1 SliTaz ARM

5 SliTaz ARM tools, files and
8 Sat howto
9 ---------
10 Sat is a toll in the spirit of all SliTaz tool, all commands and options are
11 accessible via the usage or help command. To create a distro you first need
12 to have some ARM packages. You can use custom cook the one from SliTaz mirror,
13 put them all in a packages/ directory and sat will install them. Then run
14 'sat gen' with your custom --options to build an initramfs. To boot the distro
15 with Qemu you can run: sat emu
18 History
19 -------
20 While I was porting SliTaz to ARM I ended by creating a lot of initramfs to
21 test the SliTaz boot, packages and so on. So I first wrote a small script,
22 then improved it so just have to put include packages in a single directory
23 and all custom files in a rootfs directory. I also wanted virtual disk support
24 so I can code under Qemu and save my work. This is how sat is born, one day
25 we may use TazLito or have a new SliTaz Live tool, but at the time being 'sat'
26 and the way it work feet all my needs to buils custom distro and boot then
27 with qemu-system-arm.
