7 grml-live - build framework based on FAI for generating a grml and Debian based
8 Linux Live system (CD/ISO)
13 grml-live [-a <architecture>] [-c <classe[s]>] [-C <configfile>] [-g
14 <grml_name>] [-i <iso_name> ] [-o <output_directory>] [-r <release_name>] [-s
15 <suite>] [-t <template_directory>] [-v <version_number>] [-bFhuVz]
17 CAUTION: Please check out <<current_state,the 'Current state of grml-live with
18 squashfs-tools and kernel' section>> for details about current state of involved
19 tools before starting with grml-live or if you encounter any problems.
24 grml-live provides the build system for creating a grml and Debian based Linux
25 Live-CD. The build system is based on
26 link:http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/[FAI] (Fully Automatic
27 Installation). grml-live uses the "fai dirinstall" feature to generate a chroot
28 system based on the class concept of FAI (see later sections for further
29 details) and provides the framework to be able to generate a full-featured ISO.
30 It does not use all the FAI features by default though and you don't have to
31 know FAI to be able to use it.
33 The use of FAI gives you the flexibility to choose the packages you would like
34 to include on your very own Linux Live-CD without having to deal with all the
35 details of a build process.
37 CAUTION: grml-live does **not** use /etc/fai for configuration but instead
38 provides and uses /etc/grml/fai. This ensures that it does not clash with
39 default FAI configuration and packages, so you can use grml-live and FAI
40 completely independent at the same time!
44 Please notice that you should have a fast network connection as all the Debian
45 packages will be downloaded and installed via network. If you want to use a
46 local mirror (strongly recommended if you plan to use grml-live more than once)
47 checkout mkdebmirror (see /usr/share/doc/grml-live/examples/mkdebmirror),
48 debmirror(1), reprepro(1) (see /usr/share/doc/grml-live/examples/reprepro/ for a
49 sample configuration), apt-cacher(1) and approx(8). To avoid downloading the
50 base system again and again check out FAI's NFSROOT (see FAQ of this document
58 Use the specified architecture instead of the currently running one. This
59 allows building a 32bit system on a 64bit host (though you can't build a 64bit
60 system on a 32bit system/kernel of course). Please notice that real
61 crosscompiling (like building a ppc system on x86) isn't possible due to the
62 nature and the need of working in a chroot. Currently supported values: i386
67 Build the ISO without updating the chroot via FAI. This option is useful for
68 example when working on stable releases: if you have a working base
69 system/chroot and do not want to execute any further updates (via "-u" option)
70 but intend to only build the ISO.
74 Specify the CLASSES to be used for building the ISO via FAI. By default only
75 the classes GRMLBASE, GRML_SMALL and I386 are assumed, resulting in a small base
76 system (being about ~150MB total ISO size). If using a non-I386 system (like
77 amd64) you should specify the appropriate architecture as well. Additionally you
78 can specify a class providing a grml-kernel (see
79 <<classes,the 'CLASSES' section in this document>> for details about available classes).
80 So instead of GRML_SMALL you can also use GRML_MEDIUM and GRML_FULL.
82 -C **CONFIGURATION_FILE**::
84 The specified file is used as configuration file for grml-live. By default
85 /etc/grml/grml-live.conf is used for main configuration. If a file named
86 /etc/grml/grml-live.local exists it is used as well (sourced after reading
87 /etc/grml/grml-live.conf to allow overriding settings). As a last option the
88 specified configuration file is sourced so it is possible to override settings
89 of /etc/grml/grml-live.conf as well as of /etc/grml/grml-live.local. Please
90 notice that all configuration files have to be adjusted during execution of
91 grml-live, so please make sure you use /etc/grml/grml-live.conf as a base for
92 your own configuration file. Please also notice that the configuration file
93 specified via this option is **not** (yet) supported inside the
94 scripts/hooks/classes at /etc/grml/fai/config. Instead use
95 /etc/grml/grml-live.conf and/or /etc/grml/grml-live.local for configuration
96 stuff used inside /etc/grml/fai/config.
