Scripts to remaster Tiny Core Linux

Remastering Tiny Core Linux allows us to create customized bootable Linux ISO images that provides a minimal live Linux environment for shipping and running software.

Tiny Core Linux Remaster is a set of shell scripts to automate Tiny Core Linux remastering. It demonstrates several approaches to introducing customizations to the Tiny Core Linux ISO image, namely building and loading extensions, repacking and adding initrd image (i.e. core.gz).

I am using the following as the remastering host:

• Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)
• Alpine 3.20
• Tiny Core Linux 15.0
