Yes, I'm talking about the linux live disk script, too. It uses isolinux, so the TAB key gets you to the boot command. I'm sure you can add kernel options, such as nomodeset or noapic or a default runlevel. I don't know if there are any options provided by livekit like the ones that come with live-boot/live-config, such as toram, username=, union=, and a whole bunch of others.

I just noticed the developer has another interesting project........

> xlunch - Graphical app launcher for X with little dependencies for Xorg/X11. It requires only pure Xlib and Imlib2. It allows you to run a program by clicking its icon; alternatively, you can also just type any arbitrary command using your keyboard.
> http://xlunch.org

It's of no use to me but i thought i'd mention it as it might be useful for people that do remote login if it's that low on resources?

Just been reading about overlayFS and apart from it being more modern it is supposed to be really fast , have you experimented with it for Refracta tools?

Overlay is used in the newer versions of live-boot. I've made a few isos with it in ascii and in jessie with backports kernel. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Speed seems to be more related to which usb stick I use, but I haven't tried timing anything.

Admittedly most of the pages and benchmarks i found at Google search were for dockers and SystemD containers so maybe it different under those conditions , or alternatively the supporters of Overlay are just overstating how great it is as there seemed to be a lot of negativity towards Aufs for being overly complex to use in comparison?
