from now on create_livestick.* will create pure installer
sticks. (TODO: cosmetics. rename to create_installstick)
- syslinux/vesamenu is pain with some boards. syslinux 4.x is even more pain
- now we provide images which have the shiny menu/live thingie. make image.
- initramfs/init: FILE=xxx is not needed anymore. images have two ext4 partitions
side note: be very careful when adding features to installer / installer scripts,
BIG FAT WARNING:
this requires sudo at build-time. may not work with
auto-builds. check your etc/sudoers
BIG FAT WARNING:
this is a work in progress. use only if you know what you are doing.
When using syslinux and C32 modules it's important to use the C32 modules build with the same syslinux. This patch ensures that we use the host OS's vesamenu.c32, rather than the one shipped in the tarball.
On Linux when a block device ends with a number (like my SD card device: **/dev/mmcblk0**) the first partition is called **/dev/mmcblk0p1** (with an added **p**). This snippet makes sure that the correct partition name is used in both cases.