100 Force execution and do not prompt for acknowledgment of configuration.
104 Set the grml flavour name. Common usage examples: grml, grml-small, grml64.
105 Please do NOT use blanks and any special characters like '/', ';' inside
106 GRML_NAME, otherwise you might notice problems with booting.
110 Display short usage information and exit.
114 Specify name of ISO which will be available inside $OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/grml_isos
117 -o **OUTPUT_DIRECTORY**::
119 Main output directory of the build process of FAI. Some directories are created
120 inside this target directory, being: grml_cd (where the files for creating the
121 ISO are located, including the compressed squashfs file), grml_chroot (the
122 chroot system) and grml_isos (where the resulting ISO is stored).
126 Specify name of the release.
130 Specify the Debian suite you want to use for your live-system. Defaults to
131 "etch" (being current Debian/stable). Supported values are: etch, lenny, sid.
133 -t **TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY**::
135 Specify place of the templates used for building the ISO. By default
136 (and if not manually specified) this is /usr/share/grml-live/templates/.
140 Update existing chroot instead of rebuilding it from scratch. This option is
141 based on the softupdate feature of FAI.
143 -v **VERSION_NUMBER**::
145 Specify version number of the release.
149 Increase verbosity in the build process.
153 Use ZLIB instead of LZMA compression in mksquashfs part of the build process.
158 To get a small, Debian-stable and grml-based Live-CD using /grml/grml-live
159 as build and output directory just run:
163 To get a small Debian-unstable and grml-small based Live-CD using
164 /home/mika/grml-live as build and output directory just use:
166 # grml-live -s sid -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -o /home/mika/grml-live
168 To get a medium sized, Debian-unstable and grml-based Live-CD for i386
169 architecture using /grml/grml-live as build and output directory just run:
171 # grml-live -s sid -a i386 -c GRMLBASE,GRML_MEDIUM,I386
173 To get a small, Debian-unstable and grml-based Live-CD using /tmp as build and
174 output directory and use grml_0.0-3.iso as ISO name (placed inside
175 /tmp/grml_isos) just invoke:
177 # grml-live -o /tmp -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -s sid -i grml_0.0-3.iso
181 If you have about 700MB of free space inside /dev/shm (being a tmpfs, usually
182 you should have >=1GB of RAM) just run "mount -o remount,suid,dev,rw /dev/shm"
183 and use /dev/shm as build and output directory - resulting in very fast build
184 process. But please be aware of the fact that rebooting your system will result
185 in an empty /dev/shm, so please use another directory for $CHROOT_OUTPUT,
186 $BUILD_OUTPUT and $ISO_OUTPUT if you plan to create more persistent output. :)
188 Main features of grml-live
189 --------------------------
191 * create a grml-/Debian-based Linux Live-CD with one single command
193 * class based concept, providing a maximum of flexibility
195 * supports integration of own hooks, scripts and configuration
197 * supports use and integration of own Software and/or Kernels via simple use of
200 * native support of FAI features
202 * multi-arch support (work in progress)
207 grml-live uses FAI and its class based concept for adjusting configuration and
208 setup according to your needs. This gives you flexibility and strength without
209 losing the simplicity in the build process.
211 The main and base class provided by grml-live is named GRMLBASE. It's strongly
212 recommended to **always** use the class GRMLBASE when building an ISO using
213 grml-live, as well as the architecture dependent class which provides the kernel
214 (being 'I386' for x86_32 and 'AMD64' for x86_64) and a GRML_* class (like
215 GRML_SMALL, GRML_MEDIUM or GRML_FULL). The following files and directories are
216 relevant for class GRMLBASE by default:
218 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/
219 /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/GRMLBASE
220 /etc/grml/fai/config/class/GRMLBASE.var
221 /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE
222 /etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/GRMLBASE
224 Take a look at the next section for information about the concept of those
227 If you want to use your own configuration, extend an existing configuration
228 and/or add additional packages to your ISO just invent a new class (or extend an
229 existing one). For example if you want to use your own class named "FOOBAR" just
230 extend CLASSES="GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386" inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf to
231 CLASSES="GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR" or invoke grml-live using the classes
232 option: "grml-live -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR ...".
