PIAPARA LiveCD with network support

Hello people, how are you?

This week was great. I managed how to add network support into PIAPARA LiveCD. Currently it has only these features:
  • Ethernet network support.
  • IPv4 protocol.
  • All ethernet network cards (except for wireless) supported by Mandriva Linux 2009.1 kernel version 2.6.29.6-desktop-2mnb.
  • Automatic network configuration by DHCP protocol.
  • FTP server daemon to access the /mnt folder and add/update/delete roms, snaps, samples! It makes the rom update process too easy.
When a new SDLMAME comes, I'll release a new PIAPARA LiveCD with these features. My marriage will be 21/november, so don't expect any news before this because I'm too busy until there. :)

Well, I'm very busy last weeks with my marry. I have a lot of stuff to do yet, but I'm working on a new PIAPARA LiveCD release.

Hello people!

I'm working on the new PIAPARA LiveCD. First, I just updated the PIAPARA LiveCD Generator to a desktop application:





Second, I'll add to this application modeline calculations and framebuffer driver selection. These two options will decrease the boot time!
