About Linux Live Kit Improved
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
Linux Live Kit Improved, as the name suggests, is an
|
||||
improved fork of the original Linux Live Kit.
|
||||
Website (the original version): http://linux-live.org/
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
This text file combines all documents into one.
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
1] Boot parameters
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
These are used by the kernel and the Live Kit
|
||||
system itself.
|
||||
|
||||
You can pass these boot parameters to the bootloader:
|
||||
|
||||
Live Kit parameters:
|
||||
> debug - Start the Live Kit in verbose mode.
|
||||
> dbg_shell - Start the debug shell several times while starting up.
|
||||
> from={n} - Load data from {n}. (will search all devices for the data)
|
||||
> copy2ram - Boot the Live Kit system just as normal, but also copy data to RAM.
|
||||
> perch - Activate persistent changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Kernel parameters:
|
||||
> noapic - Disable APIC (if you want, or maybe if your kernel screams about it!)
|
||||
> acpi=off - Disable ACPI (if you might be still using a legacy system :P)
|
||||
> init={n} - Execute command {n} instead of the init script itself.
|
||||
|
||||
2] Bundles
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
A bundle is compressed squashfs filesystem, consisting of
|
||||
up-to-the-root directory structure. The older, but still
|
||||
functional predecessor of the bundle is called a 'module'.
|
||||
The bundle is an improved version of the 'module'.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE:
|
||||
The defaults is 512k, but I opted with 1024k, since
|
||||
my system can handle that load, and I will get a smaller
|
||||
bundule size, which is a !!HUGE!! advantage!
|
||||
And, note: this message is also from the future (2k17!), which means
|
||||
that software has also evolved as the years has passed...
|
||||
'mksquashfs' will go nuts if you supply it with '-bs' instead of '-b'...
|
||||
|
||||
How to make a bundle:
|
||||
# mksquashfs bundle_rootfs wholefs.{bext} -comp xz -b 1024k
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
# mksquashfs /usr /usr.{bext} --keep-as-directory -comp xz -b 1024k
|
||||
|
||||
or use function in livekitlib:
|
||||
# source ./livekitlib; mkbund bundle_rootfs wholefs.{bext}
|
||||
|
||||
3] Supported filesystems
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The Live distro created by Linux Live Kit can be installed
|
||||
on the following filesystems:
|
||||
|
||||
+ ISO9660 (CD) - using ISOLinux
|
||||
+ FAT32 (vfat) - using SysLinux or EXTLinux
|
||||
+ NTFS - using SysLinux or EXTLinux
|
||||
+ EXT2/3/4, BTRFS - using EXTLinux
|
||||
+ any other FS - using LILO
|
||||
|
||||
Most users will install on FAT32 for
|
||||
compatibility with any other operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
4] Terminology
|
||||
=========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
+ This toolkit is based on
|
||||
the original Linux Live Kit. (http://linux-live.org/)
|
||||
|
||||
Extracted from the original terminology.txt:
|
||||
> also known as Linux Live Kit. Formely known as Linux Live CD. Nowadays,
|
||||
> people mostly use USB flash drives, cameras, and other devices to run
|
||||
> such 'Live' linuxes, thus Live CD is no longer ideal name for it.
|
||||
|
||||
> Meaning of Kit is like a tool, toolkit, or such. Which (I believe) corresponds
|
||||
> with the usage of such Live Linux distribution much better.
