Subject of Hint: How to create a Bootable Live CD/DVD from your Linux 
 From Scratch (LFS) build

Good day from Singapore,

I am Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, based in Singapore.

I have recently *successfully* created my own custom Linux distribution 
called Teo En Ming Linux 2020.03 (FINAL), which is based on
Linux From Scratch 20200302-systemd book and Linux Kernel 5.5.7, on 12 
March 2020.

You may refer to my redundant blog posts for the announcement.

Jimmy Anderson's guide/hint was written on 20 Jan 2013, which is more 
than 7 years ago. Today is 14 March 2020 Saturday. Therefore, his guide 
is definitely outdated
and needs some tweaking to adapt to the *latest* LFS system at the time 
of this writing.

Jimmy Anderson's guide/hint was verified with LFS version 7.2. I have 
made *extensive* modifications to his guide/hint to work with my LFS 
20200302-systemd build.

You can download Teo En Ming Linux 2020.03 (FINAL) Bootable Live CD/DVD 
ISOs from the following github.com link.

Link: 
https://github.com/teo-en-ming/teo-en-ming-linux/blob/master/iso%20download%20links.txt

Note: Please note that my Live CD/DVD boots with a Kernel Panic. I hope 
that Linux experts will be able to download my ISO, examine its contents 
and find out what's wrong.
I would like to thank all of you in advance for your kind assistance and 
advise.

build
into your own Live CD/DVD.

SYNOPSIS: How to create a bootable Live CD/DVD from your LFS build.

DESCRIPTION:

    This hint describes how to create a live CD/DVD from your LFS build.  
The
resulting live CD/DVD can be used as an LFS/CLFS build host or for 
whatever
purpose you desire.

    Briefly, you will build your LFS system and a "squashed" version
of it will be created.   A busybox based ramdisk will be created
which sets up a union mount (either aufs or unionfs) of the squashed
LFS system with a ram based file system and then the system will be
started with the union filesystem as root.

    unionfs and aufs are not part of the standard kernel code.   To build
a live cd/dvd you must patch your kernel to add support for one or the 
other.
This hint will still work without aufs or unionfs support but the result
will not be a live CD/DVD but instead be a bootable CD/DVD (useful but
with lesser ability than a live cd/dvd). Teo En Ming *did not* patch 
Linux kernel 5.5.7
to add support for aufs or unionfs filesystems because he did not have 
the knowledge to tweak
the patches.

    The original hint was verified with LFS 7.2 x86 (32 and 64 bit).  It 
may
(likely will) work with other LFS versions also but it only was
specifically tested with 7.2 and you are on your own to work out how
to make it work with other LFS versions. Teo En Ming has modifed this 
guide/hint to allow it
to work with the latest LFS 20200302-systemd development book.

    A description of each step and cut and paste for that
step is provided.  Cut and pasting should make it easier to build a live 
cd/dvd
but it is important that you understand what the purpose of each step
is.  Blindly cutting and pasting from this hint will probably not
result in success.

    Following this hint, like doing pretty much anything in LFS, has the
potential of damaging your system.   Before you begin, make sure
you've saved a copy of any data that is important to you.  It's also 
suggested
to follow this procedure on a system that is used only by you so that 
any
errors will not affect others.


ATTACHMENTS:
None

PREREQUISITES:

This hint assumes the reader is familiar with Linux From Scratch (LFS).

Much of this hint assumes that the LFS variable is properly set. So,
when following this hint, at all times make sure LFS is set properly:

export LFS=/mnt/lfs   (or as needed for your setup)


HINT:

Step 1) Download additional needed packages.

    This step is done on the HOST (not in LFS chroot).

    You will need some additional packages.   Download the squashfs 
tools,
busybox and syslinux.   The squashfs tools will be needed on the host.


