Funtoo:New Install Experience/LiveCD page
This tutorial explains Howto build your own LiveCD Funtoo Linux using oficial stage3. After configure the new system using CHROOT, just burn the new ISO file, using the official Área31 Hackerspace tool.
The LiveCD Funtoo Linux, basically a system recovery disk, available as a bootable DVD or USB device to administer or repair your system after an accident. Your goal is to provide an easy way to perform administrative tasks on your computer, such as repairing, creating, and editing your hard disk partitions. It comes with a lot of Open Source software such as system tools (parted, partimage, photorec, foremost, dcfldd, ddrescue, hdparm, and others) and basic tools (editors, browsers, network tools). The LiveCD can be used for both Linux, Mac OS and Windows computers, as well as desktops or servers. This LiveCD does not require installation as it can be booted from a DVD drive or USB device. The kernel supports the most commonly used file systems (ext2 / ext3 / ext4, ReiserFS, Btrfs, XFS, JFS, VFAT, NTFS via ntfs-3g) as well as network file systems (Samba and NFS) encrypted (LUKS).
It is highly recommended to create a new separate partition on your system, to store the /mnt/custom directory data
Mount /mnt/custom directory (optional)ː
root # mkdir -p /mnt/custom ; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/custom
Get and extract stage3 (64bits) from https://www.funtoo.org/Generic_64 ː
root # wget https://build.funtoo.org/1.4-release-std/x86-64bit/generic_64/stage3-latest.tar.xz -P /mnt/custom root # mkdir -p /mnt/custom/customcd/files ; tar xpf /mnt/custom/stage3-latest.tar.xz -C /mnt/custom/customcd/files
Create some directories to mount them as bind, to keep the livecd directory as clean as possible:
root # mkdir -p /mnt/custom/customcd/files/var/cache/portage /mnt/custom/portage-chroot root # mkdir -p /mnt/custom/meta-repo /mnt/custom/customcd/files/var/git root # mount -o bind /mnt/custom/portage-chroot /mnt/custom/customcd/files/var/cache/portage root # mount -o bind /mnt/custom/meta-repo/ /mnt/custom/customcd/files/var/git root # cd /mnt/custom/customcd/files/ ; mount -o bind /proc/ proc ; mount -o bind /sys sys ; mount -o rbind /dev dev
CHROOT
Configure network and use the chroot
root # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/custom/customcd/files/etc/ root # chroot /mnt/custom/customcd/files/ /bin/bash
LiveCD configuration into CHROOT
Update portage tree
root # ego sync
Configure fstab
Clear fstab:
root # echo '# Funtoo LiveCD fstab' > /etc/fstab root # echo 'tmpfs / tmpfs defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
