Thank you Thierry...hope I can remember everything to do.  :P   ;D

I have my instructions, so maybe it will all fall back into place.  ;)

Just be aware now: When you produce an ISO you NEED to specify the exact kernel version you want to use now. That's because the ISOs today can have both the LTS and the latest one installed on your ISO.so you need to specify which one you want to make the initrd for. Ask me if you have any question.

Okay. Thank you!  :)

By exact, do you mean the kernel number as shown in its description? Such as 4.19.59 for the long-term kernel, and/or 5.1.18 for the latest stable kernel?

Would I add that when I call for

Code Select Expand

install-nutyx 

Such as...

Code Select Expand


KERNEL="4.19.59" \
install-nutyx

...or would I just add it to the other packages that I want installed?

Thanks Thierry!

when you are at: http://nutyx.org/en/generate-iso#18 (Generate the ISO)
instead of doing:

Code Select Expand

bash $NUTYX_TMP/scripts/mkiso

Only if the kernel install inside the future ISO is different from the one of your host machine, you will need to do:

Code Select Expand

bash $NUTYX_TMP/scripts/mkiso `basename $LFS/lib/modules/*`

it means take the version of the installed kernel inside the future ISO
