Hi,

I would like to create a sort of mix between normal and loramcdrom flavor.


I
want the basic 30mb Slitaz to boot in ram , but want to store all added
heavy software (such openoffice) in the /usr  (as on loram) but not
stored in RAM (as loramcdrom does).

How can I create a liveCd in this way with Tazlito ?

Come on,

Nobody can help me ?

Well... Not so easy...

Say we have a ramfs running in RAM and a cdromfs staying on cdrom (likely a squashfs).
Create a shadow cdromfs with (almost) only symlinks to the autofs location the of real cdromfs. (like tazpkg links)
As long as you don't use cdromfs files, you can remove the cdrom.
Feel free to update tazlito in this way to add meta-hydrid flavors !

Thanx Bellard,

But this is so obsure for me : squash, cdromfs ...

Did you know , I've done something pretty similar before with the "tazpkg links" command .  So I've created à rootfs.gz (to boot in RAM) with inside plenty of tazpkg links towards a device mounted at boot.

The only random thing, is that I was not sure that nothing is written on the hard device ...    (read only)   as my final goal is to have the whole on a iso CDROM  .   So I though the LoramCdrom would have be the solution.

How about using "/opt" to install your heavy programs and then squashing /opt (tazpkg install apkg --root=/opt) ?

EDIT: then probably you can merge "/opt" (readable) and "/usr" (writable) as layered filesystems with aufs or fuionfs

Seems interessting but can u , explain what /opt is usually used for ?
What mean squashing ? aufs ? fuionfs ?    :s
