Hi folks, I'm prepared to learn building a LiveCD from BLFS 6.1.
Acccording to; http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/documentation.html LFS LiveCD Documentation Introduction The process of making an LFS livecd ......into six basic steps: 1. Build a base LFS system according to the usual procedure. 2. Add wanted additional packages with the help of BLFS. 3. Modify your bootscripts and tweak system settings to meet your needs. 4. Create an initial script/program that will set up your special environment. 5. Configure your bootloader. 6. Package it all up into an iso. I already completed steps 1. and 2. having a BLFS 6.1 box running with all essential functions similar to other Linux distro. It is a dual boot system coexisting with FC3, the host, in separate partitions /dev/hda2 FC3 root /dev/hda5 FC3 home /dev/hda6 BLFS 6.1 taking up about 1.5 gb /dev/hda7 for building LiveCD # df -hT /dev/hda7 Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda7 ext3 1.8G 35M 1.6G 3% /mnt/livecd I can manage step 5. to configure the bootloader and steps 6. creating ISO image. What I don't understand are 1) step 3 and step 4 2) whether copy BLFS 6.1 from /dev/hda6 on /dev/hda7 with "dd" command and use "Squashfs" to compress it on /dev/hda7 Can any folk shed me some light?
