The documentation should provide enough information to -understand how a <em>larch live</em> system works, so that further customizations -can be performed beyond those directly supported. -</p> -<p>The general sequence of events starts with creating a 'project', which will -determine certain aspects of the build environment (such as where to place the -installation files), and select a profile. The profile describes the system to be -installed (primarily which packages, but also various other aspects). All this -configuration information is stored in the user's home directory (~/.config/larch), -so that it is retained from one <em>larch</em> run to the next. -</p> - -<ul> - <li>At present I only maintain a repository for 'i686', as I don't run a 64-bit - <em>Arch</em> machine, but as all the current <em>larch</em> packages - have architecture 'any', both architectures should be supported. - </li> - <li>Make sure you have 'pyqt' and 'python-pexpect' packages installed. - </li> - <li>Download the latest - <a href="ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/larch/larch7.2/i686/larch-setup"> - <strong>larch-setup</strong></a> script - to an empty working directory. Then run it (it is a shell script). - It will download and prepare the 'larch' and 'larch-profiles' packages so that - <em>larch</em> can be run from this directory. - </li> - <li>Run './larch' in the working directory. - As it is a gui program, you must of course be running xorg (see - <a href="larch_quick-console.html">Command-Line Interface</a> - for use from the command line). In general you should start <em>larch</em> - as a normal, unprivileged user, so that the access to the configuration - files is as the correct user. It will ask for the <em>sudo</em> - password when it needs it. - </li> - <li>To build a <em>larch live</em> system you basically just have to go through - the tabs one after the other. - </li> - <li>The first tab allows you to create a project and select a profile. The 'mini' - (no <em>xorg</em>) and 'xmini' (a fairly minimal <em>xfce</em> desktop) examples - (from the supplied 'profiles' folder) might be good places to start. - The default installation path should be alright for most purposes, - but you might need to move it if you don't have enough space on that partition. - Be careful! If you put a silly path in here you might overwrite your system. - </li> - <li>The 'Installation' tab performs the installation of the system to be squashed, - by downloading and installing all the requested packages to the installation path - set for the project. You can adjust a few aspects of this process, for example - to use a local package mirror, or to add repositories to pacman.conf. The default - is to use the mirror set on the host system and also to use the host's package - cache, so that repeated builds don't need to download the packages all over - again. - </li> - <li>The 'Larchify' tab compresses the installation using squashfs, also building - a squashed overlay containing all the customizations necessary for the - <em>live</em> system and those specified in the profile. - </li> - <li>A few customizations of the medium are accessible on the 'Medium Profile' tab, - for example the bootloader configurations. - </li> - <li>Finally the 'Medium' tab writes the prepared <em>larch</em> files to an - <em>iso</em> file (for CD or DVD), or to the partition of your choice (be careful!), - so that you end up with a bootable <em>larch</em> system. - </li> - <li>Particular things that you might want to customize even in a first test run might - be the supported <strong>locales</strong> and <strong>rc.conf</strong> (both on the - 'Larchify' tab). - </li> - <li>Further details of the customization process are in the section - <a href="profiles.html">Profiles</a> and in the documentation to the individual - gui tabs. - </li> - <li> Share and Enjoy!</li> -</ul> - -</div> - - - <div class="topref"><a href="#top">Top</a></div> - </div> - <!-- begin: #footer --> - <div id="footer"> - <div id="footer-content" role="contentinfo">© 2010 Michael Towers<br /> - Page layout assisted by <a href="http://www.yaml.de/">YAML</a> and - <a href="http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/">pyTenjin</a> - </div> - </div> - <!-- end: #footer --> - </div> - <!-- end: #col1 --> - <div id="bottom"><div id="bl"><div id="bm"></div></div></div> - </div> -</div> -<!-- full skiplink functionality in webkit browsers --> -<script src="css/yaml/core/js/webkit-focusfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script> -</body> -</html> |
