as you already mentioned there are some live linux cds around including pd (but as far as I remember withoud pdp, pidip... ) like dynebolic, unofficial demudi live cds ..
Dynebolic should have PDP very soon.
what kind of things/tools are you missing in this kind of basic and
(somehow) limited setup to continue the mission.?
a few things...
essential: ALSA + Jack [what is it using now? real OSS or emulation?] PDP PiDiP
not sure if there are already present, but very much necessary: Zexy IEMlibs 1,2,mp3,t3 cyclone/maxlib bonk~ fiddle~ OSC maybe some of Yves' fun stuff like Grid...
optional: Low Latency kernel w/capabilities LADPSA plugins Jack-Rack Qjackconnect Qjackctl a sound editor like Rezound for quick sample manipulation or maybe even Ardour, if you dare...
but these last things really get the project much closer to Guenter's unofficial DeMuDi CD. depends on how big you dream for a tiny little 3" CD.
but the externals and enhanced audio functionality really expand the project more, without too much trouble and space I hope. maybe I will play around with it myself as well, and see how it goes.
