Bittixlinux9 Files

Bittixlinux9, this is howto get it in minimum configuration:
make a new directory and cd there
and give these commands, one by one, wait first, until the previous has finished

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unzip git genisoimage bashburn


git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittixlinux9dnlhlpmknisob1/code dnlhlpmknisob1


git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp1/code dnl1



git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp2/code dnl2



git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp3/code dnl3


git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp5/code dnl5


git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp6/code dnl6


git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp8/code dnl8

if you want the extra modules you can do, but don't need

The Virtualbox guest os module:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittixdnlhlp4/code dnl4

The USA vector sea charts module for OpenCPN chart/gps plotter, this is about 240 Mb file, so don't download if you don't need it, instead you can get or make e.g. .kap files of the charts in your area, there are instructions in the web, google ! :

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/bittix9dnlhlp7/code dnl7


find from subdirectories, that is from in the first ones you got by git the .zip file

cd there with terminal and give the command

unzip makebittix.zip


copy all .sb files from all directories you downloaded by git
to the unzipped slax directory

in terminal cd there, to slax directory

and give these commands


./make_iso.sh

when asked give the filename: bittixlinux9-xfce-dvd-amd64.iso

when the process is ready the file is found by giving the command ls *.iso

with command bashburn you can start the program by which you can burn the iso image file onto dvd.

if you need to boot it from usb-memory stick there is at least 3 programs:

http://unetbootinbitti.sourceforge.net
http://www.bittix.org

From your own linux distribution there is most probably unetbootin,
which is probably not necessary if you are able to install the previous.
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
unetbootin

or in Linux Mint
mintstick

or first sudo apt-get install mintstick

or if you don't have Mint, then for 64-bit linuxes:

http://usbimagewriterrepack.sourceforge.net/

there are windows versions for unetbootinbitti and unetbootin at least.


download from http://unetbootinbitti.sourceforge.net


if by any chance somehow you have copy of all those .sb files and unzipped the zip file on
your windows machine, then it just might be possible to run in command line in
the unzipped slax folder make_iso.bat and get the iso image stitched together, but
it is not tested at all by me.
