void-mklive - The Void Linux live image maker

This is a simple shell script to build a live image for the
Void linux distribution. The images contain the void-installer package
to be able to install Void linux to storage disks.

The generated image can be booted from BIOS and EFI systems (dual boot).
For BIOS isolinux is used and for EFI we use grub2.

Dependencies:
- dracut
- grub with support for PC-BIOS and x86_64 EFI
- syslinux
- dosfstools (for mkfs.vfat)
- xorriso
- squashfs-tools
- void-installer

Usage: void-mklive [options]

Options:
-C file Path to configuration file (defaults to ~/.mklive.conf)
-c (gzip|bzip2|xz) Compression type for the squashfs/initramfs image.
-k version Kernel version to use.
-o outfile Output file name for the ISO image.
-s splash Splash image file for isolinux.

* If -k not specified it will use $(uname -r) by default.
* The first time it is executed a config file will be created (~/mklive.conf).
* It's assumed that void-mklive is executed in a Void Linux system.

Take a look at the configuration file (~/mklive.conf) to tweak some
default parameters in the generated image.
