LFS LiveCD ISO, multilib, UEFI support, installable, sysvinit, boot from ram
by emmett1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TZV3)
Hey guys, i've been working on LFS livecd iso for a while and i wanna share with you guys. This should be good to anyone wanna quick LFS base installed, or wanna use this livecd as host to build LFS. I'm include some extra usefull program like wpa_supplicant, gpm and links if anyone wanna use as host to build LFS. This livecd of LFS is using port system, 'pkgutils' from CRUX (crux.nu) to manage packages. Also this livecd support on UEFI machine. Kernel shipped is generic kernel (LTS), it should work on most hardware and initramfs is required. Kernel config and initramfs generator is taken from Venom Linux (venomlinux.org)
This livecd is follow LFS development book, so packages is updated, and will try to keep it up to date. For now theres is no Xorg yet, only base LFS with some extra usefull packages. I will add more packages soon when i got free time, or anybody interested to contribute packages buildscript, i'm open to it :).
Get the iso here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxfromscratchlivecd
Project github page: https://github.com/emmett1/lfs-scripts
For now only multilib iso available, i will add 64bit only iso later, in case someone really need only 64bit iso, consider this is beta release since i'm still work on it. You should try on Virtualbox first to see how it goes. Anyway to convert from multilib to pure64 is simply remove/comment 'MULTILIB=yes' line in /etc/pkgmk.conf then rebuild binutils, glibc and gcc.
To install it, run 'lfs-readme' after login to see the instruction. I will make demo video of this LFS livecd later then shared it here.
Theres a small changes to some LFS base;
- sysvinit - patch to support UEFI
- python3 - use '--without-ensurepip', since pkgutils is used
If theres anything, just tell me :D
