[RELEASE] NVIDIA ION optimized XBMC Live 9.11 Live CD / Live USB version

erhnam Wrote:No I didn't change anything to the boot process. The only thing I changed is the runXBMC bootscript. I added some stuff with apt-get to the environment. It's not so hard but here you go!

A short howto:

Code:

#mount livecd
mkdir /tmp/livecd
sudo mount -o loop xbmc-live-9.11-b1.iso /tmp/livecd

#copy livecd
mkdir ~/livecd
mkdir ~/livecd/cd
rsync --exclude=/live/filesystem.squashfs -a /tmp/livecd/ ~/livecd/cd

#create squashfs temp
mkdir ~/livecd/edit
cd ~/livecd
cp /tmp/livecd/live/filesystem.squashfs .

#unpack the squashfs filesystem
sudo unsquashfs filesystem.squashfs

#chroot the squashfs
sudo chroot squashfs-root/
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
export HOME=/root
export LC_ALL=C

#change things
you are now in the minimal environment. Add/change stuff, do everything you like! Continue with the next section when ready.

#cleanup and unmount
apt-get clean
rm -rf /tmp/* ~/.bash_history
umount /proc
umount /sys
umount /dev/pts
exit

#repackage the filesystem
sudo mksquashfs squashfs-root/ filesystem.squashfs

#copy the filesystem back to the livecd
cp filesystem.squashfs ~/livecd/cd/live

#regenerate md5sum.txt
cd ~/livecd/cd
rm md5sum.txt
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | grep -v isolinux/boot.cat | tee md5sum.txt

#create iso
sudo pico ~/livecd/cd/README.diskdefines
cd ~/livecd/cd
sudo mkisofs -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V "$IMAGE_NAME" -cache-inodes -r -J -l -o ../custom.iso .

#unmount livecd
sudo umount /tmp/livecd
sudo rm -rf /tmp/livecd

At the moment I'm working on something else. I want to integrate boxee into the xbmc 9.11 livecd. Maybe create a dual-boot.

A much better approach would be to use debian-live: http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/

hi,

so i can do this steps and my configured xbmc on hdd is at last on the cd-iso

But this custom build says it includes proftpd.

you did great job. don´t stop working on the next projeckt. I hope you can build the next live cd for ion asrock with the new release of xbmc live.

I would love a Live CD that boots and installs both XBMC and BOXEE!!!! THank you for this live CD with ion drivers working great!

Does this have the HDMI-audio and USB-Wake fixes applied?

HDMI audio seems to be working just fine with this version on my Aspire Revo
Not sure about USB wake, I don't use that.

Now when are we going to get an updated version of this now that Camelot is out?

I have not tested this version, nice that you make your own version.
However i have allready seen posts in the support forums asking
for support on this xbmcfreak build. This is not an official xbmc product
and not supported by team XBMC.

You should state this clearly in your post.

@The-Boxhead, I think it's fairly clear that it's not an official release; I'm just hoping these comments don't discourage the authors from continuing their work.

@Edwin - You have HDMI audio working good in the generic 9.11 XBMC Live; or this special ION version?

Thank you!

Just this special ION version.
