Procedure to create one's own images #291

Open retokid opened 8 years ago

retokid commented 8 years ago

It's a small detail, but the procedure to create one's own images on the web site mentions: _With a regular Linux desktop computer that has kpartx and mksquashfs

(http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot/adding_custom_distributions#adding_your_own_custom_operating_systems_to_the_menu)

kpartx is the package name, for mksquashfs it seems to be squashfs-tools, maybe it would be helpful to indicate the package name.

Problem is that the exact package name depends on which Linux distribution you use, and is not universal.

hello, i dont know where to ask but ill try here. anyone did experimenting with adding custom OS to berryboot? i want convert LibreELEC for my Pi2 but i cant go pass this command sudo sed -i 's/^\/dev\/mmcblk/#\0/g' /mnt/etc/fstab it say "

sed: can't read /mnt/etc/fstab: No such file or directory" BUT

if i delete "/mnt" so its

sed -i 's/^\/dev\/mmcblk/#\0/g' /etc/fstab

its going ok but finished img file have 4kb size so something is wrong :( I doing it on virtual box with ubuntu 14 and 16 32/64bit but no luck. Im not very experienced with linux i can only fallow step by step tutorials :) thanks!
