Need live-cd with USB-modem support

Need live-cd with USB-CD boot & USB-modem support. Target image size<30MBytes

Is it real? Can help?

For USB-CD use boot option 'waitusb=20'. You may have to experiment with the value.

"USB-modem support" is a very vague expression...
Have you done web research about support of your specific device/chipset under Linux?

looks possible.
ndiswrapper your usb-modem? probably a wlan? post your hardware list here and the best way will be probably suggested to you (I made running a USB-Wlan + ndiswrapper with TCL).

[tinypoodle]

A wlan usb-modem? Are you sure any such exists?   

ndiswrapper is really only a measure of last resort when all other options are exhausted or a temporary measure (e.g. to connect to net in order to aquire a wireless driver).

ok, cheers to the coincidences  
I just finished today to package wvdial, and work! (remain only to finish infofile)
for my internet key i use usb_modeswitch and wvdial.

Bad news: I haven't found with grep -i "model" /usr/share/usbmodeswitch/* your pen.
This means that it does not support zeroinstall (good) or you have to look for options for switch modality, try to researching

P.s. for testing I created a tinycore only with the need for connecting (and opera9 as browser), all  stay in 27 mb

Hi guys! I`m sucessfully boot my USB GSM modem by changing native image with tinycore.iso, but not experienced in linux and don`t know what to do more

Hi astray
Maybe  ezremaster.tcz  would be of some help?

In order to make it easier, perhaps you make first a USB install? (not an ISO creation on a CD).
Your target: "Need live-cd with USB-CD boot & USB-modem support. Target image size<30MBytes"
So my understanding is: you have a CD reader connected to an USB and another USB port for connecting a USB-modem.
This is what I have on my samsung nc10.
You could do:
- install TinyCore (from another PC) on a USB memory stick
- put that stick on your PC
- boot your PC from it; make all setups by using a LAN connection
- post here the result of "lsusb" when your modem is in your PC
- then make the usb_modeswitch install. See here  http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,11509.msg61207.html#msg61207
I know, this is not your target, but perhaps an easier target in my point of view.

CD reader in USB modem is the CD-emulation from CD image located in internal memory of modem. I`m replaced native iso with tinycore.  The usb_modeswitch is good idea, I`m try to inegrate it in to ISO or something like that.
