These instructions outline the process of setting up a working build environment for the Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD).

1. Download and unpack a Debian chroot environment, or create one yourself.

wget http://bccd.cs.uni.edu/~tmcnulty/chroots/chroot-<arch>.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf chroot-<arch>.tar.bz2

2. Enter the chroot:

sudo chroot chroot-<arch> /bin/bash
cd

3. Optional but recommended. Download a local copy of all the third party sources:

wget http://bccd.cs.uni.edu/~tmcnulty/chroots/garchive.tar # 600-some MB
tar xf garchive.tar -C /

4. Enter the CVS checkout and update it:

su - bccd
cd bccd
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@bccd.cs.uni.edu:/ login
# hit return when prompted for a password
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@bccd.cs.uni.edu:/ up

5. Start the build process:

cd meta/lnx-bbc
make singularity_GARCH=<arch> build # where <arch> is one of: ppc, i386
# wait a long time

6. Grab the ISO and burn it to a CD:

cp work/main.d/bccd-*.iso ~
cd
# use your favorite burner here
