void-mklive - The Void Linux live image maker ## The Void Linux image/live/rootfs maker and installer
This is a simple shell script to build a live image for the Void This repository contains utilities for Void Linux:
Linux distribution. The images contain a simple dialog-based installer
to be able to install Void linux to storage disks.
The generated image can be booted from BIOS and EFI systems (dual boot). * void-installer (The Void Linux el-cheapo installer for x86)
ISOLINUX is used to boot from PC-BIOS systems, while GRUB is used to * void-mkimage (The Void Linux image maker for x86 and Raspberry Pi)
boot in EFI systems. * void-mklive (The Void Linux live image maker x86)
* void-mkrootfs (The Void Linux rootfs maker for x86 and Raspberry Pi)
Dependencies: #### Dependencies
- xbps>=0.21 * xbps>=0.21
- GNU bash * GNU bash
- syslinux (to generate the PC-BIOS bootloader) * syslinux (to generate the PC-BIOS bootloader)
- dosfstools (to generate the EFI bootloader) * dosfstools (to generate the EFI bootloader)
- xorriso (to generate the ISO image) * xorriso (to generate the ISO image)
- squashfs-tools (to generate the squashed rootfs) * squashfs-tools (to generate the squashed rootfs)
* parted (to generate image)
Usage: void-mklive [options]
Options:
-C file Path to configuration file (defaults to ~/.mklive.conf)
-c (gzip|bzip2|xz) Compression type for the squashfs/initramfs image.
-l "pkgname ..." Generate a local repository in the image with these packages.
Packages must be delimited by blanks.
-r rootdir Use this directory to generate the image (if unset,
current working directory will be used).
-o outfile Output file name for the ISO image.
-s splash Splash image file for isolinux.
* The first time it is executed a config file will be created (~/mklive.conf).
Take a look at the configuration file (~/mklive.conf) to tweak some
default parameters in the generated image.
Additionally void-mkrootfs generates a rootfs tarball suitable for unpacking
on a directory ready to 'chroot'; and `void-mkimage` can generate a working disk
image with a specified rootfs tarball.
