The Installation stage, +based on the 'larch-archin' command, handles the creation of this installation +by downloading all the desired packages (if they are not already in the host's +package cache) and installing them to an empty directory (by default +'/home/larchbuild'). +</p> + +<p>Other approaches are possible, such as using an already existing system +or building a fresh installation in some other way. In that case you can skip +this page. +</p> + +<p>By default the package cache on the build host will be used, so that only +packages which have not already been downloaded will be fetched from the +chosen mirror. But it is possible to select another cache location, which +can also be on a remote machine, mounted using <em>sshfs</em> or <em>NFS</em>. +</p> + +<p>This raw installation will not normally be modified by <em>larch</em>, +so it can be reused, or even carefully experimented with. However, note +that any changes you make to this installation manually will not be +reflected in the profile, so it might be difficult to reproduce what you +have done at a later time, or to revert the changes. +If you want to configure your system, then the raw installation is probably +not the best place for it, consider rather using the 'rootoverlay' directory +in the profile. All files in this directory will 'overwrite' (well, 'overlay', +actually) corresponding files in the base installation, by placing them +in a higher layer in the <em>aufs</em> mount in the <em>live</em> system. +This makes it very easy to collect your own customizations in a way that +can be applied quickly to a future build. +</p> + +<p>See <a href="gui_installation.html">GUI Tab: Installation</a> for +details of the GUI for this process. +</p> + +<h3><a name="pacman_conf"></a>'pacman.conf' and 'mirrorlist'</h3> + +<p>To make it a little easier to manage upstream changes to the default +'pacman.conf', a separate file ('pacman.conf.repos') is used to specify +the repositories to use (the bit in 'pacman.conf' after the options). +There is a default version of this file in the <em>larch</em> package +at 'data/pacman.conf.repos', and for most simple installations this is +probably adequate, but if you need to change it you can place your own +version in the profile. +</p> +<p>Note that this file does not use the standard format, but +packs repository name and "server line" together on one line, separated +by ':'. There is no way to supply more than one "server line". There +are a couple of special 'codes', which <em>archin</em> will convert: + <ul> + <li>'*platform*' will be converted to 'i686' or 'x86_64' as + appropriate (according to the host).</li> + <li>'*default*' will be converted to the standard 'Include' entry. + This is normally 'Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist', but for + installation (only) this will be overridden if there is a 'mirrorlist' + file in the working directory - if neither exists, the fallback is + 'data/mirrorlist' within the <em>larch</em> base directory. + This latter file is not supplied in the 'larch' package, + as it is not intended for use on <em>Arch</em> + systems. When the 'larch-setup' script detects that no 'pacman' + command is available, it downloads the 'pacman-allin' package + and among the things that gets extracted from it is this + 'mirrorlist' file. + </li> + </ul> +Here is an example of a 'pacman.conf.repos' file: +</p> +<pre> +# Package repository entries for pacman.conf +# '*platform*' will be replaced by 'i686' or 'x86_64' as appropriate. +# '*default*' will be replaced by 'Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' +# (but for the installation: a 'mirrorlist' file in the working directory will +# be preferred, or - if neither exists - then 'data/mirrorlist') + +# You can add your own custom repositories (anywhere). + +larch: Server = ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/larch/larch7.2/*platform* +#testing: *default* +core: *default* +extra: *default* +community: *default* +</pre> + +<p>The top part of the complete 'pacman.conf' (the options) is taken from +a normal default 'pacman.conf' supplied in the 'larch' package at +'data/pacman.conf'. +You can override this by placing your own version in the profile, as +'pacman.conf.options' (note that any repositories you might specify in +this file will be ignored). A further option is to specify a version of +the file 'pacman.conf.repos' to be used only for the installation (not +for the resulting <em>live</em> system. This is especially useful if +you have a local package repository/mirror. +</p> +<p>The complete 'pacman.conf' file is generated by combining the header +part and the repository part and is saved to a temporary location for +the installation. After the installation is complete a final version of +this file (that for the <em>live</em> system) is placed at +the standard location within the installation, '/etc/pacman.conf'. Note +that it is not placed in the overlay, but - as an exception to the rule - +directly within the installation. +</p> + +<h4>Usage example: The 'dummy' mirror</h4> +<p>During testing I found it useful to work with stable repositories. +I did this without creating a proper local mirror, but by creating a sort +of 'dummy' mirror containing only the ****.db.tar.gz files, relying on +the cache to supply the actual package files. +(The script 'repos.sh' supplied with <em>larch</em> in the +'scripts' directory can build these 'db' files from the current state of +the pacman sync database on the host.) +</p> + +<p>If you are running the commands on the console you can pass the path +to a customized repository list file with the '-r' option. Remeber this +file must be constructed as detailed above. +</p> + +<h3><a name="Custom_packages"></a>Custom packages</h3> + +<p>It is possible to include your own 'custom' packages in the installation. +Maybe ones you have compiled yourself, e.g. from the AUR, or modified versions +(fixes or customizations) of standard packages. To do this you need to put +your packages in a directory and run <strong>gen-repo</strong>, supplied with +<em>larch</em> in the 'scripts' directory, on this directory (run it without +arguments to get usage instructions). Then place an entry for this new +repository in your 'pacman.conf.repos'. +If your packages replace some in the existing repositories, your custom +repository needs to come before those repositories in 'pacman.conf.repos'. +Any packages you want installed now just need to be +listed in <strong>addedpacks</strong>. +</p> + + +<h3><a name="package_selection"></a>Selection of packages to be installed</h3> + +<p>The (compulsory) profile file 'addedpacks' contains a +list of packages +(just the package names, as supplied to 'pacman -S') to be installed, +one package name per line (empty lines and lines starting +with '#' are ignored). Also names of package groups may be included in this +file, to request installation of the whole group. If a group name is preceded +by '*', individual packages belonging to the group can be excluded via the +'vetopacks' file (see below) - without the '*' this exclusion +is not possible. It is also possible to +'include' other files by means of lines starting with '+' - this may be +followed by the absolute or relative path to the file to be included. +Package dependencies are handled by <em>pacman</em> automatically. +</p> +<p>The (optional) profile file 'vetopacks' allows packages to +be excluded from the installation list. This can be useful if individual +packages from a group should be excluded. However, note that inclusion of a +package in this file does not guarantee that it will not be installed - the +package is only removed from the installation list. If it is required by +another package it will be installed anyway. It is also possible to +'include' other files in the veto list using '+' lines. +</p> +<p>Certain 'required' and 'suggested' packages are included by +default, these are in the file 'data/requiredpacks' in the 'larch' package. +This file should generally not be edited, because an update of the 'larch' +package will overwrite any changes. Packages listed in this file can be +excluded by listing them in the profile 'vetopacks' file. +The whole file can be overridden in 'addedpacks' by +starting that with '!!!'. But only do that if you really know what you +are doing. +</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> diff --git a/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/css/larchdocs.css b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/css/larchdocs.css new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cc8e6b7 --- /dev/null +++ b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/css/larchdocs.css @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +@charset "UTF-8";

Which packages +to install is a feature of the profile, as is the basic design of the +'pacman.conf' file. The exact location of the packages (repository +and cache paths) are more related to the build environment. +</p> + +<h3>Package selection</h3> + +<p>See <a href="archin.html#package_selection">here</a> for details of how +the list of packages to be installed is built up. The gui offers +convenient editing of the 'addedpacks' and 'vetopacks' files. +</p> + +<p><em>pacman</em> configuration is handled in separate parts. +'pacman.conf' is effectively split into two, the options part and the +repositories part can be edited separately, though the default options +should be alright for most purposes. This split might ease management +of updates to the structure of the file 'pacman.conf' with new pacman +releases. Default versions of both parts (for the options part a complete +pacman.conf can be used, the repositories will be stripped automatically) +are supplied in the 'data' directory of the 'larch' package. +A simplified format is used for the repository file, details can be +found <a href="archin.html#pacman_conf">here</a>. +</p> + +<p>Note that the <em>larch</em> repository must be available for building +the <em>live</em> system, i.e. it must be included in the 'pacman.conf' +used for the installation process. It is not strictly necessary for the +resulting <em>live</em> system to include this repository. See below for +further details. +</p> + +<h3>'mirrorlist'</h3> + +<p>It is possible to customize the 'mirrorlist' file used for installation. +This can be very convenient, because when building a <em>live</em> system +the build environment can be very different from the run-time environment. +For example, you might use local package repositories for building which +cannot possibly be available when the <em>live</em> system is used. +</p> + +<p>Customized versions of the 'mirrorlist' file are not regarded as +belonging to the profile, because they are build environment specific, so +they are stored in the project directory, which is made current when the +larch backend scripts are run. +</p> + +<h3>Special installation repositories and cache</h3> + +<p>Adjustments to the installation repository file and cache location are +treated as 'advanced' options, because in many cases the defaults will be +perfectly adequate. +</p> + +<h4>Using different mirrors/repositories for the installation</h4> + +<p>The second part of the 'pacman.conf' file, the repository list, can be +specified separately for the installation, via the frame +'Use project repository list'. For certain build environments this can be +very useful. +</p> + +<p>A further way of getting a distinct 'pacman.conf' in the resulting +<em>live</em> system is to put it in the profile's 'rootoverlay' directory +(in the '/etc' subdirectory, as usual). +</p> + +<h4>Package cache</h4> + +<p>Normally the host's standard package cache will be used for the +installation, but it is possible to use a non-standard location. I guess, +however, that this will not normally be necessary. +</p> + +<h3>GUI Tab: Installation Tweaks</h3> + +<p>At present the only thing offered here is a bit of assistance in +managing packages within the installation. The database can be +resynchronized, packages can be added or removed.

