@ -3,28 +3,39 @@ This set of scripts will help you to
|
|||
build your own Live Kit distro. This project is based on
|

the original Linux Live Kit. <http://linux-live.org>

Here's what you need to do:
|

Please note:
|

Make sure to extract and use it on a POSIX-compatible filesystem,
|

since it creates some (sym)links and such.

Here's you what you need to watch out before building:
|
||||
Some information you want to know:
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to extract and use it on a POSIX-compatible filesystem,
|
||||
since it will create symlinks and such.
|
||||
+ 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. Best practice is to
|
||||
make a directory such as /tmp/a and put all the files there.

NOTE:

Make sure to extract and use it on a POSIX-compatible filesystem,
|

since it will create symlinks and such.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Before you start building your Kit, edit the ./.config file
|
||||
Most importantly change the LIVEKITNAME variable.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Make sure your kernel is in /boot/vmlinuz or change the path in ./.config
|
||||
Your kernel must support squashfs and aufs.
|
||||
Debian Jessie's kernel has both supported out-of-the-box.
|
||||
+ Make sure you are pointing to the right kernel. If in doubt, change the path in ./.config
|
||||
Your kernel must support squashfs and aufs, or else you will get an error
|
||||
both while building, and when you actually boot the Live Kit.
|
||||
|
||||
PROTIP:
|
||||
Debian Jessie's kernel has both supported out-of-the-box.
|
||||
You might consider using Debian Jessie as a base, but it's not required.
|
||||
|
||||
+ You may also wish to replace boot background in ./bootfiles/bootlogo.png,
|
||||
and reorganize syslinux.cfg to fit your needs.
|
||||
Please note:
|
||||
When editing the .cfg file, make sure to keep all paths pointing to /boot/, since
|
||||
it will be replaced to /LIVEKITNAME/boot/ during the build session.
|
||||
+ You may also wish to replace boot background in ./bootfiles/bootlogo.png
|
||||
and edit and/or tweak 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.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Linux Live Kit comes with precompiled static binaries in ./initramfs
|
||||
directory. Those may be outdated but will work. You may replace them

+ 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

/tmp is a regular on-disk directory.
