used LIVE CD version of JDS to compile code.!!!

I was able to use the cd version which I got free from a magazine and was able to install the NETBEANS version of SDk. Is this odd or maybe I am so new to linux that everyone does this anyways. Please share your thoughtsfaisal

I thought that with the LIVE CD version one could not install any software and it was just for show. Is that true. Someone please clear my lack of knowledge of unixThank again for the help!

Sun Java Desktop Demo live CD and other Morphix and Knoppix based CDs run as much as possible from the CD, but they do require some writable space to work with. In unix and GNU/linux /bin and /usr can be static exectuables, run directly from the CD. But /var and /tmp working space filesystems must be writable. Also, /etc (configuration) and /home (home directorys) are usually writable

For these, the live CD will create a RAM disk which will disappear on reboot. If you already have linux partitions on your PC, you may be able to write to them from the live cd, but this isn't recommended as the CD is meant to be a demo.

Thanks for the quick reply. I installed the java sdk and netbeans on a fat32 partition of win2k. i installed it on a directory called home. Everything is working fine. I understand this is an anomally but i am happy of not using windows to compile java code. This cd is a good showcase of what linux has to offer. I was able to run the cd on two other laptops but i had to change in the bios the disk setting to be non dos and disable usb support. I am looking forward to buy a liscense to check out the jds system, however it would be nice if it could coexist on my win2k system without formatiing the harddrive. I also like the fact that i can access the fat32 partitions of my harddrive.

Thanks again for the reply

Good luck! Sun can't support all of the JDS multiple boot OS combinations but it should be possible to install JDS alongside your windows partition. Just be careful and backup anything important. The Sony laptop I use for work multiboots JDS 2 and Solaris 10 (with JDS3). I never used the fat 32 partition so I eventually replaced it with another JDS.
