Compressing the Custom Partition Contents

The contents of a Custom Partition are packaged as a compressed tar file. Create it on the Linux command line, e.g. on a device that is running IGEL OS:

1. In the local terminal, become root and change to the /custom directory: cd /custom
   

   

   
   

2. Compress the contents of the hello/ directory into an archive file named hello.tar.bz2:
   tar cjvf hello.tar.bz2 hello/

   

   
   The result is a hello.tar.bz2 file, sitting side-by-side with the hello/ directory. You will upload it to UMS later.
