This file contains notes about considerations for developing a live CD
for UQM.
Information on creating boot CD's:
- http://www.geocities.com/potato.geo/bootlinuxcd.html
- man mkisofs
- http://linuxfromscratch.org/~jhuntwork/livecd/
- http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/
Desirable features:
- Both Linux native mode (when booting directly from the CD),
an MS Windows autorun. And perhaps even MacOS boot.
- install from the CD (for Windows)
- Support saving
- Needed software:
- boot loader
syslinux: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/
- init (simpleinit?)
- libc (including libpthread) (uClibc)?
- libSDL
- libSDL_image
- libpng (needed for libSDL_image)
- libvorbisfile
- libvorbis (for libvorbisfile)
- libogg (for libvorbis)
- libmikmod
- libm (for libvorbis)
- libz (for zipped content)
- syslogd+klogd?
Some audio library:
- libasound (prefered)
Some graphics output: one of
- x11 (larger than necessary)
- nanox
- fbcon (may be the best solution)
- directfb
- svgalib (directly accesses the VGA card. No acceleration support)
(may be the most portable)
Having hardware acceleration support may be useful.
For basic debugging:
- sulogin
- sash or busybox (minimal features)
For hardware detection:
- udev
- ...
- Other needed files:
- boot scripts
- /etc/ld.so.conf
- ...
- Sources
Sources must be provided in some way (check the licenses of the
dependencies).
- Warranty disclaimer on boot
For saving:
- USB memory stick and other memory devices
- Windows hard drive (where to put the files?)
- Linux hard drive (where to put the files?)
- Floppies? Probably not worth it.
Tools for testing before burning:
- vmware
- QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/)
