| pankso@35 | 8 Installation |
| pankso@35 | 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| pankso@35 | 10 To install 'sat' and 'spi' you must have make installed: |
| pankso@35 | 11 |
| pankso@35 | 12 # make install |
| pankso@35 | 13 |
| pankso@35 | 14 |
| pankso@35 | 15 rootfs/ directory |
| pankso@35 | 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| pankso@35 | 17 Custom SliTaz ARM scripts and files used to generate a distro. These files |
| pankso@35 | 18 and any other system file can be erased or added via the flavors support. The |
| pankso@35 | 19 rootfs files can also be directly modified before generating a new distro. |

| pankso@35 | 22 Sat quickstart |
| pankso@35 | 23 -------------- |
| pankso@10 | 24 Sat is a tool in the spirit of all SliTaz tools, all commands and options are |
| pankso@10 | 25 accessible via: sat usage or help. To create a distro you first need to have |
| pankso@24 | 26 some ARM packages. You can use custom cook or the one from the SliTaz mirror. |
| pankso@24 | 27 Put all your custom *.tazpkg in the packages/ directory and sat will install |
| pankso@24 | 28 them. To use the official packages you need to sync the mirror with: |
| pankso@10 | 29 |
| pankso@24 | 30 # sat mirror |
| pankso@24 | 31 |
| pankso@24 | 32 Generate the distro initramfs with your custom --options: |
| pankso@24 | 33 |
| pankso@24 | 34 # sat gen --flavor=base --kmap |
| pankso@10 | 35 |
| pankso@10 | 36 To boot the distro with Qemu you can run: |
| pankso@10 | 37 |
| pankso@10 | 38 # sat emu |
| pankso@10 | 39 |
| pankso@24 | 40 |
| pankso@24 | 41 Mirror |
| pankso@35 | 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| pankso@24 | 43 Sat lets you clone the ARM cooking mirror to let you debug and try official ARM |
| paul@17 | 44 packages. Sat will create a mirror directory in the working path and download |
| paul@17 | 45 all lists and packages. After a first clone it will only check the repo ID |
| paul@17 | 46 file and download any modified or new packages. |

| pankso@0 | 54 History |
| pankso@35 | 55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| paul@17 | 56 While I was porting SliTaz to ARM I ended up by creating a lot of initramfs' |
| paul@17 | 57 to test the SliTaz boot, packages and so on. So I first wrote a small script, |
| paul@17 | 58 then improved it by just having to put include packages in a single directory |
| pankso@2 | 59 and all custom files in a rootfs directory. I also wanted virtual disk support |
| paul@17 | 60 so I can code under Qemu and save my work. This is how sat was born, one day |
| paul@17 | 61 we may use TazLito or have a new SliTaz Live tool, but for the time being 'sat' |
| paul@17 | 62 and the way it works fits all my needs to build custom distros and then boot |
| pankso@2 | 63 with qemu-system-arm. |
