Linux Mobile System articles

LMS is a Linux mobile system which supported all usb pen drive computers. LMS use boot from usb flashdrive and install operating system from flash drive. The initial idea is to fuse two separated disciplines: the programming and the systems management.

Main objectives:

• The resources minimization (disk space, memory...) isn't a functional objective of the developments.
• To initiate our Linux system from memories flash USB.
• The programming languages used will be C, C++, Python and Perl, without forget the system shell scripts

About Mobile Linux (MLI)

The Mobile Linux workgroup has as its mission to accelerate adoption of Linux on next-generation mobile handsets and other converged voice/data portable devices and to provide a mobile profile for the LSB.

Open Source Projects - The Mobile Linux workgroup does not impose unfunded mandates upon the Linux industry. Rather, it creates guideline specifications based on existing open source (prototype) implementations and works with LF members and open source community members to invest in existing projects and instigate creation of new projects to fill gaps and fulfill the promise of Linux in key segments like mobile telephony.

Linux mobile system characteristics:

• RPM system of packages Fedora based, reconstructed in order to minimize space.

• The start up of the system in console or frame buffer mode in order to cover the greatest number of graphic chipset.

• Detection of hardware through the use of Kudzu. Making special emphasis on the detection of the greatest possible number of network cards.

• Kernel Linux with the latest USB subsystem in terms of stability.

• Start up through GRUB or also through extra floppy disk for machines which don't have USB start up through BIOS.
