41 <h3>Tazlito - SliTaz Live Tool</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
42 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
43 Tazlito is a tool to help generate and configure SliTaz LiveCD ISO images.
|
|
pankso@7
|
44 You can create a custom distro in two commands from a list of packages and a
|
|
pankso@7
|
45 flavor file, extract an existing ISO image to hack it, create new initramfs
|
|
pankso@7
|
46 and/or a new ISO. Most commands must be run by root, except the stats and the
|
|
pankso@7
|
47 configuration file manipulation. Like other SliTaz tiny utils, you can simply
|
|
pankso@7
|
48 type <code>tazlito usage</code> in a terminal to get a list of all
|
|
pankso@7
|
49 commands with a short description in English.
|
|
pankso@7
|
50 </p>

|
53 <h3>Get a flavor</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
54 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
55 SliTaz LiveCD can easily be rebuilt using Tazlito flavor support. A special
|
|
pankso@7
|
56 LiveCD flavor can be built from the LiveCD/RAM itself or from an installed
|
|
pankso@7
|
57 system. If you want to rebuild SliTaz from the LiveCD you need at least 256 Mb
|
|
pankso@7
|
58 of RAM and we recommend that you store the file on persistent media (USB key, HD,
|
|
pankso@7
|
59 etc). To start you need to get a flavor file from a SliTaz mirror, open a Xterm,
|
|
pankso@7
|
60 become root administrator and get the default core system:
|
|
pankso@7
|
61 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
62 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
63 # tazlito get-flavor core
|
|
pankso@7
|
64 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
65
|
|
pankso@7
|
66 <a name="gen-distro"></a>
|
|
pankso@7
|
67 <h3>Generate your own distro</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
68 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
69 The command <code>get-flavor</code> will download the core flavor, giving you a description
|
|
pankso@7
|
70 and a list of packages in the current directory with some additional files in
|
|
pankso@7
|
71 /home/slitaz/distro/addfiles (JWM menu, wallpapers, hacker files). From now on
|
|
pankso@7
|
72 you can add or remove packages in the list (<code>distro-packages.list</code>),
|
|
pankso@7
|
73 modify configuration files (<code>tazlito.conf</code>) and optionally modify
|
|
pankso@7
|
74 additional files. Then simply generate a LiveCD ISO image:
|
|
pankso@7
|
75 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
76 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
77 # tazlito gen-distro
|
|
pankso@7
|
78 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
79 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
80 The LiveCD ISO image, root filesystem (rootfs) and the content of the CD
|
|
pankso@7
|
81 (rootcd) are in /home/slitaz/distro. All repacked or downloaded packages are
|
|
pankso@7
|
82 stored by default in /home/slitaz/packages. If you want to chroot in the
|
|
pankso@7
|
83 rootfs to preconfigure the system, add more files in the rootcd directory or
|
|
pankso@7
|
84 add users, you just have to rebuild initramfs and the ISO image to generate
|
|
pankso@7
|
85 your new LiveCD:
|
|
pankso@7
|
86 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
87 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
88 # tazlito gen-initiso
|
|
pankso@7
|
89 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
90
|
|
pankso@7
|
91 <h4>Burn ISO and gen a flavor file</h4>
|
|
pankso@7
|
92 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
93 Tazlito can also burn the LiveCD and/or create a flavor file to keep your
|
|
pankso@7
|
94 modifications:
|
|
pankso@7
|
95 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
96 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
97 # tazlito burn-iso
|
|
pankso@7

98 # tazlito gen-flavor
