Booting Puppy Linux off of a Google Drive

[rockedge]

Ran across an interesting experiment which looks like I might have to have a go at to try to boot a Puppy Linux or a KLV

Like all good projects, this began with an Idea.

My mind reached out and grabbed wispy tendrils from the æther, forcing the disparate concepts to coalesce. The Mass gained weight in my hands, and a dark, swirling colour promising doom to those who gazed into it for long.

On the brink of insanity, my tattered mind unable to comprehend the twisted interplay of millennia of arcane programmer-time and the ragged screech of madness, I reached into the Mass and steeled myself to the ground lest I be pulled in, and found my magnum opus.

Booting Linux off of a Google Drive root.


But How?

Booting Linux off of a Google Drive root.

and on another note, to stay on top of things.....Windows gets Linux’s sudo superpower: Here’s how to turn it on

A FirstRib or KLV build might be what I try this with first.

I really liked my understanding of the idea of the "Firefox OS" because I could possibly access any of the websites that hosted any OS you could possibly want, like Distrosea and such. Using a pseudo OS to use a web service OS. Hope I understand this correctly.

Reading this post makes me want a "VirtualBox OS" that can access any OS (ISO) from either local or remote including cloud services. Just the basic infrastructure on local hardware to get where I need to go.

Does this sound plausible?

@vektor_alian you mean boot from network loaded OS?

Hi rockedge

The last link you posted is the same as the first. I read it and then I had to screw my head back on, so I probably will not go that way.

Booting from a network loaded OS is one of the things that would be cool, like the PXE netboot idea. I remember being able to input a URL but did not have the knowledge.

My current laptop is WiFi only, so netbootXYZ is out unless they added WiFi support.

If there exists a usb helper that I can place WiFi info and other info on that would be cool.

Thanks for replying,
