In this chapter, we will explain how to create the DVD and USB memory required to start using FuguIta, and the initial settings to make when starting FuguIta.
Creating FuguIta media†
LiveDVD and LiveUSB†
There are two main ways to use FuguIta.
One is a method called "LiveDVD" that writes Fuguita to a DVD-R or DVD-RW and starts it.
The other method is to boot what is written in the USB memory, which is called "LiveUSB".
Fuguita can be used in the same way by using either the LiveDVD version or the LiveUSB version, but each has its own characteristics, so it is better to use them according to the purpose.
- In general, USB memory has a faster data reading speed than DVD, so the LiveUSB version of FuguIta often takes less time to complete system and application startup.
- Some old PCs can't boot from USB sticks well or don't support booting itself.
On the other hand, most DVD drives are manufactured according to standardized specifications, so FuguIta will start up with almost all of them without any problems.
- FuguIta and other "live systems" are not installed on a hard disk, so all data is held in memory. For this reason, normally all data up to that point will be lost when the system is shut down.
The LiveUSB version of FuguIta has a data storage area, and you can save various settings and files in this area and restore them at the next system startup.
- The unit price of recording media is cheaper for optical media such as DVD-R than USB memory, so you can run it on multiple machines at the same time, use the media while it is set, or create in large quantities. The LiveDVD version is more suitable for usage such as distributing
In general, it can be said that the LiveDVD version is suitable for reliable operation and economic efficiency, and the LiveUSB version is suitable for performance and convenience.
