Re: List of Live CD based on Debian Live

My project is www.artistx.org Very nice. Can you put the configuration file in the Wiki? I am interested in advanced examples. May be you like to make a nice alternate boot and splash screen for debian live? I think it maybe a good way of getting the thing outside to people. In a way DL is WAY better than current projects for making live cd's. In my eyes it is rapidly going better and better. And I think it is the only live CD that non experts can build? bye Andreas ___ Debian-live-devel mailing list Debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel

Wishes Granted: live cd, gtk/text D-I, debian.exe, memtest
I for one have longed for a all in one CD that will boot a live system. It's great for repair jobs, or just the what if, as we all know. Also, the new GTK netboot is s sexy, even die hard command line geeks will dig it. For brevity, I will *assume* you can connect all these dots. Don't be afraid to read it more then once to let it sink in. (I'm a scatter brain at this hour, I wanted sleep 5h ago) So what did I build? I built a base make-live image with these added features: Grub Bootloader: (* = default) * Debian Live (naturally) - base (no gui. try a gui if you wish...) TODO: D-L with amd64 kernel Memtest86 Debian-Installer GTK i386 Debian-Installer Text i386 Debian-Installer GTK amd64 Debian-Installer Text amd64 Also on the CD: Windows32/64 Debian-Installer autorun Debian logo for the CD (swirl.ico from win32-loader in autorun) Grub for DOS Ok, I'm not sure if bug #412301 is fixed at the time of this writing, but I ran a shorter variant of using the shell as your all in one hook. In the end, it turns out I really didn't need it, as you'll see later if you review all this. Feel free to modify this to taste to use a GUI and your favorite window manager etc. $ sudo make-live --hook sh ... some time later casper# Install grub, but do not probe for a harddisk - hah it's live, what harddisk? :) I think you can install the amd64 kernel + module here. This should allow TODO in the grub menu to work. I have no amd64 system, so I have to beg for access on a nearby system :). Rumor has it you can run amd64 kernel and use a i386 userland, but I haven't tested... My copy of the grub menu.lst (and the 120mb cd I'm talking about here) is at http://www.goodbye-windows.com/downloads/ If you inspect the menu.lst, you'll see I disregarded some use of update-grub, because we had to get it right once, and it'll stay this way on CD. Do not use the savedefault option. you can't write back :) The lastest known good Win32 based loader is debian-20070303-161637.exe. If it yells this os isn't supported, consider backing out, or be prepared to use a workaround (see below). URLs to fetch todays GTK (and textmode failsafe) installers for amd64 and i386: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/ netboot/gtk/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz http://people.debian.org/~aba/d-i/images/daily/ netboot/gtk/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz If in doubt, the linux file in the same directory is the kernel to use with these. However, it /should/ be the same as sid. download if in doubt, but my last attempt showed the md5 sums are identical. It's important to sync chroot/boot/ over into binary/boot/ $ sudo rsync -av chroot/boot/ binary/boot/ We need the stage2 loader for eltorito. $ sudo cp chroot/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito binary/boot/ Then we make the CD: $ sudo mkisofs -R -J -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o dual-live-di.iso binary/ I tried testing in qemu, but it was unable to boot this image. I tested vmware-server (It's now $0, but not FOSS) which boots the CD, and booted all targets without issue. ## Win32-loader notes: autorun.inf: [dos] open=\tools\win32-loader.exe icon=\tools\swirl.ico Grab the icon: $ sudo wget http://www.goodbye-windows.com/favorite.ico -O binary/tools/swirl.ico Be advised that Win95+98 need to use grub.exe+grub.pif in c:\ as a workaround until win32-loader is updated. Launch grub.pif to restart in dos realmode when grub.exe is called. WinMe (without great and excessive pain) will not support how win32-loader uses grub.exe (dos realmode). Also, win32-loader does not support Vista at this time. The only known workaround is to drop back to any other supported Windows release. It appears the Vista bootloader (see technet/msdn for bcdedit.exe) launches Windows PE binaries (eg, memtest.exe and winload.exe). Grub for DOS does not support this. (help welcome) And that's that. If I had a 64bit system, I could test amd64 better...

Bug#394334: make-live: Should clean up after itself
Hi,
trap solves this problem.
When the script exits with an error during the chroot phase, the script goes
to a clean function that also umount /proc.
I made some tests but the patch is probably not flawless...
Cheers,
Hadar

When make-live finishes, it leaves debian-live/chroot/lib/init/rw/
mounted.
It also often does this when it is aborted. Also, debian-live/chroot/proc
is
mounted if the hook script is aborted (that is, if it exits non-0).
Any mounts in the chroot should be properly cleaned up on exit (no matter
how,
except of course via a KILL signal).
Thanks,
Bas

how to make a really small debian on usb
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I use debian/sid, and have installed the live-package. I edited the configuer file /etc/make-live.conf with usb/mini/sid, then run make-live. # make-live It stopped with error below: /usr/sbin/lh_configapt: line 26: /root/debian-live/chroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00make-live_recommends.conf: No such file or directory But there was no directory named apt.conf.d in /root/debian-live/chroot/etc/apt/, so I made the apt.conf.d dir, unmount the proc-live fs, and run make-live again. # mkdir /root/debian-live/chroot/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ # umount /root/debian-live/chroot/proc # make-live This time it worked, and generated a img file successfully. Is it a bug? And I want to make a really small debian on usb with GUI. I think I should use buzybox instead of coreutils, and fluxbox.(and use upx compress the binary?) How to do this? Last question, is it possible to build a debian on usbkey with fat32 format (such as RIP Linux)? So I can use its rest space in WindowsXP. Sorry for poor English. ___ Debian-live-devel mailing list Debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
