"LiveCD" format on RaspPi?

[ChristianCMember]

Hi,

I am looking for a “LiveCD” version OS for my PI.
I cannot really figure out if GeexBox always is a kind of “LiveCD” (i need to be able to turn off power without shutting down services… )

Hope somebody out there can help me.

Best regards
Christian

If we could achieve this, we would probably be billionaires and all energy problems on this earth are solved

To be honest, I don’t understand what you mean. Please define what you think is a “LiveCD” version OS.

Hi

A “LiveCD” of a OS is a version of the OS where everything Can be on a CD(not writeable medie).
This is good if need to be able to turn off power with out the need to shutdown the OS (closing processes) to avoid a harddisk error because of disconnecting in the middle of an write to disk.

So if the question was if Geexbox for RaspberryPi uses a readonly root file system then the answer is no. I don’t know it it is possible/useful to run XBMC without persistent storage. At least it would require the library and the location for saved settings to reside on a network.

Hi

The Pi often only boot from SD card,
So not Many would have content there.

Is it possible to make it “read only” ?

Best regards
