Pseudodragon OS Distribution

Description

Live-Only Distro that focuses on lightweight live booting. A spiritual successor to the venerable Knoppix operating system.

What's it good for?

* Live booting with your persistent files, anywhere you can plug in a USB!
* Browsing the web securely.
* Managing remote servers and websites.
* Use your favorite applications on the go!
* Develop-It-Inside-It (DI3) all the tools to develop the OS are self-contained.

What's it not so great at?

Not intended for penetration testing or red-teaming because those tools are not present.

Not usable for heavy duty gaming, as the live filesystem can cause extreme latency during play.

Pseudo-Live Build-Scripts

live-build configuration for Pseudo ISO images.

These are the same build-scripts that the Kali team uses to generate the official Kali Linux base images, found here: kali.org/get-kali/.

Build your Pseudo Linux image today!

---

These images can be used to live boot into Pseudo, from such a USB/CD/DVD/sdCard, as well offers a basic installation. For more customization during setup, see kali-installer.

• kali-installer uses Simple-CDD (which is a wrapper for debian-cd)
• kali-live uses live-build

---

Have a look at Live Build a Custom Kali ISO for explanations on how to use this repository.

There are also other code examples of live-build, as well as code examples for pre-seed to automate/unattended installation.
