Description
-----------
local mirror (strongly recommended if you plan to use grml-live more than once)
checkout mkdebmirror (see /usr/share/doc/grml-live/examples/mkdebmirror),
debmirror(1), reprepro(1) (see /usr/share/doc/grml-live/examples/reprepro/ for a
-sample configuration) and approx(8). To avoid downloading the base system again
-and again check out FAI's NFSROOT (see FAQ of this document for details).
+sample configuration), apt-cacher(1) and approx(8). To avoid downloading the
+base system again and again check out FAI's NFSROOT (see FAQ of this document
+for details).
Options
-------
+ -a **ARCHITECTURE**::
+
+Use the specified architecture instead of the currently running one. This
+allows building a 32bit system on a 64bit host (though you can't build a 64bit
+system on a 32bit system/kernel of course). Please notice that real
+crosscompiling (like building a ppc system on x86) isn't possible due to the
+nature and the need of working in a chroot. Currently supported values: i386
+and amd64.
+
+ -b::
+
+Build the ISO without updating the chroot via FAI. This option is useful for
+example when working on stable releases: if you have a working base
+system/chroot and do not want to execute any further updates (via "-u" option)
+but intend to only build the ISO.
+
+ -B::
+
+Build the ISO without touching the chroot at all. This option is useful if
+you modified anything that FAI or grml-live might adjust via grml's FAI
+scripts. It's like the '-b' option but even more advanced. Use only if you
+really know that you do not want to update the chroot.
+
-c **CLASSES**::
Specify the CLASSES to be used for building the ISO via FAI. By default only
-the classes GRMLBASE and I386 are assumed, resulting in a small base system
-(being about ~150MB total ISO size) for x86 (32bit).
+the classes GRMLBASE, GRML_SMALL and I386 are assumed, resulting in a small base
+system (being about ~150MB total ISO size). If using a non-I386 system (like
+amd64) you should specify the appropriate architecture as well. Additionally you
+can specify a class providing a grml-kernel (see
+<<classes,the 'CLASSES' section in this document>> for details about available classes).
+So instead of GRML_SMALL you can also use GRML_MEDIUM and GRML_FULL.
+
+ -C **CONFIGURATION_FILE**::
+
+The specified file is used as configuration file for grml-live. By default
+/etc/grml/grml-live.conf is used for main configuration. If a file named
+/etc/grml/grml-live.local exists it is used as well (sourced after reading
+/etc/grml/grml-live.conf to allow overriding settings). As a last option the
+specified configuration file is sourced so it is possible to override settings
+of /etc/grml/grml-live.conf as well as of /etc/grml/grml-live.local. Please
+notice that all configuration files have to be adjusted during execution of
+grml-live, so please make sure you use /etc/grml/grml-live.conf as a base for
+your own configuration file. Please also notice that the configuration file
+specified via this option is **not** (yet) supported inside the
+scripts/hooks/classes at /etc/grml/fai/config. Instead use
+/etc/grml/grml-live.conf and/or /etc/grml/grml-live.local for configuration
+stuff used inside /etc/grml/fai/config.
-F::
Force execution and do not prompt for acknowledgment of configuration.
+ -g **GRML_NAME**::
+
+Set the grml flavour name. Common usage examples: grml, grml-small, grml64.
+Please do NOT use blanks and any special characters like '/', ';' inside
+GRML_NAME, otherwise you might notice problems with booting.
+
-h::
Display short usage information and exit.
-i **ISO_NAME**::
-Specify name of ISO which will be available inside $TARGET_DIRECTORY/grml_isos
+Specify name of ISO which will be available inside $OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/grml_isos
by default.
+ -o **OUTPUT_DIRECTORY**::
+
+Main output directory of the build process of FAI. Some directories are created
+inside this target directory, being: grml_cd (where the files for creating the
+ISO are located, including the compressed squashfs file), grml_chroot (the
+chroot system) and grml_isos (where the resulting ISO is stored).
+
+ -q::
+
+Build the ISO without (re-)creating the squashfs compressed file using mksquashfs.
+This option is useful if you just want to update parts outside the chroot in the ISO.
+Consider combining this option with the build-only option '-b'.
+
-r **RELEASENAME**::
-Specify name of the release. (Notice: the output of the release name is limited
-to 30 characters.)
+Specify name of the release.
-s **SUITE**::
Specify the Debian suite you want to use for your live-system. Defaults to
-"etch" (being current Debian/stable). Supported values are: etch, lenny, sid,
-stable, testing, unstable.
+"etch" (being current Debian/stable). Supported values are: etch, lenny, sid.
- -t **TARGET_DIRECTORY**::
+ -t **TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY**::
-Main output directory of the build process of FAI. Some directories are created
-inside this target directory, being: grml_cd (where the files for creating the
-ISO are located, including the compressed squashfs file), grml_chroot (the
-chroot system) and grml_isos (where the resulting ISO is stored).