234 More details regarding the class concept can be found in the documentation of
235 FAI itself (being available at /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/).
242 The package selection part of the classes can be found in
243 /etc/grml/fai/config/package_config whereas some further classes are defined for
244 example in /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/ so specific feature sets can be
245 selected. The following classes are predefined:
247 * DEBORPHAN: get rid of all packages listed in output of Deborphan
249 * GRMLBASE: the main class responsible for getting a minimal subset of what's
250 defining a grml system. Important parts of the buildprocess are specified in
251 this class as well, so unless you have a really good reason you should always
254 * GRML_FORENSIC: tools for forensic investigations which has been created
255 by people from link:http://www.forensic-geeks.org/[forensic-geeks.org].
257 * GRML_FULL: full featured grml, also known as the "normal", full grml.
259 * GRML_MEDIUM: medium sized grml version, known as grml-medium
261 * GRML_POWERPC: grml for PowerPC architecture, not supported yet (still work in
264 * GRML_SMALL: minimum sized grml version, known as grml-small
266 * LATEX_CLEANUP: get rid of several very large LaTeX directories
267 (like some /usr/share/doc/texlive-*, /usr/share/doc/texmf,...)
269 * LOCALES: use full featured locales setup (see /etc/locale.gen.grml). This
270 avoids to get rid of /usr/share/locale - which happens by default otherwise - as
273 * NO_ONLINE: do not run scripts during the chroot build process which require a
276 * RELEASE: run some specific scripts and commands to provide the workflow for an
277 official grml release
279 * REMOVE_DOCS: get rid of documentation directories (like /usr/share/doc,
280 /usr/share/man/, /usr/share/info,...)
282 * XORG: providing important packages for use with a base grml-featured X.org
288 Notice that grml-live ships FAI configuration files that do not use the same
289 namespace as the FAI packages itself. This ensures that grml-live does not clash
290 with your usual FAI configuration, so instead of /etc/fai/fai.conf (package
291 fai-client) grml uses /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf instead. For more details see
292 below. To get an idea how another configuration or example files could look like
293 check out /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple/ (provided by Debian package
294 fai-doc). Furthermore /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/fai-guide.html/ch-config.html
295 provides documentation regarding configuration possibilities.
299 Script for the main build process. Requires root permissions for execution.
301 /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
303 Main configuration file for grml-live. All the important steps can be configured
306 /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf
308 Main configuration file for FAI which specifies where all the configuration
309 files and scripts for FAI/grml-live can be found. By default it is set to
310 FAI_CONFIGDIR=/etc/grml/fai/config, a directory shipped by grml-live
311 out-of-the-box so you shouldn't have to configure anything in this file.
313 /etc/grml/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
315 This file is used by make-fai-nfsroot(8) only. Usually you don't have to change
316 anything inside this file. If you want to modify NFSROOT though you can adjust
319 /etc/grml/fai/NFSROOT
321 This file specifies the package list for creating the NFSROOT.
323 /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list
325 This file specifies which mirrors should be used for retreiving the Debian
326 packages used for creating the main chroot (including all the software you would
327 like to see included). If you want to use a local mirror you either have to
328 adjust this file or use the GRML_LIVE_SOURCES variable inside
329 /etc/grml/grml-live.conf which modifies /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list
332 /etc/grml/fai/config/
334 The main directory for configuration of FAI/grml-live. More details below.
336 /etc/grml/fai/config/class/
338 This directory contains files which specify main configuration variables for the
341 /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/
343 This directory provides the files for preseeding/configuration of debconf
346 /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/
348 This directory provides files for customising the build process through hooks.
349 Hooks are user defined programs or scripts, which are called during the
350 installation process.
