Welcome to the Knoppix 64 / 64bit / AMD64 / EM64T / Knoppix64 LiveCD

preamble

• PLEASE if anyone knows where to find the patches for the knoppix kernel please send me an email: jupiterproject at gmail dot com, thanks!
• In Development by SNIa 05:05, 10 Jul 2006 (GMT)
• Using the Debian Net-inst CD as a base, still very alpha.

Variables

#!/bin/bash

SOURCEDIR=/mnt/hda1/source/KNOPPIX64
MASTERDIR=/mnt/hda1/master/KNOPPIX64
ARCH=amd64
DEBIAN_RELEASE=sarge
DEBIAN_MIRROR=http://amd64.debian.net/debian-pure64/

Set Up the Environment

mkdir -p ${SOURCEDIR}
mkdir -p ${MASTERDIR}

DeBootstrap

debootstrap --arch ${ARCH} ${DEBIAN_RELEASE} ${SOURCEDIR} ${DEBIAN_MIRROR}
cp /etc/resolv.conf ${SOURCEDIR}/etc/.

Now Chroot and set up environment

chroot ${SOURCEDIR} \
   /usr/bin/env -i \
  HOME=/root \
  TERM=$TERM \
  PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
  PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
  /bin/bash --login

mount proc -t proc proc

cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV generic

#ensure /etc/apt/sources.list is setup correclty

Custom Kernel

1. Download the latest stable 2.6 kernel
2. Extract
3. Configure
4. Make, make modules, make modules_install
5. Set up kernel
6. Some notes found here http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21145

tar -xjf /path/to/linux-2.X.YY.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.X.YY linux
cd linux
cp /boot/config-2.6.11 .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make
make modules
make modules_install
cd include
ln -s asm-i386 asm
cd ..
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.X.YY
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.X.YY
cp .config /boot/config-2.X.YY
cd /boot
rm config System.map vmlinuz
ln -s config-2.X.YY config
ln -s System.map-2.X.YY System.map
ln -s vmlinuz-2.X.YY vmlinuz

Compressed Filesystem

Choose either cloop or squashfs

cloop

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloop
  • Found here http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/sources/cloop_2.04-1.tar.gz
  • Support on cloop seems to be scattered? No home page? No listing on freshmeat?

make KERNEL_DIR=path to kernel

SquashFS

• squashfs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS (may be using squashfs)
• http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63835
• HOWTO http://www.artemio.net/projects/linuxdoc/squashfs/SquashFS-HOWTO.html

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.17
patch -p1 < ../squashfs3.0/linux-2.6.15/squashfs3.0-patch
make menuconfig

select File systems, misc file systems, select squashfs as built in module.

make
make modules
make modules_install

unionfs module

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unionfs
• http://www.filesystems.org/project-unionfs.html

TO DO

• Custom Kernel
• cloop module
• unionfs module
• Make a custom minirt.gz file
• (compared from Debootstrap to LiveCD) Install Custom Kernel Configuration (now 64 bit)
