fsscript is a script, run after the default scripts, that makes changes |
| 6 |
to the filesystem and is run within the chroot. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
livecd/overlay is an overlay over the CD, not the filesystem within the |
| 9 |
CD. We use this for the docs and snapshot, etc on the Universal CD to |
| 10 |
get things on the outside of the loop. This is for things, like, adding |
| 11 |
a README to the root of the CD. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
livecd/root_overlay overlays the files within the chroot and the CD's |
| 14 |
filesystem. If you want to add a working configuration for a user, then |
| 15 |
you would have an overlay that looks like this: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
/home/$user/.config |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
This would copy .config to /home $user. |

This is easy. Use generic-livecd as your livecd/type (you should never |
| 24 |
use anything else since you are not building releases anyway) and make |
| 25 |
sure you have X in your USE flags for livecd-stage1, when you install |
| 26 |
livecd-tools. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If you want opengl support, then you will also need the opengl USE flag. |

You should use this if you want opengl support: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
livecd/rcadd: |
| 35 |
x-setup|default |
| 36 |
xdm|default |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Use this if you do not: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
livecd/rcadd: |
| 41 |
mkxf86config|default |
| 42 |
xdm|default |
| 43 |

Now, these will create your xorg.conf file for you. Also, if you choose |
| 47 |
to use opengl, then you will need to install the nvidia and ati drivers |
| 48 |
during your livecd-stage2 packages for your kernels. |

Bad idea. Try using the stuff I've already built and tested. =] |

I don't really understand this exactly. But anything that you want |
| 60 |
changed should be in a fsscript *unless* it is just adding files. The |
| 61 |
fsscript is just a shell script that is executed by catalyst within the |
| 62 |
chroot. |

| 67 |
|
| 68 |
To update parameters during boot, you'll need to do some work, depending |
| 69 |
on the parameters you need to adjust. I can't really help more without |
| 70 |
more information. |
