Description
-A::
-Clean up output directories before attempting the build. Packs the chroot
-into a tar archive, and removes chroot and ISO build directories before exiting.
+Clean up all output directories before running the build process. After finishing,
+clean up the Chroot target and Build target directories.
-a **ARCHITECTURE**::
directory. This directory is what's being referred to as ${GRML_FAI_CONFIG}
throughout this documentation.
+ -e **EXTRACT_ISO_NAME**::
+
+The squashfs inside the specified ISO will be extracted and used as the chroot.
+This option is useful for remastering, in combination with -A and -b or -u.
+
-F::
Force execution and do not prompt for acknowledgment of configuration.
Specify place of the templates used for building the ISO. By default
(and if not manually specified) this is /usr/share/grml-live/templates/.
- -T **CHROOT_ARCHIVE**::
-
-Unpack chroot tar archive before starting. Most useful in combination with
--A and -b or -u.
-
-u::
Update existing chroot instead of rebuilding it from scratch. This option is
[NOTE]
-If you have enough free space inside /dev/shm (being a tmpfs, usually you should
-have >=1GB of RAM) just run "mount -o remount,suid,dev,rw /dev/shm" and use
-/dev/shm as build and output directory - resulting in very fast build process.
-But please be aware of the fact that rebooting your system will result in an
-empty /dev/shm, so please use another directory for $CHROOT_OUTPUT,
-$BUILD_OUTPUT and $ISO_OUTPUT if you plan to create more persistent output. :)
+If you have enough RAM, just run "mount -t tmpfs none /mnt/ramdisk" to get a
+tmpfs ("RAMDISK"), and use /mnt/ramdisk as build and output directory - this
+results in a very fast build process. Note that these files will be gone when
+rebooting.
