+# @lfk/scanclient-ive
+
+## ✒️ Overview
+This is the a live linux distribution that autostarts @lfk/scanclient-electron after boot.
+Based on the awesome [Slax Linux](https://www.slax.org/).
+
+## 🚀 Setup
+1. Download the latest zip and unpack it
+2. Copy the slax folder over to your USB drive
+3. Execute the `slax/boot/bootinst.bat` (Windows) or `slax/boot/bootinst.sh` (Linux) Skript to make the usb bootable
+4. Boot your system from the usb stick (legacy mode)
+
+## 🛠 Build it yourself
+> These steps rely on node:alpine, you can adopt them to your own os (mostly for depency installation)
+```bash
+apk add squashfs-tools git zip
+yarn
+yarn download
+unsquashfs slax/modules/lfkscan.sb
+rm -rf slax/modules/lfkscan.sb squashfs-root/root/lfkscan
+mv out/\@lfk-scanclient-electron-linux-x64 squashfs-root/root/lfkscan
+mksquashfs squashfs-root slax/modules/lfkscan.sb -b 1024k -comp xz -Xbcj x86 -e boot
+rm -rf squashfs-root out electron.zip
