[Chester LUG] Help required with a bootable linux ISO

[Ben Arnold]

I'd imagine the micro ones like Puppy or Slax if you can add to the root filesystem as you build the ISO, rather than having to create a package and add it to a build list to get included.

The first one that jumps to my mind is SliTaz, which you can just unpack the root filesystem, add arbitary files then re-pack it, before making the ISO.

Be warned though that a few years ago when I used it, I found that some binaries/scripts needed altering because it's so barebones that uses BusyBox and not the full Gnu tools (things like cp had some ever-so slightly different flags!) but that may not be a problem of the update thing if it's an executable?


Hope the first para helps if the rest doesn't!
