ArtistX 0.6 question: rewrite wiki and manual
Hi All, I'm in the process of building the new ArtistX ( www.artistx.org ) and would like to use DL as for the last 5 versions :-) (as always I will add a reference to DL in the Distrowatch announcement and on the ArtistX website to give DL the maximum credit). Long time ago I made a tutorial (which is now in the Wiki under unsupported) and I would like to update it as DL has changed a bit over the last two years...:-) My usual steps 1) lh_config and change config/ files by hand (setting only boot parameters to make splashy work and enabling the interactive build) 2) during interactive build add packages and graphic customization (basically I create a empty iso with the same Kde/Gnome, save home dir and copy to /etc/skel the relevant files + change isolinux splash pic + wallpaper in /usr/share/images/desktop-base and splashy background in /etc/splashy/themes) I understand now how to use the include files using binary_local-includes/ and chroot_local-includes/ but: 1) how to use external apt sources and make sure they will go into the final iso? Need to add only debian-multimedia.org packages. 2) how to add the user artistx to various groups for making effective the installation of software like ntfs3g or other packages that require that the user is added to groups he is not part of. 3) how to test and include the new live installer (should I put the live installer udeb into binary_local-udebs/ ?) I'm willing to write all your answers in the wiki in the tutorial and help to write relevant section of the manual about these topics so nobody should ask again to build his custom Debian. I would strongly recommend to include graphic customizations, groups management and the installer as options of Live Magic. In that way it would become more like the Reconstructor GUI ( http://reconstructor.aperantis.com ) and spread DL also between non-technical people. I would be the first tester! Best regards, Marco Ghirlanda

As far as I understand, that's what the settings LH_MIRROR_* in config/bootstrap are for: LH_MIRROR_BOOTSTRAP # to bootstrap the build LH_MIRROR_CHROOT LH_MIRROR_CHROOT_SECURITY # to acutally load the packages during build LH_MIRROR_BINARY LH_MIRROR_BINARY_SECURITY # what the built system refers to (i.e. its # sources.list) Please someone correct me if I'm way off :-) 2) how to add the user artistx to various groups for making effective the installation of software like ntfs3g or other packages that require that the user is added to groups he is not part of. The live user gets added at boot time of the live system (*not* at build time). This surprised me too :-) So to add it to some groups, you'll have to hook into that. Possibly you'll have to (programmatically) modify the adduser script in the target's system initramfs, as in the second recipe in the FAQ: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/FAQ#head-5bb88fb88b407750f2f8ca0c02ca59b18e163bca Looks a bit scary ;-) Maybe some hook script would be nice here? Why is the live user generated so late in the process (i.e. at boot time instead of at build time)? Don't know about your third question.

Re: ArtistX 0.6 question: rewrite wiki and manual
Thanks everybody for the replies. I didn't understand so much the hook thing. Should I add a script that basically repeats usermod commands but where (which dir)? And when will be run? (I mean at which point of the iso creation or booting?) Groups are really important for many application, is there a simple way of adding my user to a list of groups? Without this I get lots of complains from people about not supporting ntfs and such things. After I sort this out I will to write relevant infos and possibly upload to the documentation or send it to the right person to publish it (Daniel?). Again thanks everybody (especially the developers), Marco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
