=Building an install-media= | |||
Please change into the profile folder you want to build, if you have not already done this. In our example this is: | |||
cd ~/work/manjaroiso/e17/ | |||
Now, use buildiso to build your install-media: | |||
sudo buildiso | |||
buildiso will create a new folder <code>work-x86_64</code> or <code>work-i686</code> depending on install-media you want to build. buildiso will work in that folder exclusively. When buildiso is finished, the .iso file with your install-media will appear in your profile folder (in our example: ~/work/manjaroiso/e17/ ). | |||
In case anything goes wrong buildiso will display an error. Try to fix this error and restart buildiso. | |||
If there is a severe error in buildiso or if you want to build a completely new install-media, it might be necessary to delete buildiso's work folder. In our example this is: | |||
sudo rm -rfv ~/work/manjaroiso/e17/work-x86_64 | |||
Attention: The <code>work-x86_64</code> folder will '''not''' be completely deleted, because parts of it are mounted. In severe cases, please reboot your system. | |||
