How to Create your own Dbox image??

[rabby]

Is there guide in the forum on How to Create your own Dbox image??

I have tried a search and found nothing related to this.

Primarily, I would like to create an image with my own animated startup, is this possible and how.

There's a very good guide here for creating dbox images.

Tuxbox Newmake for DUMMIES (http://www.team-commando.co.uk/newmake/)

Some good links at the bottom of the page too.

Graet work, thank you mate for this link.
I have, maybe a stuped question:

do gentoo users have to change some USE option in the make.conf file?

Thank you (Merci)

hi,
here is the gcc version on my gentoo box:

@MyGentoo ~/tuxbox/tuxbox-cvs/cdk $ gcc --version

can I use it to make a neutrino image for a nokia dbox2?

here is some other information on my gentoo box:

Nitr8 from commando made the following tutorial

Tuxbox Newmake for DUMMIES (http://www.team-commando.co.uk/newmake/)

Dont know if the link still works as the commando site has been offline for a while. no idea why

[bobsylas]

Link still works & is a very good guide

[john1234]

Hi, please could someone please tell me if it is possible to build a dbox image with a linux live cd?

As far as I know the pc boots from the live cd & treats it as the hard drive so in that case you could not compile an image with it.

Never played with it much so I dont know if you could configure it to work with a hard drive or another storage device ?
