Boot Linux From a USB Drive with PHLAK Little Boy

The developers of the PHLAK project are working on a new USB pen drive edition of their Linux distribution. The first beta of PHLAK "LittleBoy" was released for testing today: "I developed this version with USB pen drives in mind. You can boot 'LittleBoy' completely from USB pen drives, as long as the computer supports USB booting. It is small (currently 195MB), lightweight (Fluxbox GUI only), fast (thanks to USB 2.0), but still packs a punch (almost all security tools still included)! The goal here is to refine our tool collection and other package selections to make LittleBoy the perfect size for a 256MB USB pen drive. Later on maybe we can refine it even further for a tiny security distro, ~50MB." Find more information and changelog in the release announcement. Download from here: phlak-littleboy-beta1.iso (195MB, MD5).

7-Zip

As far as I can tell, 7-Zip stores its settings in the registry. It would be better if it didn't. There is always Filzip but it doesn't support as many formats.

MMORPG

I guess I should first ask if it's possible to make an MMORPG possible, and if so could someone make a free MMORPG called Maplestory portable? (Or could someone teach me how to make a MMORPG portable?)

Adobe eBook Reader

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 18, 2006 - 3:13pm

Taking some online courses here and the school is using Adobe Acrobat eBook's instead of paper text books. The problem with (some of) these is that they are DRM'd files. Sitting behind a firewall at work, I'm unable to register my copy of Reader.

I'd like to see what the thought of creating a portable Acrobat eBook Reader would be. Any thoughts? The key here is being able to activate the DRM ACTIVATOR link from within the application.

Thanks,
