PowerPC and/or IA64 version

[Krzysztof Lichota]

Is it possable to compile a PowerPC and/or IA64 version. I know if I manually create a custome LiveCD I would use the following commands.

x86 (i386) and x86_64 (amd64)Use the following command:

$ sudo mkisofs -r -V "Custom Ubuntu Live CD" \\
                          -cache-inodes \\
                          -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \\
                          -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot \\
                          -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \\
                          -o custom-dapper-live-i386.iso extracted_cd

PowerPC
For PowerPC, it's necessary to download hfs.map:

Then build the actual ISO:

$ sudo mkisofs -o new_image.iso -chrp-boot \\
                          -U -part -hfs -T -r -l -J -A "application_id" \\
                          -sysid PPC -V "volid" -volset 4 -volset-size 1 \\
                          -volset-seqno 1 -hfs-volid "volume_name_hfs" \\
                          -hfs-bless extracted_cd/install \\
                          -map hfs.map -no-desktop -allow-multidot extracted_ppc_cd

IA64 Use the following command:

$ sudo mkisofs -r -V "Custom Ubuntu Live CD ia64" \\
                          -o custom-dapper-live-ia64.iso -no-emul-boot \\
                          -J -b boot/boot.img -c boot/boot.catalog extracted_cd

This would be a great added feature for when I visit friends who own MACs

i've committed on script-splitting branch, this feature needs testing

[Fabrizio Balliano (fabrizio-balliano)]

still needs testing but it's done, see uck-remaster-pack-iso

Usage:

# uck-remaster-pack-iso [iso-file-name.iso] [remaster-dir] [--generate-md5] [--arch=x86,x86_64,ia64,ppc]
