I think this will speed up the dCore project a little bit more.

Pretty sure this isn't new: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_live_CDs. A live CD changes the boot environment, but for all the live CD's I've tried the packages were the same as the traditional install.

Hi xor
No surprises and nothing new.
Being able to run from RAM and ejecting the CD/DVD has been possible for many years now.
Tinycore has that option too.

ulfr:

debian live and debian use apt
which integrates the application into the blob 
the application must be then manipulated by a package manager

dcore makes a standalone extension
which can be manipulated independently

thus dcore (and tinycore) is superior to debian  live
and all other systems i have used

thank you jason w for dcore
