22 Sat quickstart

23 --------------

24 Sat is a tool in the spirit of all SliTaz tools, all commands and options are

25 accessible via: sat usage or help. To create a distro you first need to have

26 some ARM packages. You can use custom cook or the one from the SliTaz mirror.

27 Put all your custom *.tazpkg in the packages/ directory and sat will install

28 them. To use the official packages you need to sync the mirror with:

29

30 # sat mirror

31

32 Generate the distro initramfs with your custom --options:

33

34 # sat gen --flavor=base --kmap

35

36 To boot the distro with Qemu you can run:

37

38 # sat emu

41 Mirror

42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

43 Sat lets you clone the ARM cooking mirror to let you debug and try official ARM

44 packages. Sat will create a mirror directory in the working path and download

45 all lists and packages. After a first clone it will only check the repo ID

46 file and download any modified or new packages.

54 History

55 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

56 While I was porting SliTaz to ARM I ended up by creating a lot of initramfs'

57 to test the SliTaz boot, packages and so on. So I first wrote a small script,

58 then improved it by just having to put include packages in a single directory

59 and all custom files in a rootfs directory. I also wanted virtual disk support

60 so I can code under Qemu and save my work. This is how sat was born, one day

61 we may use TazLito or have a new SliTaz Live tool, but for the time being 'sat'

62 and the way it works fits all my needs to build custom distros and then boot

63 with qemu-system-arm.
