My dance with LiveCD development continues, but at a far less urgent pace. I got enough patched together to have a live SSH and FTP server come up and suck my data off the defunct headless box. I'm toying with the idea of making the regular OS for the box a LiveCD.
Interestingly, the features that most impressed me with Slax, notably UnionFS, found it's way into the latest Knoppix release. With this and SquashFS, the two biggest hurdles of doing a live CD, size and read only, are elegantly solved. I'm strongly considering making one from scratch; it's very educational.