352 /etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/
354 Directory with lists of software packages to be installed or removed. The
355 different classes describe what should find its way to your ISO. When running
356 "grml-live -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 ..." only the configuration of GRMLBASE,
357 GRML_SMALL and and I386 will be taken. If you use 'grml-live -c
358 GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR ...' then the files of GRMLBASE, GRML_SMALL,
359 I386 **plus** the files from FOOBAR will be taken. So just create a new class to
360 adjust the package selection according to your needs. Please notice that the
361 directory GRMLBASE contains a package list defining a minimum but still
362 reasonable package configuration.
364 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/
366 Scripts for customising the ISO within the build process.
370 This directory provides files used inside the scripts of
371 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/*. For a full documentation what happens with the
372 files please refer to the source of the scripts.
374 /etc/grml/fai/live-initramfs/
376 This directory provides the files used for building the initramfs/initrd via
382 grml-live itself logs to /var/log/grml-live.log. Unless you set ZERO_LOGFILE in
383 /etc/grml/grml-live.conf the output is appended to the file. If you set the
384 ZERO_LOGFILE configuration option the logfile will be truncated on each new
385 invocation of grml-live.
387 The FAI part of grml-live logs to /var/log/fai/$HOSTNAME/ - so the
388 default being /var/log/fai/grml/.
390 If you are using the grml-live buildd you will find the logs of the grml-live
391 run at /var/log/grml-buildd.stdout and /var/log/grml-buildd.stderr.
393 Requirements for the build system
394 ---------------------------------
396 * any Debian based system should be sufficient (if not it's a bug, so please
397 send us a bug report then) [a usual link:http://grml.org/grml2hd/[grml2hd]
398 harddisk installation ships all you need]
400 * enough free disk space; at least 800MB are required for a minimal grml-live
401 run (\~400MB for the chroot [$CHROOT_OUTPUT], \~150MB for the build target
402 [$BUILD_OUTPUT] and \~150MB for the resulting ISO [$ISO_OUTPUT] plus some
403 temporary files), if you plan to use GRML_FULL you should have at least 4GB of
404 total free disk space
406 * fast network access for retreiving the Debian packages used for creating the
407 chroot (check out "local mirror" and "NFSROOT" to workaround this problem as far
410 For further information see next section.
414 Current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel
415 ---------------------------------------------------------
417 To make it easier to track problems this section documents current state of
418 grml-live playing together with squashfs-tools / squashfs-lzma-tools (for
419 building the compressed file) and the kernel version. Documentation of this
420 section is up2date by 27th of september 2008.
425 * grml-live, version 0.9.4
427 * building grml-medium (Debian/unstable)
429 * software versions used in the ISO (being installed automatically, recorded
430 just as a reference):
432 ii busybox 1:1.10.2-2 Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems
433 ii initramfs-tools 0.92f.grml01 tools for generating an initramfs
434 ii klibc-utils 1.5.12-2 small utilities built with klibc for early boot
435 ii live-initramfs 1.139.1-2grml.01 Debian Live initramfs hook
436 ii lvm2 2.02.39-2 The Linux Logical Volume Manager
437 ii mdadm 2.6.7-3.1 tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID)
438 ii udev 0.125-6grml0 /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
440 Using squashfs-lzma-tools 3.3-1 on the build system
441 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
443 squashfs-lzma-tools from the grml repository supports kernel 2.6.26-grml
444 (version >=grml.05) using both lzma and zlib (-nolzma) compression. It's the
445 recommended package for building ISOs with grml-live currently.
447 Using squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7 on the build system
448 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
450 squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7 is available via Debian/unstable and Debian/testing
451 (lenny) pool running:
453 # aptitude install squashfs-tools=1:3.3-7
455 or directly via downloading the files
456 http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_i386.deb (for x86) or
457 http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_amd64.deb (for amd64) [both build
458 on and for Debian/etch but working with testing and unstable as well].
460 Please notice that squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7 does NOT support LZMA compression at
461 all. The -nolzma option of mksquashfs is not available therefore (even
462 though grml-live will deactivate it for you automatically anyway). Please
463 use squashfs-lzma-tools instead.
