MIB Mandriva International Backports is proud to present you a new program: MIB-LiveToFlash

Starting from an .iso file, or a Mandriva One Live CD, you will be able to get a pendrive (starting from 4 Gb, better if 8Gb or more) equipped with Mandriva Linux system and therefore a product similar to Mandriva Flash, but totally for free.

You just follow a few simple steps, and you'll have a portable OS, which can save documents and personal files and data in the second Data partion, while your programs could write their bookmarks, configs and saves, in the persistent /home so that they don't vanish when you'll close the session.

The /root partition is persistent, so you'll be able to install your favorite software and to carry on it with you forever.

This software will use the first 4Gb as maximum, and in the remaining space will be automatically created an universal FAT32 partition for Data, reachable from other SO, such as Windows and Mac.

The program has a friendly GUI, available in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Italian language and it works with all Mandriva ONE, it could work also with user draklive images iso, and/or MUG remaster (MCNL, MIB, MLO, MUD, ecc.) at one condition: there must be NO changes from original ONE structure, such regarding label name, folders structure and paths.
You can choose and change label name for Linux and second Data partition, with the command:
livetoflash label1 label2 (label2 would be active from upcoming version 3.1)

Image
Due to a known bug in Mandriva, you can not run a program that operates in root mode if launched from the user menu (problem with kdesu and gnomesu) so you must launch the program only from a root konsole, like that:

Code: Select all

[root@8 ~]# livetoflash

Il MIB Mandriva International Backports ha il piacere di presentarvi un nuovo programma: MIB-LiveToFlash

Partendo da un file .iso o da una Mandriva One Live CD, sarete in grado di ottenere una pendrive (a partire da 4Gb, meglio se di 8Gb di capacità) equipaggiata con Mandriva Linux e quindi un prodotto simile a Mandriva Flash, ma completamente gratuito.

Basterà soltanto seguire pochi semplici passi, e potrete avere un sistema operativo portatile, abilitato a salvare i dati personali sulla seconda partizione Dati, mentre i tuoi programmi possono scrivere i loro bookmark, configurazioni e salvataggi, nella /home in modalità persistente affinchè non spariscano quando chiuderete la sessione.

La partizione /root è persistente, perciò si potranno installare i programmi preferiti da portare sempre con sè.

Il programma userà al massimo i primi 4 giga, mentre nello spazio rimanente verrà creata automaticamentente una partizione universale fat32 per i Dati, da interscambiare su altri sistemi quali Windows e Mac.

Il programma ha una semplice GUI, disponibile in Inglese, Francese, Spagnolo, Russo ed Italiano e funziona con le Mandriva ONE originali, funziona o meglio funzionerebbe anche con le sue derivate, quelle customizzate dagli utenti e preparate con draklive e/o i bei remaster dei vari gruppi MUG (MCNL, MIB, MLO, MUD, ecc.) ma solo ad una precisa condizione: in esse NON devono esserci cambiamenti rispetto alla struttura originale delle ONE, per ciò che riguarda label, struttura cartelle e relativi path.
Potrete cambiare la label della partizione linux e di quella dei Dati, usando il comando livetoflash, nel seguente modo:
livetoflash label1 label2 (la label2 sarà attiva solamente dalla versione 3.1, adesso in test)

Image
A causa di un noto bug di mandriva, non è possibile eseguire un programma che operi in modalità root se lanciato dal menu utente (problema con kdesu e gnomesu), per cui usate il programma solo da konsole di root, così:

Code: Select all

[root@8 ~]# livetoflash

Tips and tricks:

in V3 you can change the label for #1 linux partition,

Code: Select all

[root@8 ~]# livetoflash MYOS
The final name of your disk will be: MYOS

in V 3.1, you can change both the labels of the two partition,

Code: Select all

[root@8 ~]# livetoflash MYOS MyData
- livetoflash -l (language reset)
- livetoflash -i (set MIB icon instead of Mandriva Star one)
- livetoflash label1 label2 (set labels for linux & data partitions)

since V 3.2, you can
-livetoflash -h (help panel shows a list with all parameters)
-livetoflash -r (recover/reset persistent data with new file, if broken)


