Live-Build is a Debian based infrastructure -> [[https://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/unstable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html|Debian Live-Build Manual]]

== Build Host Requirements ==

ppc64el images are built on a ppc64el host

== Setting up Live-Build with Patches ==

There are two patches needed to build and install ppc64el ISO's, IMG's and Netboot tarball's.

As of March 23, 2017, you will need to clone and build grub2 on the build machine to include a patch for the ieee1275 chrp grub install

== Sample Live-Build Configuration ==

This tutorial is based on a pre-configured setup for ppc64el.

=== Download the tar file ===

Use the following tar file as a base config, we will show you later the common options to tweak.
