Re: A GREAT Linux Security Distro
Take a look at our documentation. It's not very extensive, but it gets you started.
"8.5. Booting Devil-Linux from devices other than the CD-ROM"
Also don't use the new 1.2.7, it has some issues which we're currently resolving.

Re: A GREAT Linux Security Distro
Manu, I am interested in trying Devil-Linux. What steps would I need to take to deploy a bootable compact flash version?
A GREAT Linux Security Distro
This Security aimed distro catch me for over two years now and I can't imagine working without it today!
I'm not a code writer but the build system is so clean it's a game to add new and custom features to your own Devil version. I even made contributions, despite I don't understand anything in developping software!
I love that system is on CD and can't be modified by a potential intruder! But you can also use USB sticks or whatever you want to hold distribution and so fit to your specific hardware : turn your old (or new) hardware in a strong and powerfull dedicated security gateway.
a MUST TRY!
