how to split system.sqf using larch?

insulae · 2007-06-29 22:10:49

i am using larch to put "my Arch" into a usbdrive, but larch create a big system.sqf (in my case 720MB) i want to split this system.sqf in many parts like:

/opt into opt.sqf
/usr into usr.sqf
/home into home.sqf
/etc into etc.sqf
"rest" into root.sqf

i do this manually but don't work (boot crash)

That would require several changes, in various scripts. It is also further complicated by the use of the 'base.sqf' archive, which is extracted from 'system.sqf'. You would need to look at the place(s) in 'buildlive' where the '.sqf's are built and the boot time initialization scripts (especially /etc/rc.sysinit0, but possibly also the initcpio hooks). In other words, it's probably not very easy to do.

If you really want to play around with the structure of a live USB system I would suggest having a look at the linux-live scripts first. They're probably (still) quite a lot simpler, though of course they are not designed for Arch compatibility.

thanks gradgrind, so not easy way, very sad .
I used linux-live in the past, is great but you have right is not designed for Arch.
I like so much larch to, you have a "Live Arch" in 5 steps:

1- install mklarch
2- add unlike packages to baseveto
3- add wanted packages to addedpacks
4- run mklarch -p your_profile
5- burn or install in the pendrive

for future creations you need only the step 4 and 5, Is great i like so much the Larch Automatization.

Good work gradgrind and thanks again.
