# Scripts to remaster Tiny Core Linux

Remastering [Tiny Core Linux][tinycore] allows us to create customized bootable 

Linux ISO images that provides a minimal live Linux environment for shipping 

and running software.

*Tiny Core Linux Remaster* is a set of shell scripts to automate 

[Tiny Core Linux][tinycore] remastering. These scripts demonstrate different 

methods of customizing the base [Tiny Core Linux][tinycore] ISO image:

1. Repacking [initial ramdisk][initrd] image

2. Adding and loading additional custom [initial ramdisk][initrd] image

3. Building and loading extensions

> [!NOTE]

>   

> The information in this repository is mainly taken from the free book 

> ["Into the Core: A look at Tiny Core Linux" by Lauri Kasanen et al][book].

>   

> The pertinent commands for remastering are extracted for easy reference.

>   

> Reading the book for a better understanding is encouraged.
