This works -because the 'larchify' process itself does not change anything within the -installation - all the files it generates are placed in the 'overlay', -which (thanks to <em>aufs</em>) will just cover up any old versions of -the added files in the underlying installation. At present <em>larch</em> -does not support the 'deletion' of installation files, they can only be -overlayed by replacements. -</p> - -<h3>User accounts</h3> -<p>You can enter or edit user accounts to be added during the creation of -the <em>live</em> system. Any of the columns except the first (the login -name) may be empty. -</p> -<p>A password can be set for the new user by entering this (plain text - -I'm guessing this is alright in this situation ...). An empty password -field will allow passwordless logins (at least on the console). -</p> -<p>The primary group of a new user can be set in the 'Group' column. -When this is empty, it takes the <em>useradd</em> default, which is -defined by settings in '/etc/login.defs' and '/etc/default/useradd'. Note -that the default in <em>Arch Linux</em> is a group with the same name as -the user, this is set by 'USERGROUPS_ENAB yes' in 'etc/login.defs'. You can -override this by adding an 'expert' option, or by placing a modified version -of this file in the profile's 'rootoverlay' directory. -</p> -<p>By default the UID number will be chosen automatically, but a specific -number may be entered here. In <em>Arch Linux</em> the UIDs normally start -at 1000. -</p> -<p>The 'skel'-directory column determines how the user's home -directory will be initialized. The default (empty cell) is to copy the -contents from '/etc/skel'. The editor popup shows a list of the available -alternatives (folders within the profile beginning with 'skel_'). -</p> -<p>The additional groups to which this user should belong can also be -specified. Entries in this column are initialized to some default value -which should be adequate for normal use, but may well need tweaking. -This is a comma separated list <strong>without spaces</strong>. -</p> -<p>The final column allows you to pass further options to the system -'useradd' command used to add the new user. Do not use double-quotes in this -option string. Read 'man useradd' for more information about the available -options. -</p> - -<h4>Editing the table</h4> -<p>Click on a cell in the selected row to cause an editor popup to appear. -Clicking on an unselected row selects that row. -</p> - -<h3>The overlay</h3> -<p>Apart from the few customization options offered by the GUI directly, it -is possible to include any files in the <em>live</em> system by adding them -at the appropriate path within the overlay directory ('rootoverlay') of -the profile. This button opens a file browser on the 'rootoverlay' directory -of the current profile. -</p> - -<h3>Locales</h3> -<p>You can select the (glibc) locales supported by the <em>live</em> -system by editing the /etc/locale.gen file in the overlay. If there is -no such file initially it will be copied from the new installation's -(not the host's!) version. See (for example) the <em>Arch Wiki</em> for -more information about locales. Note that <em>larch</em> tries to leave -the locale files in the installation itself unchanged, new files are -placed in the overlay. -</p> - -<h3><em>Arch</em> configuration: /etc/rc.conf</h3> -<p>This is the central configuration file for an <em>Arch Linux</em> -system. You can edit it here (see for example the <em>Arch Wiki</em> for -more information about this file). -</p> - -<h3>Reuse existing system.sqf</h3> - -<p>After 'larchify' has been run, the base installation will have been -'squashed' into a compressed archive. Setting this option will prevent -the repetition of this compression (which is quite a lengthy process) on -the next run of 'larchify'. This should only be enabled if no changes -have been made to the base installation (otherwise these changes will -not be picked up). -</p> - -<h3>Advanced options - the defaults are normally fine</h3> - -<h4>mkinitcpio.conf</h4> -<p>Here you can edit the mkinitcpio.conf used for building the -<em>initramfs</em> for the <em>live</em> system. N.B. The details of -<em>mkinitcpio</em> handling in <em>larch</em> are a bit complicated, -so if you change something here please be careful - you are not editing -'/etc/mkinitcpio.conf', but rather 'etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch0' in the -'rootoverlay' directory of the profile (see -<a href="larchify.html#mkinitcpio">here</a> for further details). -Also, don't change the <em>larch</em> hooks. -</p> - -<h4>ssh-keys</h4> -<p>See <a href="larch_ssh.html#ssh_hostkeys">ssh host keys</a>. The default -is to generate these keys (if the <em>openssh</em> package is installed). -</p> - -<h4>Reuse existing locales</h4> - -<p>For people generating a lot of locales this can save a bit of time on -a rerun, so long as nothing significant (like <em>glibc</em>, or -/etc/locale.gen) has changed in the installation. -</p> - -</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> |
