I have been scouring the net for info on tcl for the past few weeks and playing with it in VMs. Motorola android phones are able to be flashed back to their original firmaware via an .sbf file, there is a way to do this with window$ but of course it is buggy and works differently for different people, there is a linux utility (
sbf_flash) that works flawlessly. What I would like to do is pack tcl with the proper .sbf file, sbf_flash, a shell script to run it and a bootlocal.sh tweak to start the script upon boot. I have used SliTaz in the past to accomplish this, it works fine but I much prefer tcl, extremely fast boot time, perfect hardware detection, well... you guys know why tcl rocks. The way I have done it in the past and the way I would like to do it with tcl:
Boot tcl in VirtualBox
Download the proper files
Write my script
Edit bootlocal.sh to run the script at boot time
Create an .iso of the live system I am running
Upload the .iso from tcl to the web
The only way I've found to build an iso is with ezremaster, the program looks good but it requires a mydata.tgz, I am having problems with backing up tcl to create this file, this may be the only problem I need to solve to create the .iso. Whenever I try to back up it says "Error occurred. Make sure you are using a valid backup/restore device", also tcl never creates the /tce directory that should be in place to contain my backup. Any helpful hints and or links would be much appreciated. I am not a total linux n00b but I am fairly new to this.
