A set of shell scripts that converts an existing installed Linux distribution into a bootable Live Kit (Live CD/USB) with ISO and TAR outputs. It uses squashfs with XZ compression and aufs/overlayfs union filesystems, and supports persistent changes on USB.
Use cases
- create a bootable live linux iso from my installed distro
- make a custom live usb linux distribution
- build a live cd with squashfs compression
- turn my linux installation into a portable bootable system
- create a live distro with persistent storage on usb
- remaster a minimal linux live image
When to choose
- you already have a Linux installation you want to turn into a bootable live image
- you want a simple script-based alternative to heavier tools like live-build or Cubic
- you need USB boot with persistent changes and small XZ-compressed squashfs images
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with a formal license and active community support
- you want to build live images for non-Linux or cross-architecture targets
- you prefer declarative/GUI-based live image builders
