jamesbond wrote:@belham2: congrats on your success. The parameter you passed to build-iso is incorrect though.
If you want to build small initrd only - "./build-iso.sh initrd small"
If you want to build an ISO file with small initrd - "./build-iso.sh iso small"
________________________
If you want to get complicated, here are more variations:
INITRD AND ISO
==========
If you want to build an BIOS-only (no UEFI support) ISO file with small initrd - "./build-iso.sh iso small isolinux"
If you want to build an BIOS (no UEFI support) with grub4dos ISO file with small initrd - "./build-iso.sh iso small grldr"
If you want to build a standard (=huge) initrd only - "./build-iso.sh initrd"
If you want to build an ISO with standard (=huge) initrd - "./build-iso.sh iso"
If you want to build an BIOS-only ISO with standard (=huge) initrd - "./build-iso.sh iso std isolinux"
etc
SFS only
======
If you want to build only the basesfs - "./build-iso.sh base"
If you want to build only the devx sfs - "./build-iso.sh devx" (note: will need to add DEVX_ROOTFS_DIR= to build-iso.conf). Edit sfs-devxlist as needed.
If you want to build only the nls sfs - "./build-iso.sh nls" (note: will need to add NLS_ROOTFS_DIR= to build-iso.conf). Edit sfs-nlslist as needed.
If you want to build basesfs, devx, nls at the same time, - "./build-iso.sh multi"
If you want to build 32bit compat lib sfs - "./build-iso.sh base32" (note: will need BASE32_ROOTFS_DIR= in your build-iso.conf, and also edit sfs-base32list as needed).
If you want to build only the unsplit basesfs (unsplit means all the header files, docs, nls etc are in the same sfs) - "./build-iso.sh single" - but you will need to populate sfs-pkglist
Other notes
=======
If you already built a basesfs and want to build an initrd/iso, and don't want to rebuild the basesfs again, pass USE_EXISTING=1 to env before calling build-iso.sh, e.g.
USE_EXISTING=1 ./build-iso.sh iso
All these additional notes should go into the README or INFO or something, I know. I'll do that in the next release ... hopefully

Thank you, James!! I'm going to do a couple more builds over the next few days trying variations of the parameters you listed here. Much thanks again for making this possible for someone like me
