Rolling my own iso

[PackRat]

Nice work with the distro and basing it on Slackware Current.

I know the scripts are on your git page, but I thought there was a How To thread in the forum, or a document on the git page, if I wanted to creatre my own installation iso - I'm thinking of creating a fluxbox spin of slackel, if only to see if I can do it.

If that document exists, can you link me to it?

There are different scripts for creating the installation and live iso.
So confirm that you are talking about installation iso scripts before to write details about how to do it.
It will be very nice if more people involve in creating slackel iso editions.

Yes, I want to try and create an installation iso for a fluxbox spin of slackel.

1. download the scripts of github

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/djemos/iso-creation-slackel.git

2.

Code: Select all

cd iso-creation-slackel

3. You have to update the lists-fluxbox since they are old and some packages have been removed or added in slackware-current
Take the core list from openbox lists-openbox since it is the same in all editions. or can see the differences using diff command.
4. To check missing packages
be sure to change /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc to point to salix-14.2
(# The Salix repository
SOURCE=http://download.salixos.org/x86_64/14.2/:PREFERRED
)
this done auomatically by update slapt-get

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i slapt-get
sudo slapt-get -u

Code: Select all

cp pkglistcheck lists-fluxbox
chmod 755 pkglistcheck
./pkglistcheck > file
geany file 

to see missing packages and add them to lists, core, basic, full.
You maybe need to transfer a package from basic to full list for example.
Then go back

Code: Select all

cd ..

and run every script from 00- to 99
Finally install the iso to vmware i use it instead of vbox and test the iso.
go back and solve any bugs and recreate the iso.
Name the iso alpha1 or beta1
for testing before the rc1 and final release.

It will be fine if you have installed slackel-fluxbox and upgraded to current, including kernel. So you will know how it is running before continue to create the iso. Can do this in vmware so will not harm your main system.