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.

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> diff --git a/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/gui_medium.html b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/gui_medium.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2c1b010 --- /dev/null +++ b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/gui_medium.html @@ -0,0 +1,220 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + +<html> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> +<title>GUI Tab: Preparing the Medium</title> +<!-- (en) Add your meta data here --> + +<link href="css/larchdocs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> +<!--[if lte IE 7]> +<link href="css/yaml/core/iehacks.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> +<![endif]--> +</head> + +<body> +<!-- skip link navigation --> +<ul id="skiplinks"> + <li><a class="skip" href="#col1">Skip to main content (Press Enter).</a></li> +</ul> + +<div class="page_margins"> + <div class="page"> + <div id="top"><div id="tm"></div></div> + <!-- begin: #col1 --> + <div id="col1" role="main"> + <div id="col1_content"> + <div id="header" role="banner"> + <h1><span><em>live Arch Linux</em> builder</span></h1> + </div> + + <!-- begin: #col3 navigation column --> + <div id="col3" role="complementary"> + <div id="col3_content"> + <img class="indent2" alt="larch logo" src="css/screen/larch150x.png" width="150" height="150" /> + <div class="vlist"> + <ul> + <li><a href="index.html"><h6>Table Of Contents</h6></a></li> + <li><a href="gui_mediumprofile.html"><h6>Next:</h6> + <div class="indent1">GUI Tab: Medium Profile Settings</div></a></li> + <li><a href="gui_larchify.html"><h6>Previous:</h6> + <div class="indent1">GUI Tab: Larchify</div></a></li> + </ul> + </div> + </div> + </div> + <!-- end: #col3 --> + +<div class="larchdocs"> + +<h2 id="pagetitle" level="2">GUI Tab: Preparing the Medium</h2> + +<p>This tab presents the various possibilities for installing the +<em>live</em> system that was built on the 'larchify' tab onto a bootable +device, which can be in <em>iso9660</em> form (to burn to a CD/DVD), or +a partition on a hard disk or flash storage device. A suitable bootloader +can also be installed. +</p> + +<h3>Bootloader</h3> +<p>The choice between <em>GRUB</em> ('legacy') and +<em>syslinux/isolinux</em> is provided. Editing their configuration +files is covered on the <a href="gui_mediumprofile.html">'Medium Profile'</a> +tab. Whenever a 'larch source' is selected, the validity of this source is +tested, along with bootloader availability, so it could turn out +(according to the nature of the source), that one - or even both - of the +bootloaders is not available. To support a particular bootloader the +corresponding package must be installed in the <em>larchified</em> system. +</p> + +<h3>Selecting the source</h3> + +<p>In the 'normal' case this will be the first (default) option, the +<em>larchified</em> system. The other choices enable copying of an +already existing <em>larch live</em> medium (or building a boot CD +for a USB medium). If no <em>larchified</em> system has been built yet, +a warning will pop up and the build buttons will be disabled. +</p> + +<h4>Copying an existing <em>larch live</em> medium</h4> +<p>The other source options allow the system to be taken from one that +has already been built. This could be useful for copying from CD to +USB stick, or vice versa, or for copies which involve changes to an +option or two. The 'Device' source requires an unmounted partition +(if you're using some sort of automounting, you'll have to sort that +out yourself). The 'iso file' source allows you to select an 'iso' +image (ending '.iso') anywhere in the file-system. The 'Path' source +allows you to select a directory within the filesystem. If you want +to use a CD/DVD as source, mount it and use this option to +navigate to the mount point. +</p> + +<p>Note that whenever a new source is selected a check is run on it, +to check whether it could be valid and to determine one or two +attributes (e.g. available bootloaders). +</p> + +<h3>Build an <em>iso</em>, for CD or DVD</h3> +<p>Only limited customization possibilities are offered here, you can +set the volume label ('-V' option to <em>mkisofs</em>) and select from +the available bootloaders. The only option for medium detection is +'Search (for larchboot)', described below. +</p> + +<h3>Install to partitition</h3> + +<p>Here one must select the partition to install to - which must be +plugged in and not mounted (again, good luck to automounters), and +also select how the <em>live initramfs</em> is to find the correct +partition. The available options are: + +<ul> + <li>Partition: The device will be sought on the basis of its (current) + device name - such as /dev/sdb1. This is only suitable if you can be + sure the device will always get the same name (which - especially with + pluggable devices - is unlikely).</li> + <li>UUID: Each device normally has a unique UUID, so this is a pretty + reliable method. It's just that the UUIDs themselves are rather ungainly + and unmemorable.</li> + <li>LABEL: Booting on the basis of the device label can be quite reliable + and quite readable, so it might be a good compromise.</li> + <li>Search (for larchboot): The <em>live initramfs</em> tests all + visible devices until it finds one containing the file larch/larchboot. + </li> +</ul> +</p> + +<p>The choice of bootloader will determine the file-system with which the +partition is formatted - for <em>syslinux</em> 'vfat' is used, for +<em>GRUB</em> 'ext2'. No other file-system types are supported at present. +There is also an option to install the <em>live</em> system without first +formatting the partition. This might be useful in certain very special +cases but it is generally <strong>not</strong> recommended. Another +option for experts only is to suppress the installation of the +bootloader. The bootloader is always installed to the Master Boot Record +of the <em>live</em> medium, which might not always be desirable, so +an installation without this step is also supported. +</p> + +<p>With the button 'Enable session-saving', you can determine whether the +medium gets a file 'larch/save', which is needed to enable the session +saving feature (this option overrides the profile's <em>nosave</em> +suggestion). +</p> + +<p>The option 'Not bootable via search' suppresses the generation of the +'larch/larchboot' file, so that the method of medium detection which +searches for this file will not work on the generated medium (this of +course makes no sense if the 'Search (for larchboot)' medium detection +method is selected for this medium). +</p> + +<h3>Volume label</h3> +<p>The maximum length of the label should be 16 characters, which is ok +for 'iso' (CD/DVD) and for 'ext2' (GRUB on partition), but 'vfat' (syslinux +on partition) only accepts 11. +</p> + +<h3>Write the larch medium</h3> +When enough information is available, this button will be enabled and +the generation can be started. If an 'iso' file is to be generated, a +pop-up file-save dialog appears so that the destination can be specified. + +<h3>Create boot iso</h3> +<p>If a 'device' (partition) is selected as 'larch source', there is the +possibility of generating a boot CD for this <em>live</em> medium. This +is to cover cases where a machine cannot boot from USB devices, but can +boot from a CD. Just the kernel, <em>initramfs</em> and bootloader are put +in the boot <em>iso</em>. The <em>live</em> system's <em>initramfs</em> +will (hopefully) then be able to find the actual <em>live</em> medium. +The detection method can be selected, and it need not be the same as +that which the <em>live</em> medium itself uses. +Note that the USB device for which the CD is to be generated must be +plugged in (not mounted) and selected in the device chooser. +</p> + +<p>A pop-up file-save dialog appears so that the destination can be +specified. Note that the boot iso does not get the volume label shown +in the gui (that is for complete <em>larch</em> media), the default +generated by the back-end script 'boot_iso.py' is used. +</p> + +<h3>Use chroot</h3> + +<p>To increase portability and reduce demands on the build system, most +of the fancy processing can be done using the system which was installed +for <em>larchification</em>, via <em>chroot</em>. For normal installation +and building of a <em>larch</em> system this is the default, but when +using one of the other sources (for copying etc.) this approach is not +used by default - for the simple reason that there may well not be +a suitable <em>chroot</em> system available. The gui offers the +possibility of overriding this, so that if you do indeed have a +suitable <em>chroot</em> system, then you can use it if you want. +It is also possible to disable <em>chrooting</em> for the normal case, +but I'm not sure how useful this option is. +</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> diff --git a/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/gui_mediumprofile.html b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/gui_mediumprofile.