465 * Kernel 2.6.23-grml: does NOT work, please use squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1
466 instead if you still want to use kernel 2.6.23
467 * Kernel 2.6.26-grml: works
469 Using squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1 on the build system
470 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
472 squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1 is available via the grml-testing repository,
475 # aptitude install squashfs-tools=1:3.2r2-9exp1
477 or directly via downloading the files
478 http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.2r2-9exp1_i386.deb (for x86) or
479 http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.2r2-9exp1_amd64.deb (for amd64).
481 Versions with ZLIB compression (SQUASHFS_OPTIONS='-nolzma' or -z
482 option in grml-live cmdline):
484 * Kernel 2.6.23-grml: works
485 * Kernel 2.6.26-grml: works
487 Versions with LZMA compression:
489 * Kernel 2.6.23-grml: works
490 * Kernel 2.6.26-grml: does NOT work, please use zlib mode instead or switch
491 to Debian package squashfs-lzma-tools (see section above).
496 Help, I'm using Debian etch and I don't have FAI version >3.2

507 I've problems with the build process. How to start debugging?
508 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
510 Check out the logs inside /var/log/fai/... If you don't have the time to debug
511 the problem in further detail or don't know how to proceed just send a copy of
512 your config, logs and the commandline with a short problem description to
515 # history | grep grml-live > /etc/grml/grml_live.cmdline
516 # tar zcf grml_live_problem.tar.gz /etc/grml/grml-live.conf \
517 /etc/grml/grml-buildd.conf /var/log/fai /etc/grml/fai
519 Can I use my own (local) Debian mirror?
520 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
522 Sure. Just adjust the variables GRML_LIVE_SOURCES and FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP (if not
523 already using NFSROOT's base.tgz) inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf according to
524 your needs. Please don't forget that you should use the grml servers as well
525 (see default configuration) so all the grml packages can be downloaded as well.
527 If you want to use a local (for example NFS mount) mirror additionally, just
528 adjust MIRROR_DIRECTORY and MIRROR_SOURCES inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf as
531 Unless you specify GRML_LIVE_SOURCES and/or FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP the default from
532 /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and /etc/grml/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf will be
533 taken. If you customise the variables in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf then the two
534 files will be adjusted during runtime automatically.
536 If MIRROR_DIRECTORY and MIRROR_SOURCES are specified the local mirror will be
537 taken as first entry in the generated sources.list so it's prefered over
538 non-local mirrors. Using a fallback mirror (via providing several mirrors in
539 GRML_LIVE_SOURCES as used by default) is a recommended setting.
541 How do I add additional Debian package(s) to my CD/ISO?
542 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
544 Just create a new class (using the package_config directory):
546 # cat > /etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/MIKA << EOF
550 another_name_of_a_debian_package
554 and specify it when invoking grml-live then:
556 # grml-live -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,MIKA
558 I fscked up my grml-live configuration. How do I reset it to the defaults?
559 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
561 Notice: this deletes all your grml-live configuration files. If that's really
562 what you are searching for just run:
564 rm -rf /etc/grml/fai /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
565 dpkg -i --force-confnew --force-confmiss /path/to/grml-live_..._all.deb
569 If you don't control your /etc using a version control system (VCS) yet it's a
570 good chance to start using it now. Check out
571 link:http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2007/03/14/maintain-etc-with-mercurial-on-debian/[http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2007/03/14/maintain-etc-with-mercurial-on-debian/]
572 for more details how to maintain /etc using the mercurial VCS.
574 How do I create a base.tgz for use as NFSROOT?
575 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
577 First of all build the chroot system:
579 mkdir /tmp/nfsroot && cd /tmp/nfsroot
580 debootstrap etch /tmp/nfsroot/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
583 Then check out where your NFSROOT is located:
585 # grep '^NFSROOT' /etc/grml/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
586 NFSROOT=/grml/fai/nfsroot
588 So as /grml/fai/nfsroot is your NFSROOT place the file under
589 /grml/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/var/tmp/:
591 mv base.tgz /grml/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/var/tmp/base.tgz
593 or even better use /etc/grml/fai/config/basefiles/$CLASSNAME.tar.gz instead.
