xubuntu has a casper/ directory in the iso that contains a file called filesystem.squashfs, delete their chroot, insert ours. write iso. cheat to win has drawbacks, they're using overlayfs so they're overlaying files on the filesystem somewhere so another choice of live cd to modify is probably a good idea. | xubuntu has a casper/ directory in the iso that contains a file called filesystem.squashfs, delete their chroot, insert ours. write iso. cheat to win has drawbacks, they're using overlayfs so they're overlaying files on the filesystem somewhere so another choice of live cd to modify is probably a good idea. | ||

make an undead usb from a stage 3 containing networkmanager, xfce4, x11-xorg, fchroot, slim, with auto login root terminals. setup slim to boot root so the entire undead key does not have a password. tidy up the undead key delete the stage3 tarball, delete the sources directory.
root # emerge cdrtools squashfs-tools isomaster
mount your undead usb key, but not dev sys or any of the other stuff because were going to package it with squashfs.
root # mount /dev/funtoo2 /mnt/funtoo root # mount /dev/funtoo1 /mnt/funtoo/boot
edit /mnt/funtoo/etc/fstab file system's from ext4 & vfat to auto so we can have it auto load squashfs.
root # mksquashfs /mnt/funtoo /mnt/filesystem.squashfs
using isomaster you can insert /mnt/filesystem.squashfs into an xubuntu live cd. virtualbox will boot it, real hardware will not. it probably needs eltorito.img or isolinux.bin setup to chainload grub or whatever. the idea is were inserting our chroot into another live cd's chroot location.
xubuntu has a casper/ directory in the iso that contains a file called filesystem.squashfs, delete their chroot, insert ours. write iso. cheat to win has drawbacks, they're using overlayfs so they're overlaying files on the filesystem somewhere so another choice of live cd to modify is probably a good idea.
maybe we can get our grub loading the squashed image with a command like this.
root # dd if=/mnt/filesystem.squashfs of=/dev/funtoo2