1 > Use a Flash memory with a newly formatted FAT32 partition: it is always advisable to clear your flash, create a FAT32 partition, format:
In V3 this operaton should be not more necessary, all this cleaning steps are made in background by the program itself

2 > Mount and unmount properly, every time: Unlike partitions may remain locked into some folder/medias and harm

3 > Lay the ISO images to put onto MIBFlash, on a local H.D. and not on a removable external USB HD: transactions, most likely, would lead a MIB-Flash not correctly written and so not working

4 > At the begin, but only for the first time, the usual questions will be asked to specify the language, time zone, the keyboard mapping, which will be saved in persistent mode, so the second reboot onwards, the system will start more quickly, directly and without bother us with the usual questions.

5 > you can add the repository, and then an ample selection of programs that we prefer, but we must avoid absolutely under penalty system:
-Update of the kernel or proprietary drivers

Experiment with your MIBFLASH, no worries you seize: we can always reformat the Flash memory stick and prepare it again, and it doesn't cost anything, just a bit of time for its preparation ...


Image
Approfondimenti e consigli:

Nella versione V3 puoi cambiare il nome alla partizione linux del tuo sistema portatile:

Code: Select all

[root@8 ~]# livetoflash MYOS
Il nome finale del tuo MIB FLash sara' MYOS

Dalla versione V 3.1 puoi cambiare il nome alle due partizioni linux e dati, del tuo sistema portatile:

Code: Select all

[root@8 ~]# livetoflash MYOS MyData
- livetoflash -l (resetta le lingue)
- livetoflash -i (setta l'icona del MIB invece della stella di Mandriva)
- livetoflash label1 label2 (set labels for linux & data partitions)

Dalla versione V 3.2, altri parametri utilizzabili
-livetoflash -h (help panel shows a list with all parameters)
-livetoflash -r (recover/reset persistent data with new file, if broken)


1> Usare una Flash memory con una partizione fat32 appena formattata:
è sempre consigliabile svuotare la flash, creare una partizione fat32, formattare
A partire dalla V3 questa operazione non dovrebbe essere più necessaria, in quando è il programma stesso ad eseguire in background tutti i necessari passaggi di pulizia preliminare, per assicurare un buon risultato finale.

2> Montare e smontare, ogni volta correttamente le partizioni:
diversamente potrebbe rimanere qualche cartella bloccata in /media e far danni

3> Porre le immagini iso sull'H.D. locale, e non su HD usb esterni rimovibili:
le operazioni, con molta probabilità, porterebbero una MIB-Flash non funzionante

4> Alla partenza, ma solo per la prima volta, verranno poste le solite domande di specificare la lingua, il fuso orario, la mappatura della tastiera, che verranno salvate in modalità persistente, per cui dal secondo riavvio in poi, il sistema partirà direttamente e più velocemente, senza annoiarci con le solite domande.

5> È possibile aggiungere i repository, e poi una nutrita selezione dei programmi che preferiamo, ma bisogna evitare assolutamente, pena il mancato funzionamento del sistema:
- Aggiornamento dei Kernel o dei driver proprietari

Sperimentate pure con il Vostro sistema portatile MIBFLASH, anche se lo rovinate per errore, nessuna preoccupazione Vi colga:
Possiamo sempre riformattare il pennino e prepararlo nuovamente, e non ci costa nulla, solo un pò di tempo per la sua preparazione...

Image New V 3.3 (build 1009) version is ready and available, read features / changelog!

IMPORTANT
After many tests, we have found that Mandriva ONE 2010.0 performs better than ONE 2010.1

In ONE 2010.1 there is tracker indexing all the /home and wasting space and many resources,
differently in ONE 2010.0 there is not an indexing service (like beagle in the Free 2010.0 DVD),

so we strongly suggest to stop that service or remove it

ONE 2010.0 64bit are much faster than the 32bit ones...

Funziona! Funziona anche installando il pacchetto sulla 2010.0. ;) ma poi installando la One 2010.1

È facilissimo da usare, ho installato sul mio pennino da 16GB la live Gnome i586, una partizione /root persistente e il resto una FAT32 per i dati. che figata!!!!

