RLSD, the Retro Linux-libre Software Distribution, is a small, "live" operating

system with GNU/Linux-libre (http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/), for the x86 and

x86_64 architectures.

RLSD consists of free software: software that respects the user's freedom. RLSD

is free to study, modify and share. To read more about free software, see

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.

For more information, see the project homepage (http://rlsd2.dimakrasner.com/).

This is an automated build system that builds RLSD and its entire package

repository from source, through Trisquel (http://www.trisquel.info/). The

process of setting up a build environment is automated as well.

Building

========

To build RLSD:

  - Install QEMU (http://www.qemu.org/) and Packer (https://www.packer.io/)

  - Set up the build environment in a VM:

      cd packer/; packer build packer-x86_64.json

    or:

      cd packer/; packer build packer-x86.json

  - Start the VM:

      qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -hda x86_64/rlsd.qcow2 -enable-kvm

    or:

      qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium2 -m 4096 -hda x86/rlsd.qcow2 -enable-kvm

  - Inside it:

      cd rlsd; ./scripts/build_all