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..eb823c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/gui_mediumprofile.html @@ -0,0 +1,117 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + +<html> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> +<title>GUI Tab: Medium Profile Settings</title> +<!-- (en) Add your meta data here --> + +<link href="css/larchdocs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> +<!--[if lte IE 7]> +<link href="css/yaml/core/iehacks.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> +<![endif]--> +</head> + +<body> +<!-- skip link navigation --> +<ul id="skiplinks"> + <li><a class="skip" href="#col1">Skip to main content (Press Enter).</a></li> +</ul> + +<div class="page_margins"> + <div class="page"> + <div id="top"><div id="tm"></div></div> + <!-- begin: #col1 --> + <div id="col1" role="main"> + <div id="col1_content"> + <div id="header" role="banner"> + <h1><span><em>live Arch Linux</em> builder</span></h1> + </div> + + <!-- begin: #col3 navigation column --> + <div id="col3" role="complementary"> + <div id="col3_content"> + <img class="indent2" alt="larch logo" src="css/screen/larch150x.png" width="150" height="150" /> + <div class="vlist"> + <ul> + <li><a href="index.html"><h6>Table Of Contents</h6></a></li> + <li><a href="gui_medium.html"><h6>Previous:</h6> + <div class="indent1">GUI Tab: Preparing the Medium</div></a></li> + </ul> + </div> + </div> + </div> + <!-- end: #col3 --> + +<div class="larchdocs"> + +<h2 id="pagetitle" level="2">GUI Tab: Medium Profile Settings</h2> + +<p>The profile offers a few medium-specific configuration options: +</p> + +<h3><a name="bootlines"></a>Boot entries/options</h3> + +<p>The bootloader offers a selection of 'boot lines', so that +different systems, or various kernels in combination with various +boot options can be started.

Entering an empty string will cause the default +path to be chosen, to larchify the running system (not at all recommended!) +enter '/'. +</p> + +<h3>Profiles</h3> + +<p>A profile contains the information needed to build a particular flavour +of <em>(live) Arch Linux</em> - which packages to install, which locales, +system configuration in '/etc/rc.conf', boot entries, and so on. Apart +from a few basic configuration details (mainly those concerned specifically +with the special needs of a <em>live</em> system) for which <em>larch</em> +provides a special mechanism, all desired changes from the freshly +installed state should be placed in the directory 'rootoverlay' within +the profile directory. This allows easy rebuilding of a particularly +configured system, and it also allows various (differently configured) +<em>live</em> systems to be built from the same underlying installation, +without touching the installation itself. +</p> + +<p>All profile information is kept in the correspondingly named directory +within the directory '~/.config/larch/myprofiles'. +</p> + +<p>The profiles are shared by all projects, so if you change one that is +in use by another project, it will also be changed for that project. +Deletion or renaming of a profile that is in use by another project is +not permitted, but it is possible to copy a profile within the 'myprofiles' +directory, by giving it another name, and thus creating a new, 'unattached' +version. +A new profile can be also be fetched from anywhere in the file-system, +using the browse button, but in this case it is not possible to supply a +new name for the profile directory (this can be done subsequently with +the rename button). +</p> + +<p>When renaming or browsing for profiles it is possible to overwrite +existing profiles, but you will be prompted for confirmation. +</p> + +</div> + + + + <div class="topref"><a

This can be useful in quite a variety of situations, for +example for testing purposes, for rescue purposes on machines whose +installed operating system is broken, or as an installation medium (many +linux distributions use <em>live</em> systems as installers). But there +are also situations where a permanently installed <em>live</em> system +can offer advantages over a normal installation, perhaps because of the +compression or because a <em>live</em> system is quite robust - it is +in essence read-only, and can be quite insensitive to hardware changes. +</p> + +<p>The main features of the <em>larch</em> system are listed on the +<a href="larch_features.html">Features</a> page, among the most +significant might be the use of <a href="profiles.html">'profiles'</a> +to define the characteristics of the system to be built, the ability +to write to various media with a choice of bootloaders and the +<a href="larch_sessionsave.html">session saving</a> possibilities, +allowing changes made during a <em>live</em> 'session' to be saved +back to the boot device (as long as it is writable!). +</p> + +<h3><a name="requirements"></a>Build system requirements</h3> + +<p><em>larch</em> has been designed to work without extensive demands on +the build system. Although it has been developed under <em>Arch Linux</em>, +<em>larch</em> should run on other <em>GNU/Linux</em> systems. By means +of a sort of bootstrapping, the required software has been kept to a +minimum - many of the build functions are carried out on the newly +installed <em>Arch</em> system using <em>chroot</em>. +For example, you do not need support for <em>squashfs</em> or <em>aufs</em> +on the build system. But basic utilities which are normally available on any +<em>GNU/Linux</em> system, such as <em>bash</em>, <em>mkfs.vfat</em>, +<em>mkfs.ext2</em>, <em>blkid</em> and <em>sfdisk</em> - and of course +<em>chroot</em> - are assumed to be present (on <em>Arch</em> that is packages +'bash', 'dosfstools', 'e2fsprogs', 'util-linux-ng' and 'coreutils'). +</p> + +<p> The <em>larch</em> scripts are written mainly in python, but snippets +of bash crop up here and there. +In addition to python you must also have the pexpect module available +(in <em>Arch</em> the 'python-pexpect' package). The (optional) GUI +requires pyqt. I'm not sure what the oldest supported versions are, +development was done using python-2.6 and pyqt-4.7. +I think python-2.5 should be alright, and I have heard that +pyqt-4.4 probably doesn't work. +</p> + +<h3><a name="cli_gui"></a>Command line vs. GUI</h3> + +<p> +The basic functionality of <em>larch</em> is provided by command-line scripts, +but a graphical user interface is available, to make it easier to see what +options are available and to avoid the need to remember and not mistype +obscure command line parameters. In addition to providing a front-end to the +main scripts the GUI also provides help with organising the configuration +files. +</p> + +<h3><a name="overview"></a>Overview</h3> + +<p>One design aim was easy customization, so that even relatively inexperienced +users could build personalized <em>live</em> CDs (etc.), containing whatever +packages