## How to build my own image? ##
**Preparation**
- x86 machine running any OS, 4G ram, SSD, quad core (recommended),
- [virtual box](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) or similar virtualization software, **(highly recommended)**
- host system is **highly recommended** to be [Ubuntu 14.04](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) (**some but not all** sources can also compile on Ubuntu 15.04, Mint 17.2 and Debian Jessie),
- installed basic system, OpenSSH and Samba (optional),
- root access.
**Execution**
apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1
cp lib/compile.sh .
chmod +x compile.sh
./compile.sh
This will download all necessary sources, execute compilation and build an bootable image. Most of things will be cached so next run will be extremly faster!
## How to build my own kernel? ##
**Prerequisition are the same as building an image!**
Edit *compile.sh* prior to running and alter switch:
KERNEL_ONLY="yes"
In directory (output/debs) you will find deb packed kernel, together with headers, firmware and u-boot.
If you are doing changes to kernel source, disable GIT lock with:
FORCE_CHECKOUT="no"
If you want to invoke menu configuration:
KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes"
