Frankie Linux

Adjust text size:


Frankie Linux is a Live CD which contains the Linux desktop operating system for PC.


It is a Slackware based distro and it contains almost all the useful software for running full-fledged desktop, including Xwindow graphics user interface and lots of other helpful applications. As a Live CD, it benefits from UnionFS filesystem, which makes all module files "pseudo-writable".

Frankie Linux can also be installed (manually) to a ext2/ext3/Reiserfs partition like other distributions, but you have to configure boot loader manually. It runs Linux directly from the CD without installing. All your available partitions and data storage devices (CD-ROM, USB storage devices, etc.) should be recognized at boot and should be mounted to the /mnt directory.

You can also copy the CD to a FAT32 partition, and run it on your hard disk by launching a ms-dos program called loadlin.
