| 3 | ## Getting the base ISO |
| 4 | |
| 5 | This script assumes that you are starting with the special ISO from the |
| 6 | following URL. It already contains video files that the script in this repo |
| 7 | will not try to download. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | <https://cdbuilds.trisquel.org/fsf/trisquel_11.0-fsf_amd64.iso> |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The corresponding source code tar can be found here: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | <https://cdbuilds.trisquel.org/fsf/trisquel_11.0_sources.tar> |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Feel free to test your download with the `trisquel_9.0-fsf_i686.iso.sha256` |
| 16 | file in this repo: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | sha2565sum -c trisquel_11.0-fsf_amd64.iso.sha256 |
| 19 | sha2565sum -c trisquel_11.0_sources.tar.sha256 |
| 20 | |
| 21 | If you don't have access to the FSF version of the Trisquel images, refer to |
| 22 | the following script and files: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | <https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/makeiso/-/blob/master/makeiso.sh> |

| 27 | ## Making a bootable USB drive |
| 28 | |
| 29 | This should work on an external USB drive, ideally one that is 12 GB or greater |
| 30 | in size, if you want to intsall all of the media files onto it. Note that using |
| 31 | a loop device will probably not work, partly due to the way syslinux behaves |
| 32 | with loop devices. If you get that working, feel free to submit a patch to |
| 33 | <sysadmin@gnu.org>. : ) |
| 34 | |
| 35 | This script has been tested on GNU/Linux with syslinux version 6.04. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | You should wipe at least the start of the drive you want to install onto. Note |
| 38 | that this is a destructive operation, and if you choose the wrong drive, you |
| 39 | will lose data. Replace the 'X' in /dev/sdX with the letter of the drive you |
| 40 | want to install to: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | lsblk |
| 43 | |
| 44 | # if you want to wipe /dev/sdX |
| 45 | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M count=25 |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Then run the script on the same drive: |
| 48 | |
| 49 | sudo ./live-usb-loader.sh trisquel_11.0-fsf_amd64.iso /dev/sdX |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ## Installing extra media, including Trisquel 11 source code |
| 52 | |
| 53 | This command also updates the Web page that shows up on boot. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | sudo ./install-extras.sh trisquel_11.0_sources.tar /dev/sdX |
| 56 | |
| 57 | ## Notes about video files and free space |
| 58 | |
| 59 | You may wish to transcode the downloaded videos to save space on the member |
| 60 | card, in particular `lp2020_kahle.webm` and `lp2020_younghackers.webm`. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | ffmpeg -i foo.webm -acodec libvorbis -b:a 64k -vcodec libvpx -vf scale=-1:720 -b:v 800k -preset medium foo_smaller.webm |
| 63 | |
| 64 | # check to make sure that the video quality is okay |
| 65 | mplayer foo_smaller.webm |
| 66 | |
| 67 | mv foo_smaller.webm foo.webm |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Then optionally update the checksum file for `/mnt/fsf/GNUAV/`: |
| 70 | |
| 71 | cd /mnt/fsf/GNUAV/ |
| 72 | sha256sum ./ > ../checksums.sha256 |
| 73 | mv ../checksums.sha256 . |
| 74 | |
