live USB system for flashing #45

Open merge opened 6 years ago

What'd be nice to have is a live USB system with

persistent (home) for including the Skulls files ( easy )
have flashrom installed ( https://www.flashrom.org/Live_CD )
boots Linux with iomem=relaxed boot option ( I guess we'd need to build one ourselves...)

If you have experience with creating live iso images, please help. Actually, adding flashrom (+dependencies) to https://github.com/ivandavidov/minimal would be enough...

The MX Linux live CD (debian stable) comes with a remaster tool. You may just boot, adapt as needed and save the system to a new live cd image. https://mxlinux.org/wiki/help-files/help-mx-remaster/

@merge We could make a custom Alpine iso. just need to add flashrom and you can also add iomem=relaxed to the kernel_cmdline part https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/How_to_make_a_custom_ISO_image_with_mkimage

Is this related to:

create a live USB Linux for flashing including Skulls, flashrom and iomem=relaxed ( https://github.com/ivandavidov/minimal )

...and if "yes", is there a plan to work on it in 2020? Thank you.
