Create ISO with Tazpkg link into
  • moulefritemoulefrite June 2010
    Hi,

    I would like to create an Iso with tazpkg links in it but with Tazlito -> Writeiso

    I have this message :

    Unable to mount the cdrom to copy the Kernel and needed files. When SliTaz
    is running in RAM the kernel and bootloader files are kept on the cdrom.
    Please insert a LiveCD or unmount the current cdrom to let Tazlito handle
    the media.

    And with this command

    # cd ../

    # find . -print | cpio -o -H newc | lzma e -si -so > /root/rootfs.gz

    I've got after a while

    cpio: short read



    I really wish to create an rootfs.gz which inside there are tazpkg link's . This way
    I could install my rootfs.gz on frugal mode and boot it in RAM but still have access
    to heavy packages installed on an external HD.

    Has anybody tried the same ?

    More generaly, is there any problems to create iso with links into ?

    Hi,

    Can you try :
    find . -xdev -print | cpio -o -H newc | lzma e -si -so > /root/rootfs.gz

    HI,

    Thanks for answering ,

    So, it works . But with only 3 tazpkg links, the rootfs.gz jump from 30mb
    to a 49 mb ! So I guess that the package were included directly ?

    But at boot, while the decompression , the was a sudden screen of errors

    starting with such [(c010....)] .......


    I don't know if the problem comes with the fact that there are some confusion to build an rootfs.gz in a Live session (confusion or lack of Ram (1gb) ?) or something related with links (like a ln -s .... targeting a .wine on an external driver) ?


    Also, I was wondering why the Slitaz team hasn't already think about creating a 700 mb iso (to use a whole cd for exemple) which inside there are a base Live Slitaz (decompressed in RAM with Midori,Openbox..)
    but with links targetting the other part of the iso which would contain more packages for casual use (like Offices, Enna, VirtualBox, Wine ...).
    This iso would be of course installabe and grub may boot the SLitaz base into
    This way we can get the best of the 2 worlds (reactivity but complete).
    And will seduce newcomers.

    Well.. what I' trying to do .. ;)

    What do you think about it ?
