    $ make

and then see the usage output:

    $ ./mklive.sh -h
    $ ./mkrootfs.sh -h
    $ ./mkimage.sh -h

Build a native live image with runit and keyboard set to 'fr':

    # ./mklive.sh -k fr

Build an i686 (on x86\_64) live image with some additional packages:

    # ./mklive.sh -a i686 -p 'vim rtorrent'

Build an x86\_64 musl live image with packages stored in a local repository:

    # ./mklive.sh -a x86_64-musl -r /path/to/host/binpkgs

See the usage output for more information :-)


These scripts are in flux, if you want to build a duplicate of a
production image, its not a bad idea to ping maldridge on IRC.  This
message will be removed when this readme is replaced with complete
documentation.