they wanted and with their own personal configurations. The resulting +medium should also be usable for installation purposes, so that one has a +customized <em>Arch Linux</em> installation/rescue medium. As the content can +be chosen freely, a comfortable working environment is possible - in contrast +to the rather Spartan standard <em>Arch</em> installation CD. However, note +that it is also possible, using the officially supported <em>archiso</em>, to +produce a customized <em>Arch Linux</em> installation/rescue medium (see the +corresponding <em>Arch wiki</em> page). The approach taken by the two projects +is somewhat different so do have a look at both. Note that at the latest since +version 7, <em>larch</em> makes no pretence of a 'KISS' approach. The code is, +I'm afraid, rather complicated. The resulting <em>live</em> system should, +however, be very close to a normal non-<em>live Arch Linux</em> system (as +far as the <em>squashfs + aufs</em> basis allows). +</p> + +<p><em>larch</em> offers a flexible approach to building your +<em>live</em> media. You can use 'profiles' to determine what gets installed, +and how it is configured. The advantage of this method is that all your +specifications are kept together in a folder which can be used to rebuild the +same or a similar system at a later date. Alternatively you can do a normal +<em>Arch Linux</em> installation (if there is such a thing!) and then make a +<em>live</em> medium from this. You can even 'livify' your existing +installation (though it might be worth tidying it up a bit first ...). +</p> + +<p>The use of <em>squashfs</em> in the resulting system means that the space +occupied will be significantly less than in the 'raw' state, normally about a +third of the original. As a result of this design, it is not possible to write +directly to the system - which would seem to be quite a drawback, though in +some situations it can even be an advantage. The use of <em>aufs</em> (a +'unification' file-system, originally based on <em>unionfs</em>) allows the +resulting system to appear writable in spite of its actual read-only nature, +by using a writable 'overlay' in <em>tmpfs</em> (a memory-based file-system). +</p> + +<p>Normally any changes made to the system while running would be lost on +shutdown, but by saving the overlay to the boot medium (which is of course +only possible on devices which are actually writable, such as USB sticks), +data persistence can be achieved even though the basic system is actually +not writable. In spite of the different file-system structure of the +<em>live</em> system, it should behave almost identically to a normal Arch +installation in most respects. You can, for example, perform package +management as usual, but the changes are saved in the overlay, rather than +in the underlying system. Of course as the number of changes grows, so +does the size of the overlay, and at some point this will become +problematical. How <em>larch</em> manages this is explained in the +<a href="larch_sessionsave.html">session saving</a> section. +</p> + +<p>Hardware detection is provided by the same <em>udev</em> approach as is +used in a standard <em>Arch Linux</em> system. +</p> + +<p>The <em>larch</em> project comprises several components. The scripts for +building a <em>larch live</em> medium are in the <em>larch</em> package, which +need not itself be installed in the <em>live</em> system, though it may be +useful (and is indeed installed by default). Scripts and data for the +<em>live</em> environment are provided in the +<em>larch-live</em> package, which must be installed in the <em>live</em> +system. There is also an optional installer (<em>larchin</em>) which can +install the <em>live</em> system to hard disk, providing a convenient way +to install a ready-configured <em>Arch Linux</em> system. +</p> + +<p>As with <em>Arch Linux</em> in general <em>larch</em> is not really +designed for beginners - you should know your way around a +<em>GNU/Linux</em> system (preferably <em>Arch</em>!), and be aware of the +dangers of running such programs, such as corrupting your whole system. +In any case, I hope that the +documentation will be clear enough to help anyone who wants to exploit +<em>larch</em> to the full (feedback is welcome!).</p> + +<p><b>Space Requirements:</b> +You need quite a lot of space to create a <em>live Arch Linux</em> system. +Bear in mind that a complete <em>Arch Linux</em> system is installed, then, +additionally, a compressed ('squashed') version is made, and then perhaps +even a CD image (<em>iso</em>). +Building for a USB-stick requires slightly less space, as the iso-image is +not built. If building a <em>live</em> version of the currently running +<em>Arch Linux</em> system, much less space is required as no new +system must be installed - but there are additional problems with this +approach which make it generally not the best way (see +<a href="larchify.html#existingSystem">the section dealing +with this</a>). +</p> + +<h3><a name="larch_installation"></a>Installation of the <em>larch</em> build +system</h3> + +<p>The recommended way of installing <em>larch</em> is by means of the setup +script, see <a href="larch_quick-console.html">here</a> for details. +This installs all the necessary packages to a working directory, and it +should also work on non-<em>Arch</em> linux systems. +</p> + +<p>The <em>larch</em> package may, however, be installed in the normal +<em>Arch Linux</em> way using <em>pacman</em>. This method will only work on +an <em>Arch</em> system, of course. The <em>larch</em> repository is at +<a href="ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/larch/larch7.2/i686/"> +<strong>berlios</strong></a>. +</p> + +<p>The <em>larch</em> command line scripts need to be started as root, and +each has a usage message (run with the '-h' option). The gui should be +started as a normal user (it uses <em>sudo</em> to get administrator +permissions when needed). +</p> + +<h3><a name="larch_profiles"></a>Profiles</h3> + +<p>A <em>larch</em> 'profile' is a directory containing the information +needed to build a particular 'flavour' of <em>Arch Linux</em> as a +<em>live</em> system - which packages to install, and how it should be +set up. For details see <a href="profiles.html">Profiles</a>. +</p> + +<h3><a name="stages"></a>The stages of the build process</h3> + +<p>The starting point is an <em>Arch Linux</em> installation. This can +be an already existing one from which you want to make a <em>live</em> +version, or - the recommended approach - you can use the +'Installation' stage of the <em>larch</em> system +(using the <strong>larch-archin</strong> script) to prepare this. +This script downloads all the desired packages (if they are not already +in the host's package cache) and installs them to a directory on the host +(the default is '/home/larchbuild'). See <a href="archin.html">this page</a> +for details. +</p> + +<p>Once we have the <em>Arch Linux</em> installation this can be +processed to build the basis components for the <em>live</em> medium. The +installation is compressed into a <em>squashfs</em> archive, and a second +<em>squashfs</em> archive is built, which will function as a sort of +'patch' file for the basic installation, containing a few necessary +adjustments for running as a <em>live</em> system and also the +customizations specified in the <em>profile</em>. The other important +component is the <em>initramfs</em>, which also needs to be adapted +to boot the <em>live</em> system. This processing is performed by the +<strong>larch-larchify</strong> script, see +<a href="larchify.html">this page</a> for details. +</p> + +<p>When the 'larchification' has been completed, the components can +be packed together onto a boot medium together with a bootloader. The +<strong>larch-live_iso</strong> script creates an <em>iso</em> file, which +can then be written to a CD or DVD, the <strong>larch-live_part</strong> +script sets up a bootable partition on a disk(-like) device, such as a +USB stick.

