Kernel Requirements: ==================== On the host system, these packages need to be installed: * sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.14.2-r1 * sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20131230 * sys-kernel/genkernel Once you emerge these things, create a symbolic link of the hardened-sources to point to "/usr/src/linux-tinhat". After this you need to apply the Loop-AES patch by doing the following: * cp ./config/loop-AES-kernel-3.14.patch /usr/src/linux-tinhat/ Then apply the patch: * rm -f drivers/block/loop.c include/linux/loop.h * patch -p1 < loop-AES-kernel-3.14.patch To run: ======= Execute ./-run.sh Where is a desktop manager of three flavors of choice: * Fluxbox * Gnome3 * Xfce4 When your ISO is built, you can clean up by removing the th--/ directory as it is no longer needed. Enjoy! ;)
