McAlesterLinux
is the home of the Mustang Linux distribution
Mustang is a very small client workstation linux operating station designed
to run memory resident. It does NOT require installation on your hard
drive. Mustang comes in two formats:
Mustang Flash Drive includes a copy of the MiniCD. At a minimum a 1GB
USB flash drive is needed as a target drive. The flash drive version
comes with Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, and Wine (with Internet Explorer
6) pre-installed. Mustang minimum system requirements are a Pentium III
CPU with 256MB.
To install Mustang Flash Drive the USB drive needs to be formated to ext2, the
above Mustang-Flash.tgz file uncompressed into place, and LILO run.
Steps are as follows:
$ mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 (check for correct device
this is what MiniCD Mustang calls it)
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 (or simply click through the
Mustang destop mounter for sda1)
$ tar xzf Mustang-Flash.tgz -C /mnt/sda1
$ cd /mnt/sda1
$ lilo -r .
As implied, the Mustang MiniCD can be used to install the flash version on an
USB drive.
Mustang is an ongoing incremental project. Updates will be
provided as needed. If problems are
encountered please report to
