to your site. Robert Gavin M.

Given a choice, I'd rather have pgaminIII on the disk. If it's not already there. Have you tried installing phppgadmin by hand from source? That might keep the bloat down since you won't being using apt. If you've already got apache and pgsql and php, it should be simple. Or is php not included either?

I had a lot of problems with conflicts before getting it right. What it boils down to is time. If I've got it, I can do it. Robert Bernier
Robert, I'd say that it's significantly more important to get a one GUI interface on the disk than to keep it under 150mb. Personally, I'm still not sold on the mini-disks, and leaving out a GUI just so we can use them seems dumb. Hmmmm .... we could also use a "sample database" in PostgreSQL.

But the issue at present is to get this first version reviewed. I already see a consensus building here but I'd rather have something out there for people to play with. That way I can make more effective use of my time when I have a definite list of what's to be done. I'm talking to David Fetter right now about getting this 1st version on Bit-Torrent. >Personally, I'm still not sold on the mini-disks, and leaving out a GUI just >so we can use them seems dumb. > > Yes, I'm hearing a lot of misgivings about mini-disks. >Hmmmm .... we could also use a "sample database" in PostgreSQL.
