VLC-enhanced Firefox "Live-CD"?
Posted: 16 Sep 2006 20:53
Hy,
I want to create a CD-ROM which includes the 1.5.0.7 Firefoxes for Windows, Linux and PPC-MacOS X. All three should come with the VideoLAN-plugin out of the box ... err ... disk so that no installtion is needed.
I want to be able to put the CD-ROM into the drive, double-click on either "start-Windows-Firefox.bat", "start-Linux-Firefox.sh" or "start-MacOS-Firefox.app" and have a fully operational Firefox with VLC-support - no matter if Firefox or VLC is already installed on the target system or not.
Those "start-*-Firefox" scripts start-up the particular Firefox and a HTML file with embedded OGG Vorbis files (hence the choice for VLC) both of which will also reside on the CD-ROM.
Getting the Firefoxes on a CD-ROM and starting-up the HTML file seems not to be the problem, I just wonder how VideoLAN and its plugin might fit in there.
Any ideas on how I might accomplish this?
