Mini-Pentoo modules addition
Friday 13 January 2006 by Grimmlin , Sleepless

You have three way of adding modules to your mpentoo livecd :

1. ISO remastering.
2. Usb stick booting
3. Usb stick storage

ISO Remastering
You can remaster the iso with magiciso with the free version (limited to a maximum of 300 Mb per iso image) by adding a directory called modules at the root of the iso and adding the moduels inside it.

Usb stick booting
If you have successfully setup your usb stick and booted on it, you can create your own modules and put them in the directory /modules/ of your stick.

Usb stick storage
In case of your pc don’t support usb pendrive booting, you can still use it for modules storage and tell the kernel to load them where you stick is.

ie : you have a usb stick detected as /dev/sda1.

Mount it and create a directory /modules/ at the root of it. Add some modules in it and boot the mpentoo while specifying at the kernel bootup cmd line where to load them:

modules=/dev/sda1

You should magically see (hopefully) the livecd loading them at boot...

Now, go ahead and create your own modules
