Re: [gentoo-user] how to make own version of LiveCD?
i am going to make my own version of the livecd, i read the thread on the forum, but i still have questions, is it possible to recompile it all? and then add more stuff too, and will it be possible to integrate portage into it and stuff? anothing thing, when the livecd loads, you can choose between 2 kernels, gentoo kernel, and gentoo smp kernel, would it be possible for me to have a 2.6 kernel and a 2.4 kernel? and in case, how? thanks!

RE: [gentoo-user] how to make own version of LiveCD?
Short answer: You can do just about anything you want. Its all a matter of figuring it out. i am going to make my own version of the livecd, i read the thread on the forum, but i still have questions, is it possible to recompile it all? and then add more stuff too, and will it be possible to integrate portage into it and stuff? Your going to have to realize a couple things.. First, everything that can be written, must be on ramdisk since you can't assume you will find a hard drive to write it too. The more dynamic stuff you have, the bigger the ramdisk. You will run out of memory real fast if you think your going to be able to do a emerge sync into a ramdisk. But, As I said, you can do it. anothing thing, when the livecd loads, you can choose between 2 kernels, gentoo kernel, and gentoo smp kernel, would it be possible for me to have a 2.6 kernel and a 2.4 kernel? and in case, how? I have no idea why gentoo's livecd doesn't have a bigger selection of kernels.. Thats a low amount of disk space. But thats just configuring grub, or whatever you use, to handle all the kernels before you make the iso and making sure all the kernels compile everything you need.. This all depends on what kind of live cd you want, something a bunch of computers can use, or build one for a specific pc you have.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] how to make own version of LiveCD?
Let me know how ya do it when you figure it out. I wouldn't mind being able to add some things myself.. I would think you could, I just have not actually done it since I found a different cd off freshmeat... You don't have to use the gentoo cd to install gentoo, it doesn't matter what cd you use as long as it have a recent kernel and the tools you need up to chroot. Hi all, would it be possible to make an ISO of the Gentoo LiveCD, mount this ISO in some way, add some contents to it and burn it to a CD, so that it is still bootable and I can install from it, plus have all my added tools on this CD, so that I can copy them to the new system after installation? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
