Hey,

I need to boot a linux OS off a USB, and all i want to be presented with is a linux shell.

Where i can do

./file.sh

Then that's it - in the script i wrote it'll auto reboot.

Everything needs to be complete in about 30 seconds.
 
What commands does file.sh do?

What shell do you need?

Might as well just boot a kernel and a shell, build it yourself if thats tha case...
 
The file will be;

cd /mnt
cd sda1/
cd Windows/
cd System32/
mv Sethc.exe Sethc.old
cp cmd.exe Sethc.exe
reboot

I'm also working on a different script that'll copy a file back onto the USB.
 
I couldn't find just a link to the .iso of DSL, so i opted for puppy linux.

I don't want this GUI though, all i need is a CLI so i can type one line of code.

Sllitaz looks quite promising, but when i boot i'm presented with some keyboard stuff and then have to log in.

Can i bypass all this and just get straight to a terminal?
 
"ubuntu minimal", using unetbootin or something like that to convert it. Exactly what it says on the tin.
