Building a rootfs

• Create the directory for storing your rootfs data. This could be a loop mounted dir, or just a plain directory. For e.g:

  mkdir /destination/

• Install the baselayout (contains the basics of the filesystem)

  pisi it --ignore-comar baselayout.pisi -D /destination

• Install all the pisis you need (replace abcd.pisi with yours)

  pisi it --ignore-comar abcd.pisi -D /destination

• Next we need to configure the rootfs. For this, we need to first setup some requirements:

  mount --bind /proc /destination/proc

• Configure the package

  pisi cp baselayout.pyp

  pisi cp

• Generate a squashfs

  mksquashfs destination myimage.img -noappend -comp gzip -ef /tmp/lkj
