CREATE A LINUX LIVE CD FROM SCRATCH

Posted on 16-09-2021 by admin

Note: The LiveCD is no longer being maintained. However, it still works well for
many purposes, such as a rescue disk. The packages and the rendered LFS book on
the CD are quite out of date.
The LiveCD cannot be used to build LFS 7.0 or later.


CREATE LINUX LIVE CD

You can boot the CD and use it to fix errors on your local system if it crashes.
This means you can successfully use it as a rescue CD. Linux From Scratch used
to have its own official live CD. But it doesn’t work with LFS 7.0 and above
anymore. Good thing is that we have a new project that provides you LFS 8.0 in a
live disk. Meet LFS LiveCD. Jun 13, 2009 In order to make the CD as small as
possible, we use squashfs. Squashfs is a read-only compressed file system. It’s
used in many of the mainstream linux distributions on their live cds. The
problem is, it is just that, Read-Only. Booting our live CD with this will be
pretty pointless as we won’t be able to make any changes to the filesystem.

A LiveCD is a CD that is able to boot your system into a 'live', working
operating system, independent of anything on your hard drive. It's a little
different than an installation CD, which boots your system into a program that
will guide you through the installation of some system onto your hard drive.
With a LiveCD, you have an entire system contained on the CD and with that, the
freedom to do nearly anything that a system installed on your hard drive can.

The LFS LiveCD is geared specifically toward providing a reliable host system
for the purpose of building Linux From Scratch. Therefore, it may not be what
you would envision as a 'perfect' Linux system. It should, however, provide you
with a comfortable enough environment so that you can, in turn, build your own
'perfect' system.

For a more detailed description of the current version of the LiveCD read the
documentation.


WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE THE LFS LIVECD?

It provides a known good host for building LFS
At times, Linux distros are built in such a way that make it difficult to
successfully build LFS using that distro as a host. Their releases may even
contain bugs that are really only exposed with heavy compiling, as is done when
building LFS. The LiveCD has been tested thoroughly and is known to successfully
build the current version of LFS without deviation.

Removes the LFS prerequisite of having a Linux distro installed on your system
To build LFS, you need to have a host Linux system with development tools. In
this case, the LiveCD is the host system. This allows you to build LFS onto a
completely blank machine, if you so desire.


LINUX LIVE CD DOWNLOAD

Doubles as a rescue CD
Having a LiveCD close at hand can be a life saver if your system breaks or
suddenly refuses to boot. You can boot the CD, fix the error on your local
system, reboot, and voila!

Includes all sources and the LFS Book
This spares you from having to download all the packages individually, which can
be quite time consuming. It also removes the need for a working internet
connection.