#------------ Cut and Paste start
cd /home/teo-en-ming/Downloads
wget -4 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/squashfs/files/squashfs/squashfs4.4/squashfs4.4.tar.gz/download
wget -4 https://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.31.1.tar.bz2
wget -4 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-4.06.tar.xz
#------------ Cut and Paste end

    Additionally, the addendum of this hint contains a script that is
required for the live cd/dvd.   Save the addendum of this hint as:

$LFS/sources/init.sh

    Note: You can skip the aufs/unionfs kernel patch altogether if a
more simple bootable CD/DVD is adequate for your needs.


Step 2) Add squashfs tools to your host.   (Do this on your HOST)

Teo En Ming's host operating system is Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Desktop 
Edition.

    If you are running a host distribution which provides prepackaged
squashfs tools, you may be able to use them.   However they must be
at least version 4.1 to work properly with this hint.

    It is recommended however, that you build squashfs tools 4.4 from
the source. This hint was tested with squashfs tools 4.4 and better
(xz) compression is obtained with 4.4 (compared with 4.1).  To build the
squashfs tools do:

#------------ Cut and Paste start
cd /home/teo-en-ming/Downloads
tar xvfz squashfs4.4.tar.gz
cd squashfs4.4/squashfs-tools
Edit Makefile as follows:
XZ_SUPPORT = 1
COMP_DEFAULT = xz
sudo apt install liblzma-dev
make
sudo make install
mksquashfs -version
#------------ Cut and Paste end

The version string displayed should be 4.4.   If not, you may need to
adjust your PATH so that $HOME/bin appears first in it.

If you are on a single user system, or if no other version of
squashfs tools exists, squashfs tools could be installed in /usr/bin
or /usr/local/bin rather than $HOME/bin.

If the lzma libraries are not installed, the build of squashfs-tools
will fail.   To resolve it, either install the lzma libraries or
rebuild squashfs without xz support.   squashfs (and this hint) can 
operate
properly without xz support but without xz support, the resulting
live CD/DVD iso size will be somewhat larger.


Step 3) Build your LFS system and kernel.

    Follow the instructions in the LFS/BLFS book and build your LFS 
system
as you normally would.

When you configure the kernel, make sure the following are enabled
as builtins (not as modules):

    SQUASHFS support (and support for SQUASHFS XZ compressed file 
systems).
    UNIONFS or AUFS support (Teo En Ming *did not* patch Linux Kernel 
5.5.7 for AUFS or UNIONFS support).
    CDROM support (ISO9660).
    DEVTMPFS support.

    Then build and install as normal:
#------------ Cut and Paste start
make
make modules_install
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage 
/boot/vmlinuz-5.5.7-turritopsis.dohrnii.teo.en.ming
cp .config /boot/config-5.5.7
#------------ Cut and Paste end


    Additionally, /etc/fstab needs some tweaks for a live cd/dvd.
Edit /etc/fstab and comment out all hard drive mounts.
But leave the virtual filesystem mounts (/proc and such) in it:
#------------ Cut and Paste start
# Teo En Ming's favorite text editor in Linux is nano.
nano /etc/fstab
>> comment out any hard drive mounts <<
#------------ Cut and Paste end

    Build and configure the remainder of your LFS system as normal.


Step 4) Build busybox in your LFS.

    While inside the chroot environment add busybox to your
    LFS system:

ERROR compiling busybox with glibc-2.31: "sys-apps/busybox-1.31.1 fails 
to compile with sys-devel/glibc-2.31"

#------------ Cut and Paste end


Step 5) Create ramdisk.

Do this step from inside the LFS chroot environment.   This step
creates a busybox based ramdisk.   The ramdisk does the work of
creating and mounting the union filesystem and switching to it
for the root file system.

#------------ Cut and Paste start
cd /sources

popd
gzip -9 initramfs.cpio
rm -rf mnt_init
mv initramfs.cpio.gz /boot/initram.fs
mv id_label /boot
#------------ Cut and Paste end


Step 6) Make a squashed version of your LFS.

    This step should be done on the HOST (not inside chroot).

    Do any needed cleanup and final tweaking of your LFS system prior to
continuing.  Strip any binaries you want stripped, remove any build 
cruft,
remove $LFS/tools, etc.   Add any additional data that you would like
to be present on the live CD/DVD, etc.  A base LFS system (without 
source) turns into only
a 267 megabyte (or thereabouts) size iso, so there should be plenty of
space available for extras.

