50 Cool Uses For Live CDs
Introduction
Your computer won’t boot.
“Crap,” you say to yourself out loud, “I really need to finish that paper. Today.”
Your computer doesn’t respond to your mutterings, however. Happily displaying its
error message, your computer waits for you to turn it off or throw your keyboard
across the room in frustration.
You think it might hate you.
Don’t panic: you’ve got a live CD handy.
What’s a live CD? It’s an entire operating system, on a CD. With this, you can boot
your computer regardless of what software problems your computer might have.
Get your computer started up from a live CD and you’ll have access to a lot of
software. You’ll typically find a web browser, some system recovery software and
even a word processor or image editing software.
It’s the perfect tool for computers that won’t boot, but these things can do so much
more than just that. Whether you want to quickly access your data, partition your
hard drive or browse the web securely you should have a live CD handy.
This manual will list many of the things you can accomplish with a live CD, from data
recovery to virus removal to trying out cool operating systems.
There are two ways you can use this manual. The first, of course, is to read it from
cover to cover. You’ll learn a lot about live CDs and what they can accomplish.
The other way to read this book is to explore the table of contents and look for any
tips you might not know already. You’re bound to learn something, regardless of
how experienced you are, so take a look at the table of contents now if you haven’t
already.
Getting a Live CD
Before you try out any of these tricks, however, you’ll need to get your hands on a
live CD. This can be overwhelming: there are many different CDs out there, many
serving specific purposes.
