Hi,
My experiments with Tiny Core are progressing reasonably well, but I have a more
generic query about Live Discs in general and creating ISOs in particular.
Ideally, what we would like to do is to create a core distro, based on Tiny
Core, but with some custom scripts and apps included as part of the distro. So
far so good; this is exactly what Tiny Core is designed to do and although I
haven't quite sorted out the wrinkles, I'm getting there.
However, we don't want to change the core distro very often; maybe just provide
updates from time to time as the packages in Tiny Core itself get updated.
Again, Tiny Core provides the tools to do that too.
However, one thing we would like to do then is to include some files that will
be in a separate directory outside of the loop mounted filesystem created by the
live system and then access them from within the running code. In other words,
we want to be able to build a core ISO with additional files that are not part
of the main system.
The questions therefore are:
1. Is it possible to physically burn an ISO that consists of the ISO created in
Tiny Core, plus the additional files added later? If so, how is it done?
2. Is it possible for a running Live distro to access an area of the Live Disc
that isn't mounted as a loop device?
Or is there another way?