+Specify place of the templates used for building the ISO. By default
+(and if not manually specified) this is /usr/share/grml-live/templates/.
+
+ -u::
+
+Update existing chroot instead of rebuilding it from scratch. This option is
+based on the softupdate feature of FAI.
-v **VERSION_NUMBER**::
-Specify version number of the release. (Notice: the output of the version number
-is limited to 5 characters. So "1.0-1" is fine, but "1.0.0.1" will be stripped
-to "1.0.0" then.)
+Specify version number of the release.
-V::
Increase verbosity in the build process.
+ -z::
+
+Use ZLIB instead of LZMA compression in mksquashfs part of the build process.
+
Usage examples
--------------
To get a small Debian-unstable and grml-small based Live-CD using
/home/mika/grml-live as build and output directory just use:
- # grml-live -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -t /home/mika/grml-live
+ # grml-live -s sid -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -o /home/mika/grml-live
+
+To get a medium sized, Debian-unstable and grml-based Live-CD for i386
+architecture using /grml/grml-live as build and output directory just run:
+
+ # grml-live -s sid -a i386 -c GRMLBASE,GRML_MEDIUM,I386
To get a small, Debian-unstable and grml-based Live-CD using /tmp as build and
output directory and use grml_0.0-3.iso as ISO name (placed inside
/tmp/grml_isos) just invoke:
- # grml-live -t /tmp -c GRMLBASE,I386 -s sid -i grml_0.0-3.iso
+ # grml-live -o /tmp -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -s sid -i grml_0.0-3.iso
[NOTE]
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 another directory for $CHROOT_TARGET,
-$BUILD_TARGET and $ISO_TARGET if you plan to create more persistent output. :)
+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. :)
Main features of grml-live
--------------------------
The main and base class provided by grml-live is named GRMLBASE. It's strongly
recommended to **always** use the class GRMLBASE when building an ISO using
-grml-live, as well as the architecture dependend class which provides the kernel
-(being 'I386' for x86_32 currently only). The following files and directories
-are relevant for class GRMLBASE by default:
+grml-live, as well as the architecture dependent class which provides the kernel
+(being 'I386' for x86_32 and 'AMD64' for x86_64) and a GRML_* class (like
+GRML_SMALL, GRML_MEDIUM or GRML_FULL). The following files and directories are
+relevant for class GRMLBASE by default:
/etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/
/etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/GRMLBASE
If you want to use your own configuration, extend an existing configuration
and/or add additional packages to your ISO just invent a new class (or extend an
existing one). For example if you want to use your own class named "FOOBAR" just
-extend CLASSES="GRMLBASE,I386" inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf to
-CLASSES="GRMLBASE,I386,FOOBAR" or invoke grml-live using the classes option:
-"grml-live -c GRMLBASE,I386,FOOBAR ...".
+extend CLASSES="GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386" inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf to
+CLASSES="GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR" or invoke grml-live using the classes
+option: "grml-live -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR ...".
More details regarding the class concept can be found in the documentation of
FAI itself (being available at /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/).
+[[X7]]
+[[classes]]
+Available classes
+-----------------
+
+The package selection part of the classes can be found in
+/etc/grml/fai/config/package_config whereas some further classes are defined for
+example in /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/ so specific feature sets can be
+selected. The following classes are predefined:
+
+* DEBORPHAN: get rid of all packages listed in output of Deborphan
+
+* GRMLBASE: the main class responsible for getting a minimal subset of what's
+defining a grml system. Important parts of the buildprocess are specified in
+this class as well, so unless you have a really good reason you should always
+use this class.
+
+* GRML_FORENSIC: tools for forensic investigations which has been created
+by people from link:http://www.forensic-geeks.org/[forensic-geeks.org].
+
+* GRML_FULL: full featured grml, also known as the "normal", full grml.
+
+* GRML_MEDIUM: medium sized grml version, known as grml-medium
+
+* GRML_POWERPC: grml for PowerPC architecture, not supported yet (still work in
+progress)
+
+* GRML_SMALL: minimum sized grml version, known as grml-small
+
+* LATEX_CLEANUP: get rid of several very large LaTeX directories
+(like some /usr/share/doc/texlive-*, /usr/share/doc/texmf,...)
+
+* LOCALES: use full featured locales setup (see /etc/locale.gen.grml). This
+avoids to get rid of /usr/share/locale - which happens by default otherwise - as
+well.
+
+* NO_ONLINE: do not run scripts during the chroot build process which require a
+network connection
+
+* RELEASE: run some specific scripts and commands to provide the workflow for an
+official grml release
+
+* REMOVE_DOCS: get rid of documentation directories (like /usr/share/doc,
+/usr/share/man/, /usr/share/info,...)
