Syslinux

Setup

Download & compile the package of Syslinux

from ArchLinux

```
# refresh the Arch Build System
```
```
sudo abs
```
```
# create a packages repository
```
```
mkdir PKGBUILD
```
```
# copy the SysLinux bash script
```
```
cp -r /var/abs/core/syslinux PKGBUILD/
```
```
cd PKGBUILD/syslinux/
```
```
# build SysLinux
```
```
makepkg
```
```
cd
```

from GIT

```
# create a GIT repository
```
```
mkdir GIT
```
```
cd GIT
```
```
# clone the all SysLinux tree
```

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git

```
cd syslinux
```
```
# build SysLinux
```
```
make
```
```
cd
```

ISO Testbed structure

Prepare the directories tree

```
mkdir -p CD_root/isolinux
```
```
mkdir CD_root/images CD_root/kernel
```

if ArchLinux

cp PKGBUILD/syslinux/src/syslinux-4.05/core/isolinux.bin CD_root/isolinux/

cp PKGBUILD/syslinux/src/syslinux-4.05/memdisk/memdisk CD_root/kernel/

cp PKGBUILD/syslinux/src/syslinux-4.05/com32/modules/*.c32 CD_root/isolinux/

if GIT

cp GIT/syslinux/core/isolinux.bin CD_root/isolinux/

cp GIT/syslinux/memdisk/memdisk CD_root/kernel/

cp GIT/syslinux/com32/modules/*.c32 CD_root/isolinux/

Configuration

Write the configuration file

```
nano CD_root/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
```

DEFAULT dir
KBDMAP fr.ktl
TIMEOUT 0
PROMPT 1
#
LABEL dir
COM32 ls.c32

LABEL off
COMBOOT poweroff.com

LABEL core
COM32 coredts.c32

LABEL fr
COM32 kbdmap.c32
APPEND fr.ktl

LABEL us
COM32 kbdmap.c32
APPEND us.ktl

Keyboard

If required, make a French keyboard translation map

```
# translate a French keyboard
```

keytab-lilo /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.map.gz > CD_root/isolinux/fr.ktl

```
# translate an English keyboard
```

keytab-lilo /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz > CD_root/isolinux/us.ktl

Automation

Code a script to build the ISO image

```
nano buildiso.sh
```

mkisofs -o isotestbed.iso \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
CD_root

```
chmod +x buildiso.sh
```

Run the script to build the ISO image

```
./buildiso.sh
```

“

I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)

Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation

Total translation table size: 2048

Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0

Total directory bytes: 6334

Path table size(bytes): 54

Max brk space used 1f000

376 extents written (0 MB)
