How to make a SoaS (or liveCD) from scratch

2009-09-10 Thread Andrés Nacelle
Hi guys, basically I'm trying to do a SoaS or a live CD with the image we
are using now on the XO, which has our own selection of activities and
packages. The thing is that I've been looking in the Sugarlab web page
unsuccessfully. Till now all I have is the .img to put in the nand in the
XO, buy I'm not sure how to make a .ISO with which I can create a bootable (is
that word ok?) pendrive or cd.
Any guidance would be absolutely welcome.

Thanks a lot for all your help

You want to take an XO-1's filesystem from its NAND and make it
bootable on another machine via a USB key?

It might be easier (but it's by no means quick, and probably not easy
either) to re-create the SoaS .ISO.

Based on the information at the top of:

http://cgit.sugarlabs.org/soas/mainline/tree/BUILDING

...you could:

git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/soas/devxo.git xo-soas
cd xo-soas
mkdir images cache
echo soas00  images/lastbuild
sudo ./build

...to check that you can build everything.  If it works you should end
up with about 10 gigs less of disk space and a lot of files in
images/, one of which will be soas01xo.img.

You will then have images/soas01xo.tree/, which contains the files
that went into that .img.

You can modify the images/soas01xo.tree/ files and then

cd images
touch soas01xo.tree
sudo make -f ../Makefile soas01xo.img

...to re-create the .img file.