+
+* XORG: providing important packages for use with a base grml-featured X.org
+setup
+
Files
-----
Directory with lists of software packages to be installed or removed. The
different classes describe what should find its way to your ISO. When running
-"grml-live -c GRMLBASE,I386 ..." only the files from the directories GRMLBASE
-and I386 will be taken, if you use 'grml-live -c GRMLBASE,I386,FOOBAR ...' then
-the files of GRMLBASE, I386 **plus** the files from FOOBAR will be taken. So
-just create a new class to adjust the package selection according to your needs.
-Please notice that the directory GRMLBASE contains a package list defining a
-minimum but still reasonable package configuration.
+"grml-live -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 ..." only the configuration of GRMLBASE,
+GRML_SMALL and and I386 will be taken. If you use 'grml-live -c
+GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR ...' then the files of GRMLBASE, GRML_SMALL,
+I386 **plus** the files from FOOBAR will be taken. So just create a new class to
+adjust the package selection according to your needs. Please notice that the
+directory GRMLBASE contains a package list defining a minimum but still
+reasonable package configuration.
/etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/
This directory provides the files used for building the initramfs/initrd via
live-initramfs(8).
+Available log files
+-------------------
+
+grml-live itself logs to /var/log/grml-live.log. Unless you set ZERO_LOGFILE in
+/etc/grml/grml-live.conf the output is appended to the file. If you set the
+ZERO_LOGFILE configuration option the logfile will be truncated on each new
+invocation of grml-live.
+
+The FAI part of grml-live logs to /var/log/fai/$HOSTNAME/ - so the
+default being /var/log/fai/grml/.
+
+If you are using the grml-live buildd you will find the logs of the grml-live
+run at /var/log/grml-buildd.stdout and /var/log/grml-buildd.stderr.
+
Requirements for the build system
---------------------------------
harddisk installation ships all you need]
* enough free disk space; at least 800MB are required for a minimal grml-live
-run (\~400MB for the chroot [$CHROOT_TARGET], \~150MB for the build target
-[$BUILD_TARGET] and \~150MB for the resulting ISO [$ISO_TARGET] plus some
+run (\~400MB for the chroot [$CHROOT_OUTPUT], \~150MB for the build target
+[$BUILD_OUTPUT] and \~150MB for the resulting ISO [$ISO_OUTPUT] plus some
temporary files), if you plan to use GRML_FULL you should have at least 4GB of
total free disk space
* fast network access for retreiving the Debian packages used for creating the
chroot (check out "local mirror" and "NFSROOT" to workaround this problem as far
-as possiblbe)
+as possible)

+Current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+To make it easier to track problems this section documents current state of
+grml-live playing together with squashfs-tools / squashfs-lzma-tools (for
+building the compressed file) and the kernel version. Documentation of this
+section is up2date by 02nd of december 2008, please report any bugs you
+encounter.
+

+
+Using squashfs-lzma-tools 3.3-1 on the build system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+squashfs-lzma-tools from the grml repository supports kernel 2.6.26-grml[64]
+(version >=grml.05) using both lzma and zlib (-nolzma) compression. It's the
+recommended package for building ISOs with grml-live currently!
+
+The packages can be downloaded from
+link:http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/s/squashfs-lzma/[http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/s/squashfs-lzma/].
+
+[NOTE]
+Please use squashfs-lzma-tools 3.3-1 if you want to remaster release 2008.11 of grml.
+
+Using squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7 on the build system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7 is available via Debian/unstable and Debian/testing
+(lenny) pool running:
+
+ # aptitude install squashfs-tools=1:3.3-7
+
+or directly via downloading the files
+http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_i386.deb (for x86) or
+http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_amd64.deb (for amd64) [both build
+on and for Debian/etch but working with testing and unstable as well].
+
+Please notice that squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7 does NOT support LZMA compression
+at all (so you won't be able to remaster release 2008.11 for example). The
+-nolzma option of mksquashfs is not available therefore (even though
+grml-live will deactivate it for you automatically anyway). Please use
+squashfs-lzma-tools instead.
+
+* Kernel 2.6.23-grml: does NOT work, please use squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1
+ instead if you still want to use kernel 2.6.23
+* Kernel 2.6.26-grml: works (without LZMA compression of course!)
+
+Using squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1 on the build system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1 is available via the grml-testing repository,
+running:
+
+ # aptitude install squashfs-tools=1:3.2r2-9exp1
+
+or directly via downloading the files
+http://grml.org/squashfs/squashfs-tools_3.2r2-9exp1_i386.deb (for x86) or

+
+Versions with ZLIB compression (SQUASHFS_OPTIONS='-nolzma' or -z
+option in grml-live cmdline):
+
+* Kernel 2.6.23-grml: works
+* Kernel 2.6.26-grml: works
+
+Versions with LZMA compression:
+
+* Kernel 2.6.23-grml: works
+* Kernel 2.6.26-grml: does NOT work, please use zlib mode instead or switch
+ to Debian package squashfs-lzma-tools (see section above).
