TazLito is the LiveCD creation utility in SliTaz GNU/Linux.
Syntax:
tazlito [command] [list|iso|flavor] [dir]
Possible keywords for command:
usage
Displays a summary of available commands
e.g., # tazlito usage
stats
Displays the configuration variables, the paths to the various files and directories, and information on the ISO image
e.g., # tazlito stats
gen-config
Allows you to generate a configuration file ready to be edited
e.g., # tazlito gen-config
configure
Configures the system configuration file or one found in the current directory
e.g., # tazlito configure
gen-iso
Can generate a new LiveCD image
e.g., # tazlito gen-iso
gen-initiso
Does the same work as 'gen-iso', but it rebuilds the initramfs compressed system
e.g., # tazlito gen-initiso
list-flavors
Downloads and displays a list of the different flavors available
e.g., # tazlito list-flavors
get-flavor
Downloads (if necessary) and prepares the files for 'gen-distro' to generate a flavor
e.g., # tazlito get-flavor particular-flavor
show-flavor
Displays the description of the flavor and its size after regeneration
e.g., # tazlito show-flavor particular-flavor
gen-flavor
Creates a description file of a new flavor from the results of generating a distro (gen-distro)
e.g. # tazlito gen-flavor new-flavor
gen-liveflavor
Creates a description file of a new flavor from the results of generating a distro based on the current system
e.g., # tazlito gen-liveflavor
extract-distro
Extract an ISO image from the LiveCD to rebuild the structure of the root cdrom and system
e.g., # tazlito extract-distro slitaz-cooking.iso
gen-distro
Generate the distro-tree and an ISO image via a list of packages
e.g., # tazlito gen-distro
clean-distro
Removes all files generated or extracts of the structure of the LiveCD
e.g., # tazlito clean-distro
addhacker
Allows the addition of the user hacker to the distribution
e.g., # tazlito addhacker
check-distro
Verifies if files installed by the packages are present on the system
e.g., # tazlito check-distro
emu-iso
Uses the QEMU emulator to start and run SliTaz
e.g., # tazlito emu-iso
burn-iso
Guesses the cdrom device and its speed, and wodim (part of cdrkit) will begin to burn an ISO image
e.g., # tazlito burn-iso
Performs the following operations:
Check Root
Verify Root CD
Generate LiveCD ISOLinux
Distro Stats
Performs the following operations:
Check Root
Verify Root CD
Generate initramfs
Generate LiveCD ISOLinux
Distro Stats
Check to ensure UID is zero (i.e., TazLito was run by root or root sudoer).
Looks for the existence of an etc. directory in the root file system directory. N.B., this does not do any further checking to ensure anything is actually in the directory. However, if TazLito is used for all LiveCD creation operations (that is, one does not create/modify the directories used by TazLito) the directories existence implies it is populated properly.
Looks for the existence of a boot directory in the root CD directory. N.B., this does not do any further checking to ensure anything is actually in the directory. However, if TazLito is used for all LiveCD creation operations (that is, one does not create/modify the directories used by TazLito) the directories existence implies it is populated properly.
- Executes scripts for packages altering the root file system
- Hard links redundant files in the root filesystem to save space
- Runs cpio to create the initramfs, compressing with lzma or gzip (or no compression)
