snis-live

A bootable live image based of ArchLinux x86_64 customised to run the game Space Nerds In Space. https://github.com/smcameron/space-nerds-in-space

Requirements (for building from source)

• base-devel
• archiso
• git

These can be installed via sudo pacman -S base-devel archiso git

Building

NOTE: Building the ISO requires an x86_64 pc running ArchLinux. If you do not run ArchLinux then there is this page which tells you how to create chroot enviroment. Or use the Dockerfile.

To build from source run

git clone https://github.com/HUg0005/snis-live

cd snis-live

sudo sh ./autobuild

./autobuild must be ran as root script as root (because of false permission problems later). The script will clone and build space nerds in space, then build the ISO. Once it has completed, an ISO file will have be created in the ./out directory.

Using the ISO

To use, the ISO file must be 'burnt' to a USB drive. This can be done various ways but I use dd. For an exmaple

sudo dd if=/path/to/snis.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M status=progress && sync

sdX can be found using sudo fdisk -l. It should look something along the lines of sdb.
