################################################################## # 2020/06/03 - PsychOS486 0.1.6:7 - Playing around with Crux 2.1 # ################################################################## I took a look at the GNU/Linux distribution called 'Crux 2.1' today and noticed that its setup script simply installed everything within the "/crux" directory. It's a bunch of pqckagename#1.2.3-4.pkg.tar.gz files within folders that correspond to the type of install such as 'base' and 'contrib.' The kernel seems to compile from source. The programs that are available to run while Live do not seem to be hidden at all and can be easily, assuming, changed using 'ISO Master.' If it where possible to create something using 'Crux 2.1' under 650MB, I could maybe come up with an "extras" option using the .tar.gz backup/restore idea of root. [A little while later...] I messed around with 'Crux 2.1' and edited and replaced files within "/boot/isolinux" to try to get a custom boot menu and options. I'm trying to get a background image, but no luck so far. Been playing around with the "/etc/issue" and "/etc/motd" as well as "/root/.bashrc." [0.1.7] So what I did was use 'sudo mount ucrux-2.1.iso PsychOS486' and then copied the contents to another folder, unmounted the "PsychOS486," directory, and then deleted that folder and renamed the one with the copied contents to "PsychOS486." I then made edits and used: cd PsychOS486 sudo genisoimage -o ../PsychOS486.iso -V "PsychOS486" -b 'boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin' -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -J -r -c 'boot/isolinux/isolinux.boot' . ...to create a bootable ISO. However, the isolinux.bin, isolinux.boot, and vesamenu.c32 came from 'Porteus.'
