    114114 
    115115It is possible to burn a customized version of the official Linux From 
    116 Scratch LiveCD, with your own files added. To do that, follow the 
    117 instructions in the /root/lfscd-remastering-howto.txt file. 
     116Scratch LiveCD, with changed default boot parameters and/or your own files 
     117added. 
     118 
     119To change the default boot arguments, follow these steps as root. 
     120 
     121 * Create directories: 
     122 
     123        export WORK=/mnt/lfslivecd 
     124        mkdir -p $WORK/{orig,copy} 
     125         
     126 * Copy all files except root.ext2 from the original image: 
     127 
     128        mount -t iso9660 -o loop lfslivecd-[version].iso $WORK/orig 
     129        cp -a $WORK/orig/*/ $WORK/copy/ 
     130        umount $WORK/orig 
     131         
     132 * Copy the compressed root.ext2 file without uncompressing it: 
     133 
     134        mount -t iso9660 -o loop,norock lfslivecd-[version].iso $WORK/orig 
     135        cp $WORK/orig/root.ext2 $WORK/copy/ 
     136        chmod 644 $WORK/copy/root.ext2 
     137        umount $WORK/orig 
     138         
     139 * Edit the boot loader configuration: 
     140 
     141        # Append new kernel options to the "append" lines 
     142        vim $WORK/copy/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg 
     143         
     144 * Create the new LiveCD image: 
     145 
     146        mkisofs -z -R -l --allow-leading-dots -D -o \ 
     147            lfslivecd-[version]-custom.iso -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \ 
     148            -c boot/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ 
     149            -V "lfslivecd-[version]" $WORK/copy 
     150 
     151[NOTE] 
     152You cannot change the volume label of the customized CD (i.e., the 
     153argument to the "-V" option) this way. The "-nosrc" suffix is not part of 
     154the volume label and should be left out, but "-min" should be preserved. 
     155 
     156To add or remove files, follow the instructions in the 
     157/root/lfscd-remastering-howto.txt file instead.

    165 BRAILLE DISPLAY SUPPORT 
    166 ----------------------- 
     205ACCESSIBILITY 
     206------------- 
     207 
     208The Live CD includes software (BRLTTY and speakup) that make the contents 
     209of the Linux text console accessible to visually-impaired users. This 
     210software is not started by default, and special boot parameters (documented 
     211below) are needed in order to use it. 
     212 
     213Unfortunately, the boot loader expects the parameters to be entered with 
     214US English keyboard layout, which is not familiar to non-US users, and they 
     215cannot see their mistakes. Thus, it is recommended for such users to 
     216customize default boot parameters of the CD as described above instead of 
     217trying to type them at the boot prompt. 
     218 
     219### BRAILLE DISPLAY SUPPORT ###

    168221The LiveCD includes the "brltty" program that allows a blind person to read

     99additional packages you want. Modify other files as necessary. If you want 
     100to compile a new kernel, please include the following options:

    101108Generate initramfs images for your CD by running the create-initramfs command 
    102109for each kernel. This command accepts the following parameters: the LiveCD 
    103110version, the kernel version, and the name of the initramfs file to create. 
     111For self-compiled kernels, the list of directories to search for modules is not 
     112accurate, and you can either ignore "no such file" errors (if you feel lucky) 
     113or edit the /usr/bin/create-initramfs script. For the default LiveCD kernel, 
     114the shipped script should just work.
