What is LACK?

LACK stands for Linux Appliance Construction Kit. LACK is a set of scripts written in Perl and Bash that will take an existing Linux installation, and build minimized "packages" that can then be used on "embedded-style" systems, i.e. systems that boot off of CD-ROM/USB/Network, and run completely in RAM.

Other LACK-related Projects

  • Main Project
    • Contains scripts to be used with the initramfs image, tools scripts, sample config files from /etc, sample dialog menu scripts, and sample config files for use with the web server thttpd.
  • Documentation
  • Projects (This project)
    • Sample projects that are used with LACK; these projects should "always" build
  • Recipes
    • Recipes are lists of files, formatted to be used with the gen_init_cpio binary that's built inside the Linux kernel whenever you build a Linux kernel. gen_init_cpio is used to build initramfs images, the RAM disk that Linux loads into memory after the kernel itself finishes initializing.
