Some hints for usage of clone_stage4: Use clone_stage4 not on the build computer but on the computer which provides httpd and nfsd, or, in other words: On the computer which serves the boot files. That's the reason why clone_stage4 rejects 'local' as IP. To use stage4 a nfs export will be necessary. On the build computer (or, in other words, the computer which compiles etc.): - build your system to your taste. - Then, to provide a standardized bind mount (/export/build) for synchronizing from elsewhere ("server IP") enter: ./mltk remote -n Then, on the service computer (the one where's booted from etc, see above) - sync all of your build (IP is IP of build computer): ./mltk server IP -s - or, if wanted, sync just some parts, for example: ./mltk server [IP] stage31 -e stage31 -s ./mltk server [IP] stage32 -e stage32 -s ./mltk server 132.230.8.238 vbox -e addons -s (etc.) Well, then do the cloning work: ./scripts/clone_stage4 [IP] /path/to/your/nfs/share/stage4 To use the stage4 make sure your (base) config file contains a line SLX_STAGE4_NFS=[IP of service computer]:/path/to/your/nfs/share/stage4 At least now (20130912) it is necessary to enter systemctl (start, restart, reload) nfs-mount ... then login (or re-login), and the stage4s should be there in all their glory.
