Planning outline for OCLUG live USB distro
Livedistro Plan 2017
Date: 17-3-4 John C. Nash
Goals:
- Unordered List Item“boot anywhere” – legacy/UEFI, 32/64, non-pae
- customizable
- remasterable
- installable
- documented, both for “product” and how it has been built
Base ideas:
We have a preliminary liveUSB/iso that is
- Arch based
- boots UEFI or legacy
- 32 or 64 bit, and boots on non-pae processor
- This also boots in VirtualBox VM
- can run startx to come up in openbox (manual start)
- very minimal
Tasks:
A goal is to have these “bite sized” if possible
* Graphical interface
- openbox configuration
- openbox add-ons such as
- tint2 - system panel and task bar
- conky - system monitor and information center
- nitrogen - for backgrounds
- some documentation on install and configuration for above
* Customizing the system
- pacman installs
- recommended and necessary tools
- how to remove/reduce to keep things tight
- checking and verifying system
- documentation of the above
* Remastering
- getting a new live image from running virtual system
- Are there choices we need to address?
- Testing image in virtual environment
- packaging image onto USB or other media
- appropriate boot mechanisms in place
- Installer script
- optional inclusion on the image
- how to adjust / test