A custom <em>Arch Linux</em> installation +(you can choose which packages are installed) is compressed into a +<em>squashfs</em> file-system in the file <strong>system.sqf</strong>, +which is placed in the 'larch' directory of the boot device. +</p> + +<p>For use in a <em>live</em> system a few changes must be made to some files +in the installation. In <em>larch</em> this is usually not done directly, +the installed system is left in a 'clean' state. Instead of that, an additional +<em>union</em> layer is created, in the archive <strong>mods.sqf</strong>, +containing all the modified files. The user is free to include (pretty well) +any customizations (s)he wants in this overlay file, which is also placed +in the 'larch' directory of the boot device. +</p> + +<p>Using <em>larch</em>'s merge-overlay feature it is possible to +rebuild the 'mods.sqf' archive to incorporate subsequent changes to the +system. When this is done an additional <em>union</em> layer +(<strong>filter.sqf</strong>) will be created. For further details see the +<a href="larch_sessionsave.html">session saving page</a>. +</p> + +<p>These system archives are combined when the <em>live</em> system +boots. They are mounted as branches of a <em>union</em> (<em>aufs</em>) +file-system with the overlay above the 'standard' system, so that files in +the overlay have priority over the original ones. A further, <em>tmpfs</em>, +layer is placed on top of these, which effectively makes the whole system +writeable. When <a href="larch_sessionsave.html">session saving</a> is being +used this top layer is initialized during the boot sequence, by copying the +contents of a compressed archive (<strong>overlay.tar.lzo</strong>) into it. +<em>lzo</em> compression is used here because of its speed ('lzop' is a +dependency of the 'larch-live' package). +</p> + +<h3><a name="initramfs"></a><em>initramfs</em> and <em>mkinitcpio</em></h3> + +<p>It is, in general, not possible to boot directly into a <em>live</em> +system. +Some form of 'initrd' or 'initramfs' is required, in order to find the boot +device, prepare the <em>union</em> file-system and prepare it for running. +Many modern <em>GNU/Linux</em> systems use initrd/initramfs (the former +being now deprecated) as a matter of course, for loading the necessary kernel +modules, and <em>Arch Linux</em> is no exception, a modular initramfs system +(<em>mkinitcpio</em>) being the standard way to boot <em>Arch Linux</em>, +and <em>larch</em> also takes advantage of it, although some additions need +to be made to boot <em>live</em> systems. +</p> + +<p><em>larch</em> adds several 'hooks' (code plug-ins) to the +<em>Arch Linux mkinitcpio</em> system (they are in the 'larch-live' package). +The first, 'larch1', is concerned with finding the boot device. +It can select a device on the basis +of UUID, partition label, partition name ('/dev/sdb1', etc.) or else it can +search all available devices for the file '/larch/larchboot'. A simple +validity check is made by testing the existence of the '/larch/system.sqf' +archive. +</p> + +<p>The second hook comes in two flavours - one for <em>aufs</em> and one +for <em>unionfs</em> - it just sets some variables according to which +unioning file-system is being used (at the moment only <em>aufs</em> +is properly supported). +</p> + +<p>The third hook, 'larch3', performs the actual preparation of the +<em>larch</em> root file-system, combining the system and overlay archives +with a <em>tmpfs</em> upper layer in a <em>union</em> and carrying out +various other initializations. +</p> + +<p>In order to generate the special <em>initramfs</em> a customized +'/etc/mkinitcpio.conf' is used, prepared during the build process from the +template '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch0' and saved as +'/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch'. If you want to customize this, you need to +edit '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch0' in 'rootoverlay' in the profile (the +gui has a button for this). +</p> + +<p>There is also a customized <em>mkinitcpio</em> preset in '/etc/mkinitcpio.d', +also working with a template - 'larch.preset0' is used to produce 'larch.preset' +during the build operation. In addition this preset replaces the standard +preset belonging to the kernel, so that subsequent kernel updates (etc.) +will regenerate a correct <em>initramfs</em> for the <em>larch</em> system. +If you want to revert to the normal <em>Arch Linux mkinitcpio</em> behaviour +(for example, if you are installing the system) you will need to replace +the preset by the original, which gets saved with '.larchsave' appended. +</p> + + +<h3><a name="rc_files"></a>/etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.shutdown</h3> + +<p>The initial boot script and the shutdown script must be customized for use +in a <em>larch live</em> environment. This is achieved by using hooks in the +standard /etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.shutdown scripts. The file +'etc/rc.d/functions.d/larch-hooks', in the 'larch-live' package, defines these. +During startup the main tweaks are to the content of /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab. +During shutdown we probably want to disable writing to the hardware clock, but +the main addition is the session saving code. If booting from CD/DVD we will +want to eject this just before shutting down. +</p> + +<h3><a name="fstab"></a>/etc/fstab</h3> + +<p>If the file '/etc/fstab.larch' exists this will be used as a persistent +'/etc/fstab', being copied there during the boot process (in the 'larch3' +hook in the initramfs system). Otherwise a very minimal '/etc/fstab' will +be generated at each boot. It includes entries for any existing swap +partitions, but these are commented out unless the 'swap' boot parameter +is specified (the default <em>larch</em> behaviour is to mount nothing +automatically). +</p> + +<p>The 'x10d_fstab' script in the 'larch-live' package allows the very basic +/etc/fstab generated by the initramfs system ('larch3' hook) to be extended +automatically, but '/etc/fstab' will only be changed if '/etc/fstab.larch' +doesn't exist. +This script adds entries for the partitions it detects, and also mount points +in '/mnt' for them. The entries are such that the partitions are not mounted +automatically. +</p> + +<h3><a name="aufs"></a>[<em>unionfs as an alternative to aufs</em>]</h3> + +<p>In principle, <em>unionfs</em> can be used instead of <em>aufs</em>, +but as <em>aufs</em> is supported by current <em>Arch Linux</em> kernels +it is obviously the first choice. Indeed the current <em>larch</em> code +probably won't work with <em>unionfs</em>, as it hasn't been tested - but +the framework to support it is in place. +</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> diff --git a/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/larch_quick-console.html b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/larch_quick-console.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bb50e70 --- /dev/null +++ b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/larch_quick-console.html @@ -0,0 +1,136 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + +<html> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> +<title>Quick Start - Console</title> +<!-- (en) Add your meta data here --> + +<link href="css/larchdocs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> +<!--[if lte IE 7]> +<link href="css/yaml/core/iehacks.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> +<![endif]--> +</head> + +<body> +<!-- skip link navigation --> +<ul id="skiplinks"> + <li><a class="skip" href="#col1">Skip to main content (Press Enter).</a></li> +</ul> + +<div class="page_margins"> + <div class="page"> + <div id="top"><div id="tm"></div></div> + <!-- begin: #col1 --> + <div id="col1" role="main"> + <div id="col1_content"> + <div id="header" role="banner"> + <h1><span><em>live Arch Linux</em> builder</span></h1> + </div> + + <!-- begin: #col3 navigation column --> + <div id="col3" role="complementary"> + <div id="col3_content"> + <img class="indent2" alt="larch logo" src="css/screen/larch150x.png" width="150" height="150" /> + <div class="vlist"> + <ul> + <li><a href="index.html"><h6>Table Of Contents</h6></a></li> + <li><a href="larch_quick.html"><h6>Next:</h6> + <div class="indent1">Quick Start</div></a></li> + <li><a href="larch_features.html"><h6>Previous:</h6> + <div class="indent1">Features</div></a></li> + </ul> + </div> + </div> + </div> + <!-- end: #col3 --> + +<div class="larchdocs"> +<h2 id="pagetitle" level="1">Quick Start - Console</h2> + +<p>This is a quick run through of the steps needed to download <em>larch</em> +and use it to build a <em>live</em> system from one of the example profiles +provided in the 'larch-profiles' package.

