HDD installation from Live CD
Hi all, I have successfully created a Live-CD for GNUmed which includes a running PostgreSQL database. I included the Debian installer and used it inside vmware. When finished it drops me in a login shell. Is there any way to tell it to install exactly like on the CD (like GUI , XFCE setup ) ?

either copy the data files in through local-includes, or add a local

The strange things is that I have added postgresql-client-8.3 as a package

Any hints ? Thanks

postgresql on live CD
Hi all, Great work so far. Since I got that far I am in for more. I have the GNUmed client running now and it connects to a public internet postgresql database. Our small userbase tells us that they want a local postgresql installation. Well it is fairly easy to add postgresql and a few more packges to the packages list. What I need however is a fully configured postgresql installation along with a GNUmed database. What is the proper way to do this ? I imagine I could just let the live-helper install postgresql and replace a few files with the help of a script later ? I would like to replace the configuration files as well as copy the postgresql dabase files (var/lib/pgsql/data) which hold a GNUmed database. Does anyone know if postgresql service is started automatically when installing postgresql via live-helper.

I issued all the squashfs-antifuckup commands once again like in an earlier posting. you are building testing or unstable? squashfs antifuckup is *only* needed if the distribution of the *live* system is lenny/testing. Yes. I run on etch in vmware but I want a lenny live system (because of GNUmed). This used to work. Now it starts to boot but fails with 'can't open /scripts/casper' casper is only used on etch. if you build lenny or newer, make sure your LH_INITRAMFS is set to live-initramfs (or use auto to have it set at runtime depending on LH_DISTRIBUTION).

One more question. How do I include gnumed from testing since the stable version is very old. I guess I have to work with apt-pinning somwhow. you can put a custom preferences in config/chroot_apt/preferences. however, building a lenny based image is probably safer/easier (given that you, currently, you have to include the squashfs antifuckup packages).