    Exit the chroot and unmount any filesystems that are associated with
the $LFS directory.   At this point, it is a good idea to do a system
shutdown and restart to ensure that the LFS directory is unused and
in a quiescent state.   Make sure LFS is set again after the reboot.


#------------ Cut and Paste start
# Set LFS value as needed...
export LFS=/mnt/lfs
cd /home/teo-en-ming
echo $LFS
rm -f root.sfs
sudo mksquashfs $LFS root.sfs -comp xz
#------------ Cut and Paste end

(omit the -comp xz if your squashfs tools don't support xz compression).


Step 7) Add syslinux and create CD/DVD image.

This step should be done on the HOST (not inside chroot).

Setup the isolinux configuration file:

#------------ Cut and Paste start
cd /home/teo-en-ming

cat > isolinux.cfg << EOF
DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE Select an option...
TIMEOUT 300

LABEL live
     MENU LABEL ^Boot Teo En Ming Linux 2020.03 (FINAL) Live CD/DVD 
($(uname -m))
     MENU DEFAULT
     KERNEL /boot/$(uname -m)/vmlinuz
     APPEND initrd=/boot/$(uname -m)/initram.fs quiet

LABEL busybox
     MENU LABEL ^Boot busybox ($(uname -m))
     KERNEL /boot/$(uname -m)/vmlinuz
     APPEND initrd=/boot/$(uname -m)/initram.fs quiet busybox

LABEL harddisk
     MENU LABEL Boot from first ^Hard disk
     LOCALBOOT 0x80

EOF
#------------ Cut and Paste end

Package the isolinux bootloader, squashed rootfs and ramdisk
into a subdirectory:

#------------ Cut and Paste start
tar xf syslinux-4.06.tar.xz
rm -rf live
mkdir -p live/boot/{isolinux,$(uname -m)}
cp -v syslinux-4.06/core/isolinux.bin live/boot/isolinux
cp -v syslinux-4.06/com32/menu/menu.c32 live/boot/isolinux
mv -v /home/teo-en-ming/isolinux.cfg                 live/boot/isolinux

cp -v /home/teo-en-ming/root.sfs live/boot/$(uname -m)
cp -v $LFS/boot/vmlinuz-5.5.7-turritopsis.dohrnii.teo.en.ming   
live/boot/$(uname -m)/vmlinuz
cp -v $LFS/boot/id_label live/boot/$(uname -m)
cp -v $LFS/boot/initram.fs live/boot/$(uname -m)/initram.fs

#------------ Cut and Paste end

Create the live CD/DVD iso image using whatever iso creation tool you
have.   In this example, it is 'genisoimage':

#------------ Cut and Paste start
genisoimage -o teo-en-ming-linux-2020.03-final-live-cd-dvd.iso     \
         -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \
         -c boot.cat                   \
         -no-emul-boot                 \
         -boot-load-size 4             \
         -boot-info-table              \
         -joliet -l -R                 \
         live

rm -rf live ### OPTIONAL
#------------ Cut and Paste end

Step 8) Burn and boot.

Burn the iso using whatever cd/dvd writing tools you prefer.
Teo En Ming uses k3b. Reboot the
system with the CD/DVD inserted and it should boot into your live 
CD/DVD.

Step 9) Usage

The CD/DVD boot menu allows you to boot busybox or the live cd/dvd.   
Busybox
may be useful if debugging or experimenting is needed.

You can use the live cd/dvd to inject your LFS image onto the target 
computer (
rather than rebuilding from scratch..)   First, mount
/dev/cdrom somewhere.   In the boot subdirectory in the cd image, you 
will
find the root.sfs file.   root.sfs is your LFS system in a squashed 
format.
To install it into the target, either use the unsquashfs tools to
uncompress it onto the target computer system or loop mount the root.sfs
file and then use tar or some other directory copy tool to inject
it into the target computer.
