## Before you build:
1. Store Linux Live Kit in a directory which is not going to be included
- Store Linux Live Kit in a directory which is not going to be included
in your live distro, else it would be copied to it.
The best practice is to make a directory such
as for example: '/tmp/a', and put all the files there.

Make sure to extract and use it on a POSIX-compatible
filesystem (for ex: EXT4), since it will create symlinks
and such that might not be compatible in for example: FAT
and such other filesystems.

- Before you start building your Live Kit, please consider
editing the ./.config file, and tweak it to suit your needs.
Most importantly, change the LIVEKITNAME variable.

- Make sure you are pointing to the right kernel. If in doubt,
change the path in ./.config. Your kernel must support both
SquashFS and AUFS, or else you will get an error both while
building, and when you actually boot your Live Kit.
### PROTIP:

* On most Linux distro-s, the kernel is in /vmlinuz, a
symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-* or even /boot/vmlinux-*
* Debian Jessie's kernel supports both AUFS and SquashFS out-of-the-box.
It's recommended to use Debian Jessie as the base OS, but the choice is yours.

- It's recommended to replace boot background in
bootfiles/bootpic.png and edit syslinux.cfg to fit your needs.
### NOTE:
* When editing the configuration file, make sure to keep all paths
pointing to /boot/, since it will be replaced to /LIVEKITNAME/boot/
during the build session.
5. Linux Live Kit comes with precompiled static binaries in ./initramfs
- Linux Live Kit comes with precompiled static binaries in ./initramfs
directory. Those may be outdated but will work. You may replace them
by your own statically linked binaries, if you know how to compile them.

- If you want to boot your Live Kit from a CD, you'll need to recompile
syslinux.bin and/or isolinux.bin else it won't be able to boot
your Live Kit from directory "/LIVEKITNAME".

the ZIP archive version.

- If you have tmpfs mounted on /tmp, make sure you have enough (or maybe even
a lot of) RAM, since Live Kit will store lots of data to the target.
If you don't have enough (or even went out of) RAM, make sure
that /tmp is a regular on-disk directory.

- If you want to include your own bundules, then the 'include\_bund/' directory
might come in handy! Just make sure that the file extension will match
with your chosen .BEXT extension.
