Usage
=====
This section contains usage information for the software in this repository.
Using ``hscript-image`` to generate an image
````````````````````````````````````````````
The ``configs/`` directory contains the HorizonScript files that describe the
media you can create. All configurations eventually inherit from the
``base/base.installfile`` HorizonScript.
Each architecture supported for image creation has an entry in ``arch`` used
for all media created for that architecture.
The main targets used are typically:
* ``live/$ARCH-kde.installfile``: Live KDE media
* ``live/$ARCH-lxqt.installfile``: Live LXQt media
* ``live/$ARCH-mate.installfile``: Live MATE media
* ``horizon/$ARCH-horizon.installfile``: Installation media
* ``horizon/$ARCH-horizon-fw.installfile``: Installation media
(with non-libre firmware)
``hscript-image`` requires the following utilities to be installed:
Typically, ``hscript-image`` is run in the following way to generate,
for example, KDE media::
hscript-image -t iso -o adelie-$RELEASE-$ARCH-kde.iso configs/live/$ARCH-kde.installfile
See the comprehensive documentation on Horizon's ISO target in that repository.
As a cheat-sheet:
* ``-b issue-path=/path/to/issue/file`` - override ``/etc/issue`` on CD
* ``-b iso-params=foo`` - append ``foo`` to ``xorriso`` parameter
Reporting Issues
================
If you have issues installing with the official media, you should report your
issue to `the BTS`_.
If you have issues with generating your own media, or want to discuss other
media types, please contact the development team.
