################################################################ # 2020/05/03 - PsychOS486 0.0.9:0.1.2 - Porteus and Clonezilla # ################################################################ [0.0.9] I tried using the 'make_iso.sh' script from Porteus and it failed; however, I think it is because it is meant to be ran from a Live ISO. I may be able to add it to Slackware 14.1 installation ISO and run it instead of running 'setup'. However, even if that works, I can only add a little bit of software at a time. [Update 2020/05/04]: Turns out that even though there were errors while creating the ISO, it did actually make one in the home directory. However, it was 5.6GB in size. So, I'm trying another idea and that is to use Clonezilla to create a backup image of the Slackware partition to another hard drive and then turn that into an ISO that can "self-restore," aka make installable. [0.1.0] The Clonezilla idea didn't work. I tried booting much older i486 versions and they wouldn't run on my laptop and so I tried the newest version of Clonezilla, made an image and made an ISO, but that ISO required an i586 (according to QEMU) and just using regular 'qemu-system-i386...' and the default Clonezilla option didn't do anything. I think it is going to do that no matter what because of using a newer machine. I guess I'm back to the TinyCore + Slackware 14.1 (for building i486 binaries with sbopkg) idea. The interesting plus-side of Clonezilla is that it comes with FreeDOS, so that's cool and I'm wondering if that could be of some sort of future use if I ever make a "PsychDOS." [0.1.1 - 0.1.2] I tried adding 'xfce4-whiskermenu' tgz package directly to the slackware/xfce directory within the Slackware 14.1 install version and the newer ISO (using ISO Master) wouldn't boot at all. I also tried creating a directory as /psychos486 within the Slackware 14.1 install version and adding 'make_iso.sh' from Porteus and it wouldn't boot either.
