*** Build requirements
|
|
|
|
** For mkarchiso script needs these packages (build host):
|
|
+ squashfs-tools for mksquashfs
|
|
+ libisoburn for xorriso
|
|
+ btrfs-progs for mkfs.btrfs (optional)
|
|
|
|
** For configs/releng build.sh needs theses packages (build host):
|
|
+ dosfstools for mkfs.vfat
|
|
+ patch for patch
|
|
+ lynx for fetching the latest installation guide
|
|
|
|
** For these hooks needs these packages (on target root-image)
|
|
* archiso
|
|
+ (none)
|
|
* archiso_loop_mnt
|
|
+ (none)
|
|
* archiso_pxe_common
|
|
+ mkinitcpio-nfs-utils for ipconfig
|
|
* archiso_pxe_nbd
|
|
+ nbd for nbd-client
|
|
* archiso_pxe_http
|
|
+ curl for curl
|
|
* archiso_pxe_nfs
|
|
+ mkinitcpio-nfs-utils for nfsmount
|
|
* archiso_shutdown
|
|
+ (none)
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Image types generated by mkarchiso.
|
|
|
|
* image-name.sfs SquashFS image with all files directly on it.
|
|
* image-name.fs.sfs SquashFS with only one file inside (image-name.fs),
|
|
which is an image of some type of filesystem
|
|
(ext4, ext3, ext2, xfs), all files reside on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** File format for aitab.
|
|
|
|
The aitab file holds information about the filesystems images that must be
|
|
created by mkarchiso and mounted at initramfs stage from the archiso hook.
|
|
It consists of some fields which define the behaviour of images.
|
|
|
|
# <img> <mnt> <arch> <sfs_comp> <fs_type> <fs_size>
|
|
|
|
<img> Image name without extension (.fs .fs.sfs .sfs).
|
|
<mnt> Mount point.
|
|
<arch> Architecture { i686 | x86_64 | any }.
|
|
<sfs_comp> SquashFS compression type { gzip | lzo | xz }.
|
|
<fs_type> Set the filesystem type of the image
|
|
{ ext4 | ext3 | ext2 | xfs | btrfs }.
|
|
A special value of "none" denotes no usage of a filesystem.
|
|
In that case all files are pushed directly to SquashFS filesystem.
|
|
<fs_size> An absolute value of file system image size in MiB.
|
|
(example: 100, 1000, 4096, etc)
|
|
A relative value of file system free space [in percent].
|
|
{1%..99%} (example 50%, 10%, 7%).
|
|
This is an estimation, and calculated in a simple way.
|
|
Space used + 10% (estimated for metadata overhead) + desired %
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Why the /isolinux and /arch/boot/syslinux directories?
|
|
|
|
The /isolinux directory holds files needed for the ISOLINUX boot loader
|
|
module of SYSLINUX. ISOLINUX can not find config files on
|
|
/arch/boot/syslinux, like other boot loaders modules (EXTLINUX, SYSLINUX, etc).
|
|
When make your custom boot-pendrive, you need to copy /arch directory to it.
|
|
/isolinux/isolinux.cfg just holds /arch/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
|
|

*** Building the most basic Arch Linux live media. (configs/baseline)
|
|
|
|
* Install needed packages.
|
|
# pacman -S git make squashfs-tools libisoburn rsync --needed
|
|
|
|
* Install archiso.
|
|
# git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git
|
|
# make -C archiso install
|
|
|
|
* Build a basic iso.
|
|
# /usr/share/archiso/configs/baseline/build.sh
|
|
|
|
Note: If you want to customize, just see the configs/releng directory which is
|
|
used to build official images with much more things.