Ho subito aggiunto tutti i repo e installato alcuni progs come transmission vlc audacity, tema satanico, fusion-icon e pacchetti vari. al riavvio è tutto come l'ho lasciato, tema progs e tutto.

LiveToFlash è un programma fantastico...fico...magnifico....eccellente... :D :D :D

Thanks very much, I'm reading just now
Have you already noticed that yesterday we released the V3 version?
I suggest you read this Topic all again, there are many changes and improvements...

In the comment, warlock35 is saying a very wrong and dangerous thing!

I don't speak french, and dago68 isn't present now to help me, I'm just registered in MLO portal
so I prepared this text, can you check and tell me if is written correctly, or answer directly to him?
Bonjour
(Je vous écris, en français, à l'aide d'un traducteur...)

Est-ce pas une bonne idée !
Une barrette de mémoire USB Flash a un nombre très limité de cycles de lecture/écriture.

Si vous installez Mandriva Free DVD sur elle, va rompre après quelques jours ou semaines.

Le mode "persistent", qui pourrait utilisent déjà des autres distros, a été créé spécialement pour cette raison...

Le mode "persistent" est utilisé depuis longtemps avec les autres distributions, gratuitement, sauf sur Mandriva Linux, mais maintenant il est MIB LiveToFlash!

Au revoir,
NicCo,

Version V 3.1 is very close!
As soon as possible, after some small functionality tests, if all is right, we hope to release 3.1

We received the spanish translation (thanks to Tobal),
if we'll receive other language translations, we are just in time to add these in 3.1 version

Changelog - v 3.1 (only partial)
- max size for persistent partition increased from 3Gb to 4Gb
- Added support for 2011.0
- Added Spanish language
New parameters:
# livetoflash -l (language reset)
# livetoflash -i (set MIB icon instead of Star)
# livetoflash label1 label2 (labels for linux & data partitions)
- Some small code cleanup and fixes

Post by NicCo »

You could want to try V 3.1, we strongly suggest it!
Persistence is bigger and much more robust, "df" works again!
Almost all errors are gone away


Already working on v. 3.2

Changelog for 3.2 (work in progress)
- It will include some recovery commands to recover or replace any damaged persistence data file, without to be forced to generate the whole MIB FLASH structure again and losing personal files data in Data partition, or having to move them, first into another device and after to move them again into Data...
- Now esperimenting other file systems for the second Data partition, expecially ext3/ext4, if well working,will be included, as an option
- Many others new features and new parameters...
LiveToFlash can works with all Mandriva ONE, it could work also with user draklive images iso, and/or MUG remaster (MCNL, MIB, MLO, MUD, ecc.) at one condition: there must be NO changes from original ONE structure, such regarding label name, folders structure and paths...

%changelog for version 3.2
* Sun Aug 01 2010 Roberto Zaffuto <rzaffuto@gmail.com> 3.2-69.1mib2010.1
- MIB (Mandriva International Backports) - http://mib.pianetalinux.org/
- A much safer way to select the size of persistent data file
- Fixed a partition problem: now "fdisk -l" shows correct configs
- Added Swedish language support
- Some small code cleanup and fixes
+ New parameter added to command:
-livetoflash -h (help panel shows a list with all parameters)
-livetoflash -r (recover/reset persistent data with new file, if broken)


Image
Most of the errors found were caused by problems in Mandriva core, parted problems, zenity bugs:
We had to find solutions and/or workarounds for all those, wasting a lot of time for this reason :twisted: 8-)

LiveToFlash 3.2, è una versione sulla quale vengono risolti alcuni ultimi problemi rimanenti!
Molti dei problemi da noi riscontrati erano causati da vari errori preesistenti, alcuni presenti sul core di Mandriva, altri su parted e zenity
Abbiamo dovuto dedicare molte risorse per trovare delle soluzioni e/o dei workaround per risolverli tutti, sprecando così un bel pò di tempo... :twisted: 8-)

Segnalo un grave errore nella versione 3.3 di Livetoflash.
In serata sarà rilasciata la versione 3.3, nuovo build, fixata.

Errore in fase di correzione: non formatta la prima partizione nel pennino !