For example, the 'mini2' example profile builds a console-only system, +the 'xmaxi' profile boots to <em>xfce</em>. +</p> + +<p>One thing worth noting is that these supplied profiles automatically login +to the root account, which - potentially - allows all sorts of 'dangerous' actions, +like reformatting your disks or making a mess of your file-systems in other ways. +This is because one of the main <em>raisons d'être</em> for <em>larch</em> is its use +as an <em>Arch</em>-installation-and-rescue medium. For this, you need root access. +However, if you want to use the system in other ways, e.g. for text or image editing, +or for internet browsing or e-mail writing, it might be safer to do this as an +unprivileged user. Such a user is easily created with the 'adduser' command, or +with some other utility (e.g. the graphical 'luser.py' script in the <em>larch</em> +'<em>luser</em>' package). If you have a writeable boot medium, such changes can be +'remembered' by saving the session when you shut the system down (the possibility +will normally be offered automatically). +</p> + +<h3><a name="bootparm"></a>Boot parameters</h3> + +<p>As the <em>larch</em> build system is highly configurable, the available +boot parameters can also vary, but by default 'swap' and 'c2r' are provided. +'swap' indicates that an existing swap partition should be used (the default +is not to use it). 'c2r' means 'copy to RAM', i.e. the system data is copied +to main memory before the system is initialized. This allow the system to run +very fast and frees up the boot device (e.g. the boot CD can be ejected and the +drive used for another CD), but it does require a lot of memory (significantly +more than the size of the boot medium), and the boot process is rather slow +because so much data must be copied. Because of the high memory usage, I have +arranged it so that 'c2r' also implies 'swap'. With A USB-stick as boot medium, +the 'c2r' parameter should generally not really be needed, performance is normally +pretty good and it doesn't occupy the CD-drive (if an extra boot CD is needed, on +a machine that can't boot directly from USB, that can be removed after +booting even without 'c2r'). +</p> +<p>There are also boot options connected with the boot device. The 'nocd' boot +option, if present, prevents booting from CD. This might be useful if you use a +boot CD but want to boot a <em>larch</em> system on another device (normally +a CD will be detected before other devices). This only works if the kernel is +compatible of course. +</p> +<p>The 'root=' option allows explicit specification of the device containing the +<em>larch</em> system. It is also possible to choose the boot device on the basis +of UUID ('uuid=') or label ('label='). The default maximum waiting time (to +allow USB devices to be recognized) is 12 seconds (if a device is recognized +earlier the pause will automatically be shorter), which should be adequate, but +if you want to change this you can do it using the 'usbdelay=' option. +</p> + +<h3><a name="config"></a>Configuration</h3> + +<p>The supplied profiles are not intended to be complete, though I hope they +work reasonably well. They should be seen as examples, perhaps as starting points +for your own configurations. +If you are running a profile with X11, you may find that you +need to configure it before it will run, though nowadays much hardware will work +to at least some extent without any tweaking (even without an 'xorg.conf'). +Minimal starting-point 'xorg.conf' files are offered in the <em>xfce</em> examples. +</p> + +<p>The 'xmini' and 'xmaxi' profiles use a slightly more elaborate login approach on +the first terminal, with a simple menu as well as automatic login. There is also +a logout gui for <em>xfce</em>, which together with the login script can +trigger session saving directly, bypassing the console prompt. +</p> + +<p>If you are stuck with the console, there is still hope. It's not as pretty or +newbie friendly as an X11 desktop, but still quite capable. I always like to have +<em>mc</em> available, it's a real godsend for non-geeks (you should also install +<em>lynx</em> so that HTML files can be displayed on the console - at a +pinch you can also surf with it, but it is painful). +</p> + +<p>If your console keyboard map is +wrong, try running <i>km</i> (I stole this from the +standard <em>Arch</em> install CD and modified it a bit to work in <em>larch</em>). +It also modifies '/etc/rc.conf', so the change can be retained for subsequent +runs by performing a 'session-save'. +</p> + +<p>If you have a DHCP server on your network, you might well find that +the network interface is configured automatically (assuming your <em>rc.conf</em> +is configured appropriately). Otherwise you can use any method to set up +the network available in <em>Arch Linux</em> - see the appropriate +<em>Arch Linux</em> documentation (primarily the wiki, I guess) for details. +</p> + +<p>Of course the exact details of what you can do depends on what +software you installed, so I won't rabbit on endlessly about it here. +Nearly all configuration details should be just the same as in a normal, +hard-disk based installation. +</p> + +<h3><a name="install"></a>Installation to hard disk</h3> + +<p>The <em>larch</em> hard-disk installer <em>larchin</em> may be used to install +<em>Arch Linux</em> to hard disk (or similar). ***+ Or, at least it will be +possible to use it when I have updated (rewritten?) it for <em>larch</em>-7. -*** +<em>larchin</em> deals with partitioning and formatting of hard drives, placing +<em>Arch Linux</em> (primarily a copy of the live system on which it is running) +on the newly formatted partitions, and installation of the GRUB bootloader. +</p> + +<p>As mentioned above the main approach to <em>Arch</em> installation covered by +<em>larchin</em> is to copy the contents of the live system to a hard drive. Those +(few) bits peculiar to the needs of a live system are removed and the result is a +completely normal <em>Arch Linux</em> installation. I should perhaps mention +the file 'delarch' in the '/.livesys' directory (copied there from the 'larch/copy' +directory on the boot medium). This script (if it exists) is run at the end +of the installation +and allows custom installation actions to be performed (the +main reason for its existence is to allow features of the <em>live</em> system +to be removed, because they would be out of place in a normal installation). +</p> + +<h3><a name="install-live"></a>'Live' installation to hard disk</h3> +<p>This is sometimes called a 'frugal' install and means that the system +as it is (compressed, running in a <em>union</em> file system) on the +USB-stick or CD is installed as a <em>live</em> system to a hard-drive +partition. This might be useful if you want to run from a flash device, +for example, as it minimizes write operations to the device (normal access +is read only). +</p> +<p>The <strong>larch2hdd</strong> script (in the <em>larch-live</em> package) +performs such an installation. The partition for the installation should exist +before calling this script, which will format it as <em>ext2</em>. The script +will also install GRUB, either to the same partition or else to the MBR. +</p> + +<h3><a name="change-medium"></a>Copying the <em>live</em> system to other +media</h3> +<p>The bootloader configuration files for both isolinux(/syslinux) and grub +are copied to the medium when it is being built, regardless of which +bootloader has actually been selected. This will, however, only happen +if the support packages for the corresponding bootloader is installed in +the <em>live</em> system. This behaviour allows the <em>larch</em> scripts +to copy an already built system from one medium to another, retaining the +boot commands, and even switching the bootloader.

