Re: Create my own linux ISO

[Brian Hawkins]

Yes that and I want a real life data set. I'm trying for something that is commonly downloaded using bittorrent. Linux ISO images are what came to mind first. I think I can get done what I need by tearing apart an image and them putting it back together with different compression techniques.

Thanks
Brian

Why not do something like create a directory called /tmp/test_data and copy
in a few header files or other text files, maybe copy in the whole
/usr/include directory to get a bigger size.  Then you can do:

$ tar czf /tmp/test.iso /tmp/test_data/*

Then you can just make an edit in a file in /tmp/test_data and recreate
your "iso", then transfer it and compare what you get on the other end with
what you sent.

A whole linux distro iso, while nifty, is significant overkill.

It may be overkill for verifying the correctness of his implementation, but I think he wants a bit larger data set for better performance metrics.
