2. Install

This chapter describes the creation of the OpieDev Live CD (from version 0.2.7). In principle you have to download the different parts of the CD you want, copy them into a directory and burn the dirs content to a CDs root dir.

Create (or clear) a dirctory from now on called yourLiveCDDir as a superuser, where you have space enough.

2.1 Downloads

This section provides the list of downloadable parts.

1. BASE
   this is the part, which is absolutely required. It is a gzip compressed tar archive, which contains the basic directory structure the the base module (cloop tools, the CDs root scripts, the documentation dirs and last but not least the first (BASE) cloop file (which contains e.g. the mount points fot the other cloop files)).
   http://handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/opiedev/livecd_base_0.2.7.tgz
   Size : approx. 35MByte.
   To install the tar archive, just unpack it as superuser. A tar xvfz livecd_base_0.2.7.tgz -C yourLiveCDDir should do that for you.
2. OPIE
   this contains the opie-1.0.2 source dirs (emb, ipaq, sharp precompiled versions).
   http://handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/opiedev/livecd_opie_0.2.7
   Size : approx. 110MByte. Download the cloop file the yourLiveCDDir and just rename it OPIE (uppercase).
   
3. QTE
   this contains the qte-2.3.7 source dirs (emb, ipaq, sharp precompiled versions).
   http://handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/opiedev/livecd_qte_0.2.7
   Size : approx. 65MByte. Download the cloop file the yourLiveCDDir and just rename it QTE (uppercase).
   
4. TOOLCHAIN
   this contains the hh.org 2.95.3, 3.2.3 and a 3.2.3-glibc-2.2 bootstrap arm toolchain as well as the sharp Embedix toolchain.
   http://handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/opiedev/livecd_toolchain_0.2.7
   Size : approx. 200MByte. Download the cloop file the yourLiveCDDir and just rename it TOOLCHAIN (uppercase).
   
5. KERNEL
   this contains the hh.org 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh13 arm kernel for arm and xscale.
   http://handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/opiedev/livecd_kernel_0.2.7
   Size : approx. 95MByte. Download the cloop file the yourLiveCDDir and just rename it KERNEL (uppercase).
   

2.2 Burn the CD

You now have to burn the CD. Just create an iso image with the yourLiveCDDir content in the CDs root dir. I use xcdroast for that.

2.3 Use the download dir

Alternatively, you may want to use the download dir itself as the "CDImage". In this case, you can e.g. call

/yourLiveCDDir/_mountcloop.rc /yourLiveCDDir /mnt.

This will mount all cloop-files to /mnt (yourImageMountPoint).
