do not remove tarball until build has finished, as the build process is fragile and dependencies that are needed are listed nowhere, meaning i have to download several times as appeared some tool or header was missing ignoring and hiding errors is bad and evil, instead stop on errors so user can see error and try to fix it additionally fill out requirements in comment. really should test for program existence or headers to be very nice with it
Linux Live Kit ============== Use this set of scripts to turn your existing preinstalled Linux distribution into a Live Kit (formely known as Live CD). * Before you start building your Kit, edit the file ./.config Most importantly change the LIVEKITNAME variable. * Make sure your kernel is in /boot/vmlinuz * You may also wish to replace boot graphics in ./bootfiles/bootlogo.png and reorganize isolinux.cfg to fit your needs (when editing the file, keep all paths in /boot/, it will be rellocated during LiveKit creation) * If you plan to boot your Live Kit from CD, you need to recompile syslinux.bin else it won't be able to boot your Live Kit from directory LIVEKITNAME. There is a script prepared for you which will handle all of that. Simply go to directory ./tools/ and run isolinux.bin.update ... it will update ./bootfiles/isolinux.bin automatically by downloading isolinux sources, patching them using your actual LIVEKITNAME and recompiling. This step is not needed if you plan to boot from USB only. * When done, run the ./build script to create your Live Kit - it will create ISO and TAR files for you in /tmp - make sure you have enough free space in /tmp to handle it Author: Tomas M. <http://www.linux-live.org>
