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/)
