I've been maintainer of a disk imaging project going back to 2004.
Looked at option of creating an RPM, but go a link to mailing list,
but it then turned out to be dead.
Generally use Fedora to create Project with an iso using syslinux to
boot for CD or usb, then added option to create usb to boot from
usb with bios / uefi boot using grub4dos. All works fine.
Also found, could add to the regular grub2 menu with just putting
the kernel and initramfs file in /boot and adding entry to
/boot/loaders/entries.
#!/usr/bin/bash
unzip g4l-lite-fc43.zip linux/bz7x10 linux/initramfs.lzma -d /boot
# puts kernel and initramfs in /boot directory
# create /boot/loader/entries for option to load from grub2
machineid=$(cat /etc/machine-id)
{
echo title G4L 0.70
echo version 0.G4L
echo linux /$(ls bz* | grep -v .config)
echo initrd /initramfs.lzma
echo grub_users \$grub_users
echo grub_arg --unrestricted
echo grub_class fedora
} >/boot/loader/entries/"$machineid"-0-G4L.conf
Then have option to boot directly to it in ram.
Use latest kernels built from kernel.org. then build the initramfs
recently converted from initrd to initramfs and added zstd
compression, which is faster than older lzo default.
Currently images my 1T laptop drive to a 78G image file in about
34 minutes.
On notebook it creates (telnetd is an option to load telnetd)
cat
/boot/loader/entries/5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de-0-G4L.c
onf
title G4L 0.70
version 0.G4L
linux /bz7x0.10 telnetd=yes
initrd /initramfs.lzma $tuned_initrd
grub_users $grub_users
grub_arg --unrestricted
grub_class fedora
Latest files.
13329408 May 23 23:20 /boot/bz7x0.10
26252385 May 28 05:17 /boot/initramfs.lzma
Any suggestions.
