I would like to share the "unbound and dnstools packages" for SLAX Live Linux (http://slax.org) with you. Slax is a live Linux that can be started on almost any PC-like computer machine with 256MB RAM or more from a USB-Stick, CD-ROM or by PXE Network boot. The current version of the SLAX DNSSEC modules contains BIND 9.6.1-P1 (package 010-bind.lzm) and Unbound 1.33, libDNS 1.6.1, Drill, DNSTOP, DOC and dnstracer (package 011-dnstools.lzm) ready to use. The single packages can be downloaded from <http://support.menandmice.com/download/training/usb/dnstools/Aug09/> The full SLAX 6.1.2 system including the DNS-Tools and BIND packages can be found at <http://support.menandmice.com/download/training/usb/slax-dns-training-stick.tgz> (217 MB). To install SLAX from a Linux Machine, uncompress the tar-ball to an FAT formatted USB Drive and call the "boot/bootinst.sh" script. Installation from a Windows System is similar, just used the "boot/bootinst.bat" batch file. We use this system for our DNS and DNSSEC Trainings. Especially the PXE-Networkboot is a convenient way to boot SLAX from the trainers PC to all the machines in a classroom. The trainer can prepare training packages that will automatically appear after reboot on the students machines. In addition to a tool for DNSSEC Trainings, the SLAX USB System is a nice "carry-around" DNSSEC troubleshooting toolset that comes selfcontained with an OS. Unfortunately SLAX Linux currently does not do IPv6, however I will look into that issue in the future. Please let me know if there is something missing or wrong or if you have an idea to improve this tool. -- Carsten Strotmann
