Re: Modular version of slitaz

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/slitaz Archives ]


rootfs.gz is not in root (/). rootfs.gz is just need to boot up system like a normal initramfs would. The real rootfs has to be a module. This is only cause i don't have a livecd script like with my archiso-live iso right now for slitaz. That would allow me more control over what gets into the modules.

With what you have mentioned is this flavor capable of merging/layering a squashfs file
to your root / current system? like for example.

/ = rootfs.gz our root after system boots up
openoffice.sqfs = squashfs mounted to say /openoffice directory where we need to merge or             layer to our existing root /

doing this command:

mount -o remount,append:/openoffice /  (We have a layered open office to our root)

mount -o remount,del:/openffice /  ( to detach openoffice to our root)

I wish it has this feature as you are using aufs. Looking forward to test your custom isos.

This iso has the fully rewritable rootfs (/) with aufs+squashfs. I have boot options like changes for save changed files on livecd to usb stick. There is also a findiso boot option to boot directly from iso if your using grub2/syslinux.

How to make the iso:
download base-slitaz.flavor file to /home/slitaz/flavors/ folder
open shell in /home/slitaz/flavors/
tazlito get-flavor base-slitaz
tazlito gen-iso base-slitaz
The above just builds the base iso. You need to copy taz2sqfs script in rootcd/slitaz/rootcopy/usr/sbin folder to /usr/sbin to build the .sqfs file. There is a pkg.list file in rootcd/slitaz/rootcopy folder.
taz2sqfs pkg-list pkg.list
copy the pkg.sqfs to /home/slitaz/distro/rootcd/slitaz/base folder.
tazlito gen-iso in /home/slitaz/distro folder.

I'm sorry if this is confusing to build. I plan on making a script to make building it easier.

I hope this helps.
