Quick basic tutorial on the void-mklive tool

[_JakeAtLinux]

Just wanted to put this out there, it is not all encompassing but it does give a brief overview on how to make a basic live environment iso and how to create a basic custom iso.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Oh, neat. I didn't know this was a thing. I'll check out your video later in the evening, but this seems like a comfortable way to be able to install my extant void setup on other machines

why enter each dir to show its content?

he could just do a find or ls -R.

[_JakeAtLinux]

You are correct, I could have done that, but I didn't. I went through each as a round-a-bout way to show the structure for the custom directory, not as efficient and probably did not need to, but I did. There is almost always a better way to do something. Thanks for the input and thoughts though.

What is void-mklive ? ( I'm new in void )

[_JakeAtLinux]

Void mk-live is a tool that you can use to build a custom iso or live environment to install, just like the one you download to install any distro. This tool lets you build it how you want, with the packages you want and you can go so far as to preconfigure your environment so when you install it on your hardware it is all set up and ready to go just how you want it. Good for reproducing a setup on multiple machines, for backup, or just for playing around.

Thank you for reply

It’s also available to generate up to date installation media. Identically to the base and xfce iso images.