When the system next boots this file will then be +unpacked into the initially empty top layer. +</p> + +<p>This is handled primarily by the 'shutdown2' script, supplied in the +'larch-live' package. It is called from a hook function in 'etc/rc.shutdown'. +If the medium is writeable and contains a file 'larch/save', the user is +offered the possibility of saving this overlay archive, thus saving the +current state. +</p> + +<p>When this archive grows too large it will reduce the amount of available +memory, perhaps to an unacceptable extent. +It will also lengthen boot and shutdown times. +To counter this, it is possible to merge the +overlay archive with the middle (<em>squashfs</em>) <em>union</em> layer, +<strong>mods.sqf</strong> (which is normally not copied to memory), +thus restoring the rapid load and save times for <strong>overlay.tar.lzo</strong>, +and maximizing the available memory. I call this process +'overlay merging', and it is offered as a shutdown option. The script +'merge_overlay' (in the 'larch-live' package) provides this facility. +It takes longer to execute than a normal session save, so it should probably +not be used for every session saving operation, but just when the top overlay +gets too big. Note that use of the overlay merging feature creates an +additional layer in the <em>union</em>, 'filter.sqf'. This contains only +'whiteout' files to cover up overwritten data in the underlying 'system.sqf'. +Unlike in previous <em>larch</em> versions the 'mods.sqf' archive contains +no 'whiteouts'. It is hoped that this new structure will cure the +problems experienced in these earlier versions. +</p> + +<h3><a name="var_files"></a>Special places in /var</h3> + +<p>It was considered undesirable to include some things in the '/var' directory +in the session saves, primarily because of the space they occupy. Firstly, +the standard <em>pacman</em> package cache, '/var/cache/pacman/pkg' - if you +do want to save your cache, you should either handle this manually or set +up another location using 'CacheDir' in /etc/pacman.conf'. Also the log files +(in '/var/log') and '/var/tmp' (temporary files, like '/tmp') are not saved. +</p> + +<h3><a name="upd_packages"></a>Updating packages</h3> + +<p>It is possible to perform package addition and removal in the <em>live</em> +system, but one should be aware that packages in the base system are not actually +replaced, just (effectively) hidden, so that the space usage might become a +consideration. Also the handling of kernel updates must be handled in a special +way, because it is stored outside the root file-system, on the boot medium +and needs a separate mechanism to save it at shutdown. It should be fairly +transparent to the user, but under certain circumstances it might be necessary +to bear this in mind. +</p> + +<p>At some point, after extensive updating, it might be desirable to completely +<a href="larch_rebuild.html">rebuild the system</a>, so that also +'system.sqf' is recreated. This will require quite a bit of space, +but should otherwise pose no great problems. +</p> + +<h3><a name="de-Act"></a>Activating and deactivating the session-saving feature</h3> + +<p>As mentioned above, for this feature to be available, there must be a +file with the name 'save' in the boot medium's 'larch' directory. This +will be generated automatically if installing to a partition (i.e. if not +building an <em>iso</em>) and if there is no 'nosave' file in the profile. +The gui provides a button to create and delete this 'nosave' file, +thus disabling or enabling session saving on the created medium. +</p> + +<h3><a name="custom"></a>Customizing the behaviour using scripts</h3> + +<p>Some aspects of the session saving can be customized by writing scripts to +override the default behaviour. These scripts are (in general) kept on the boot +medium, in the 'larch' directory. As these are shell scripts and their use requires +some knowledge of the inner workings of the <em>larch live </em>system, it will +almost certainly be necessary to read the existing <em>larch</em> scripts where the +custom scripts are 'sourced' if you want to +write your own scripts to change the behaviour of the <em>live</em> system in +this respect. All these scripts are found in the 'larch-live' package. +</p> +<ul> + <li><strong>session-save0</strong> + <p>Used in <strong>session-save/shutdown2</strong> (in function 'checkse'). + This script can be used to customize the creation of the new overlay + archive, e.g. by specifying a new location. The default is + 'overlay.tar.lzo' on the boot medium. + </p> + </li> + <li><strong>save-menu</strong> + <p>Used in <strong>session-save/shutdown2</strong> (in function + 'session-save'). This script can be used to further customize the creation + of the new overlay archive, e.g. by providing an alternative session save + menu. Note that if the <strong>session-save0</strong> script specified + an alternative device path for saving the overlay, this script will be + sought in the 'larch' directory on that path. + </p> + </li> + <li><a name="boot-init"></a><strong>boot-init</strong> + <p>In initramfs hook <strong>larch3</strong>. This script allows adjustment of + the overlay handling during the boot process, e.g. getting them from another + path. + Note that the shell environment here is that of the initramfs and thus + very limited. + </p> + </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> diff --git a/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/larch_ssh.html b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/larch_ssh.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..85bc9e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/build_tools/larch7/larch0/docs/html/larch_ssh.html @@ -0,0 +1,212 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + +<html> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> +<title>ssh access</title> +<!-- (en) Add your meta data here --> + +<link href="css/larchdocs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> +<!--[if lte IE 7]> +<link href="css/yaml/core/iehacks.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> +<![endif]--> +</head> + +<body> +<!-- skip link navigation --> +<ul id="skiplinks"> + <li><a class="skip" href="#col1">Skip to main content (Press Enter).</a></li> +</ul> + +<div class="page_margins"> + <div class="page"> + <div id="top"><div id="tm"></div></div> + <!-- begin: #col1 --> + <div id="col1" role="main"> + <div id="col1_content"> + <div id="header" role="banner"> + <h1><span><em>live Arch Linux</em> builder</span></h1> + </div> + + <!-- begin: #col3 navigation column --> + <div id="col3" role="complementary"> + <div id="col3_content"> + <img class="indent2" alt="larch logo" src="css/screen/larch150x.png" width="150" height="150" /> + <div class="vlist"> + <ul> + <li><a href="index.html"><h6>Table Of Contents</h6></a></li> + <li><a href="larch_running.html"><h6>Next:</h6> + <div class="indent1">Running a larch live system</div></a></li> + <li><a href="larch_sessionsave.html"><h6>Previous:</h6> + <div class="indent1">Saving a session back to the boot device (or even somewhere else)</div></a></li> + </ul> + </div> + </div> + </div> + <!-- end: #col3 --> + +<div class="larchdocs"> +<h2 id="pagetitle" level="1">ssh access</h2> + +<p>One feature I wanted in my live system was the ability to +access and control it remotely via <em>ssh</em>. <em>ssh</em> is +generally very useful, but in the case of a <em>live</em> CD (etc.) it +allows operations to be carried out on a remote computer, even one +without keyboard or monitor.

How +<em>larch</em> handles this is quite complicated because it aims to retain +the normal files so that the <em>live</em> system can later be installed +as a normal <em>Arch Linux</em> system, whilst at the same time offering +the capability of updating (with 'pacman -Syu') the <em>live</em> system, +including the kernel (thus requiring regeneration of the <em>initramfs</em> +for the system). +The consequence of this ambition is that modifications are made +within '/etc/mkinitcpio.d' (which are reversible when the <em>live</em> +system is installed as normal <em>Arch Linux</em> system) and a special +<em>mkinitcpio</em>' configuration file, '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch' +is generated automatically (and thus should not be +touched by human hands!) from '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch0'. +If you need to know more see the method 'Builder.gen_initramfs' in +'cli/larchify.py'. +</p> + +<h3><a name="reuseSystem"></a>Rebuilding using an existing 'system.sqf'</h3> + +<p>In order to aid experimentation with profile tweaks which do not affect +the underlying installation, it is possible to repeat the 'larchify' step +without rebuilding the 'system.sqf' archive, which saves quite a bit of time +(this is achieved by passing the '-o' option to 'larch-larchify' when running +from the command line). +</p> + +<h3><a name="existingSystem"></a>Making a <em>live</em> system from an +existing <em>Arch</em> installation</h3> + +<p>By setting the installation path (with the '-i' option if using the +command line) to an existing <em>Arch</em> installation, +a <em>live</em> medium can be made from it. +The installation must already be mounted, including any sub-mounts +(e.g. /home on another partition). The main mount must be with +options 'exec,dev', because most of the building is done via a <em>chroot</em> +to the installation. This approach to <em>live</em> system generation is +probably not a good idea if the installation contains a lot of data - +consider how big the result will be ... +</p> + +<p>Also the currently running (<em>Arch</em> only!) system can be +<em>larchified</em>, by setting the installation path to '/'. +This is, however, not recommended.

