The Process

This should get you to a 014.10 system from 014.01 in the safest way possible. This guide was written in mind from a fresh 014.01 minimal install, but you should be

Tweaking the GoboLinux LiveCD: a tutorial

This is a quick guide to the internals of how the GoboLinux Live CD is constructed. It will get you up to speed with the tools that build the CD, allowing you to make customizations. With this we hope to lower the entry barrier to potential contributors to the distro's development.

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes you're running a GoboLinux system, with the most recent version of the Scripts package installed. Your kernel needs to support UnionFS, SquashFS and CramFS. You also need the SquashFS-Tools installed. All of this is available from the GoboLinux repositories.

This tutorial assumes all steps are performed with superuser privileges (become superuser with su or use sudo). This is because the tools need to

##Event Guide by Octavian

###General Events are Infantry’s answer to coding support. Events essentially cause actions to happen to a player (ex. add four Hand Grenades to player’s inventory) and Events are called or executed when certain conditions happen in the game (such as a new game starting or a player dying) or when called by another Event. Events can be empty or they may contain a list of actions to perform on a player or a reference to another Events, or even both. Before we get too far into events, lets
