Minimal Linux Live CD version: Minimal Linux Live

Linux Live is a series of Linux kernel and BusyBox-based Automatic Generation of linux shell scripts for the most streamlined Live Linux system. All required source code has been automatically downloaded, and all generation operations have been completely encapsulated in the script.

If you want to customize your most streamlined Linux Live ISO image file, you need to do the following:

• Obtain the latest script from the download area.

• Decompress the script to a folder.

• Make sure all scripts can be executed. (You can use the command chmod + x *. sh to add executable attributes)

• Before starting the generation process, it depends on the Linux system you are using. One or more dependent libraries may not be required or need more. if you use Ubuntu, the following command should be sufficient to generate all required dependent libraries:

1. Sudo apt-get install wget
2. Sudo apt-get install make
3. Sudo apt-get install gcc
4. Sudo apt-get install bc
5. Sudo apt-get install syslinux
6. Sudo apt-get install genisoimage

• Execute the script build_minimal_linux_live.sh and wait until it is completed. If you have processed all the dependent libraries, the entire process on a modern computer should take no more than 30 minutes. If the generation fails for some reason, the most likely reason is that the dependency library is not properly processed. Some users reflect that the required package will handle unknown generation dependencies on all ubuntu instances. If you are using Linux Mint and are trying to install the g ++ package, if you still encounter many problems, you can try to install the necessary package. On the Fedora system, you may need to install the glibc-static package.

  Please remember that all the dependent libraries generated will change greatly because the Linux operating system you are using is different from the installed software.

  If the problem persists, check the failure information and search for it on google. If you cannot find a solution, you can ask more experienced linux experts (if you know) or contact us for another option. Make sure you have studied this issue before sending it to us.

• When the script completes their work, you will find a newly created minimal_linux_live.iso file in the same directory where the script is executed. You can burn an iso image to a CD/DVD, install it on a USB flash device using the Universal USB Installer tool, or run it directly on a PC virtual machine, such as VirtualBox.

The generated ISO image file includes the Linux kernel compiled with the default option, BusyBox compiled with the default option, and very lightweight initramfs. This means that you do not need to find a new way to get windows support or use any fancy desktop environment. All you need is a shell console that supports BusyBox applets, and ...... Okay. That's enough. This is why it is called "most streamlined ".

The best message is that not only is the operating system very small and simple, but the script generation is also small and exquisite. You can easily learn from scripts and modify them to include more content (I encourage you to do so ). after learning these basics, you will have all the necessary tools and skills to create your own fully functional linux OS! Starting from scratch! Is it handsome !? :)

This tutorial provides more detailed script internal structure and all generation processes. I encourage you to read this document if you have time.

Below you will see some screens that show the environment when you start your next-generation Minimal Linux Live operating system.