This directory includes +the list of packages to be installed, locale information and the +particular tweaks and additions needed +to customize the system, in particular a subdirectory containing the +'overlay' files - those files which have been changed from their initial +fresh state after installation and those which have simply been added. +</p> + +<p>Note that of all the profile files and directories mentioned here +only 'addedpacks' is not optional. +</p> + +<h3><a name="overlay"></a>The overlay directory</h3> + +<p>One of the simplest features of the profile is perhaps the +'<em>rootoverlay</em>' subdirectory: +everything in this directory is copied directly to the +<em>live</em> system's overlay, so that the a file 'a/b/c' within this +directory will appear at '/a/b/c' in the <em>live</em> system, regardless +of whether this file previously existed. Note however that all ownerships +are changed to 'root:root'. The bulk of the customizations for the +<em>live</em> system would normally be placed in this directory. +</p> + +<p>It would be possible to make the desired alterations directly to the +base system, and there are situations in which one would pretty well +have to do it this way (for example if a modified or added file was to +have some ownership other than 'root:root'). But another advantage (apart +from the encapsulation of the customizations in the profile directory) of +keeping the modifications in a separate directory is that the base +installation can be kept 'clean' and thus it is easily reusable. +</p> + +<p>If you would like to have a look at a profile, look in the 'profiles' +directory in the 'larch-profiles' package (if you have downloaded +<em>larch</em> by means of the 'larch-setup' script that will be +'larch0/profiles'). Each of its subdirectories is a profile. +If you want to make your own profile, it is probably easiest to start with +one of the examples. Copy one of these directories to your working directory +and rename it (to avoid confusion). +</p> + +<h3><a name="cd-root"></a>The <strong>cd-root</strong> directory</h3> + +<p>This directory contains files that will be (more or less) directly copied +to the <em>larch</em> medium, partly dependent on the available bootloaders. +</p> + +<p>Bootloader independent files are provided in the 'larch' package at +'cd-root/boot0'. Individual files can be added or substituted by +supplying them in the <em>profile</em> at <strong>cd-root/boot</strong>. +It is also possible to completely replace the basic boot directory by +having <strong>cd-root/boot0</strong> in +the profile - then the default version will not be used. These files are +copied to the 'boot' directory of the bootable medium. +</p> + +<p>There are also directories for bootloader dependent files. These are only +copied over if the <em>live</em> system has support for the corresponding +bootloader (i.e. if the corresponding packages - 'grub' and 'syslinux' - are +installed). These end up as subdirectories of the medium's 'boot' directory, +'boot/grub', 'boot/syslinux' or 'boot/isolinux', and work in a similar way to +the 'boot(0)' directories. <em>larch</em> provides default versions of these +directories in 'cd-root/grub0' and 'cd-root/isolinux0'. To extend these, or +replace individual files, place your changes in the directories +<strong>cd-root/grub</strong> and <strong>cd-root/isolinux</strong> in the +<em>profile</em> directory, if +you want to completely replace these directories, supply your versions in +<strong>cd-root/grub0</strong> and <strong>cd-root/isolinux0</strong> in the +profile directory. +</p> + +<p>The contents of the directory <strong>cd-root/larch/copy</strong> will +appear in '/larch/copy' on the medium. During booting the <em>larch live</em> +system will copy the contents of this directory to the <em>tmpfs</em> base +directory ('/.livesys'). This feature is not +used by the <em>larch</em> system itself, but it can be used in various +ways by the <em>live</em> system - the example profiles use it to some +extent, for controlling autologin and for data required for installation +as a normal <em>Arch</em> system (information on features specific to a +<em>live</em> system which should be stripped out if a normal installation +is performed). +</p> + +<p>The contents of the directory <strong>cd-root/larch/extra</strong> will +appear in 'larch/extra' on the medium but are otherwise unconnected with any +<em>larch</em> functionality. <em>Live</em> system designers can use this +in any way they like. +</p> + +<h3><a name="other-files"></a>Other important files within a profile</h3> + +<ul> + <li><strong>addedpacks</strong> - This is the only compulsory file in + the profile (it must even be present if you are not using the + installation stage, but it can be empty in that case). It contains + a list of packages and package groups to be installed to the 'base' + system. Here you can enter all the applications + you would like in your <em>live</em> CD/USB system (and subsequently + installed to a hard disk partition, if that was your intention). + Thanks to <em>pacman</em> you don't need to sort out dependencies, + these should all be included automatically. See + <a href="archin.html#package_selection">here</a> for details. + </li> + <li><strong>vetopacks</strong> - Allows 'vetoing' of packages included + indirectly in the installation list from 'addedpacks'. See + <a href="archin.html#package_selection">here</a> for details. + </li> + <li><strong>pacman.conf.repos</strong> - Set the repository part of + 'pacman.conf' for the <em>live</em> system, and possibly also for + installation of the base system (See + <a href="archin.html#pacman_conf">here</a> for further details). + The default version will be adequate for many situations, but you + will need to supply this file if you use the 'testing' repository, + for example. + </li> + <li><strong>pacman.conf.options</strong> - Set the options part of + 'pacman.conf' for the <em>live</em> system and for + installation of the base system (See + <a href="archin.html#pacman_conf">here</a> for further details). + This will generally not be needed as the default version will be + adequate for most purposes. + </li> + <li><strong>bootlines</strong> - This file contains bootloader independent + boot lines, so that the same file can be used for grub and isolinux/syslinux. + The gui provides a button to edit this file. + To get an idea of what should be in here look at the default version (in + the 'larch' package, 'data' directory), or just click on the edit button. + </li> + + <li><strong>rootoverlay/etc/rc.conf</strong> - As a major point of + configuration in an <em>Arch</em> system this is important enough + to get a button in the <em>larch</em> gui to edit it. + </li> + + <li><strong>rootoverlay/etc/locale.gen</strong> - For convenience, the + <em>larch</em> gui provides a button to edit this file, which determines + which glibc locales are supported in the <em>live</em> system. The + corresponding files are generated (to the overlay) by the 'larchify' + script, which has an option (for experts only) to reuse the locale + files from a previous run (in order to reduce generation time in + cases where the locales are unchanged). + </li> + + <li><strong>rootoverlay/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch0</strong> - Again for + convenience, the <em>larch</em> gui provides a button to edit this file, + which allows you to tweak the initramfs. This is a special version of + '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf' which is used to generate the initramfs for the + <em>larch live</em> system. The default version is supplied as + '/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.larch0' in the 'larch-live' package. Whatever else + you change, don't change the larch hooks. + </li> + + <li><strong>rootoverlay/etc/inittab.larch</strong> - If this file is + present it will cause the original /etc/inittab to be saved with a + '.larchsave' suffix, and this new version will be used for the + <em>live</em> 'inittab'. This allows a special version of this file to + be used just for the <em>live</em> system, an installer + can replace it by the original during the installation process. + </li> + + <li><strong>users</strong> - It is possible to add user accounts to the + system during building. See below. + </li> + + <li><strong>skel_*</strong> (directory) - Customized '/etc/skel' substitutes + for use at build time only. See below. + </li> + + <li><strong>vetodirs</strong> - Do not use this unless you really know what + you are doing. Each directory listed in this file (one entry per line, + comment lines start with '#') will be excluded from the live system. The + directories are relative to the installation root. + </li> + + <li><strong>build-tweak</strong> - Do not use this unless you really know + what you are doing. It is a program (script) - so it must be executable - + to customize the construction of the overlay (to a certain extent). It gets + two arguments on the command line: the path to the installation being + larchified, and the (full) path to the directory in which the overlay is + being constructed. It is called just before 'mods.sqf' is squashed, but + also before users are added. + </li> + + <li><strong>nosave</strong> - The existence of this file will suppress the + generation of the file 'larch/save' on a writable medium (unless overridden + by an option to the medium generation script). It is also copied to + 'larch/nosave' on the medium (also on non-writable media), so that this + message is available later, e.g. when copying the medium. + </li> + +</ul> + +<h3><a name="users"></a>Adding user accounts</h3> + +<p> +The construction details should be provided in the 'users' file in the +profile directory. It is an 'ini'-style configuration file, the sections +being the user names. Here is an example: +<pre>[DEFAULT] +pw = +expert = +skel = +maingroup = +uid = +xgroups = video,audio,optical,storage,scanner,power,camera + +[u1] +uid = 999 +skel = + +[u2] +pw = p1 +expert = +skel = +maingroup = +uid = +xgroups = video,audio,optical,storage +</pre> +The 'DEFAULT' section is not necessary, but is generated automatically +by the gui user-table editor. Only entries which differ from the default +values need be present. +</p> +<p>The default primary group is defined by settings in '/etc/login.defs' +and '/etc/default/useradd' ('USERGROUPS_ENAB yes' in 'etc/login.defs' +causes this to be a group with the same name as the user). You can +override this by adding an 'expert' option, or by placing modified versions +of these files in the profile's 'rootoverlay' directory. +</p> +<p>The additional groups should be comma-separated and without spaces. +</p> +<p>If no 'skel'-file is specified, the default ('/etc/skel') is used, including +anything in the overlay. To use a custom 'skel'-file, place the directory +in the profile, giving it a name starting with 'skel_', and place the rest of +the name (the part after '_') in the configuration line. +</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>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>Users are added by means of 'useradd', so anything placed in the 'expert' +field should be a valid option to that command. If a user-name already exists +in the system to be larchified, it will be ignored (it does not count as +an error). +</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> |
