The goal of MiniOS is to provide users with a reliable user-friendly portable system with a graphical interface.
These scripts build a bootable MiniOS ISO image.
Using minios-live, you can build:
Debian 9, 10, 11, 12 with Fluxbox environment (analogous to Slax).
Debian 9, 10, 11, 12, Testing, Unstable, Kali Linux and Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 with Xfce4 environment.
To build, you need to change the parameters in the linux-live/buildconfig file to build the required option, then start the build: ./install -
It is advisable to use Debian 12 or Ubuntu 22.04 for build, since in this system you can build MiniOS based on Debian 9,10,11,12 and Unbuntu 20.04, 22.04. If you have a different system installed, use docker.
For installation use install - script for guided installation, autoinstall - script for automatic installation.
Never run scripts from linux-live folder! They will break your system.
Supported commands: setup_host build_bootstrap build_chroot build_live build_modules build_iso
setup_host - installing packages required for building on the host
build_bootstrap - install a minimal system using debootstrap
build_chroot - installation of the rest of the components required to start the system
build_live - build squashfs image
build_modules_chroot - building modules
build_iso - build the final ISO image
Syntax: ./install [start_cmd] [-] [end_cmd]
- launch from start_cmd to end_cmd
- if start_cmd is omitted, all commands are executed starting from the first
- if end_cmd is omitted, all commands up to the last are executed
- enter one command to run a specific command
- enter '-' as the only argument to run all commands
Examples: ./install -
./install build_bootstrap - build_chroot
./install - build_chroot
./install build_bootstrap -
./install build_iso
If you want to just build the system from the beginning just edit linux-live/buildconfig and run ./install -
To build with docker, create a build folder in your home folder, put minios-live there, cd to docker folder and run 01-runme.sh. This action will install the required programs and create an image. To start the build, edit for yourself and run 02-build.sh. Sample file content:
docker run --rm -it --name mlc --privileged -v /home/user/build:/build local/mlc install -
or you can use the minios-live/batch-build script by editing the necessary parameters for yourself instead of 02-runme.sh.
