Can you elaborate on the splitted/partial squashfs images feature?
It sounds interesting... I can help with this feature.

Sorry for the late reply :)

Live installer? Can't we do a bounty and sponsor a developer to work on
this? How much time would it take IYHO?
Just my two cents, egoistically sent in the bit (many ArtistX users are
asking about this, so I've had to put a Debian to ArtistX tutorial on
the ArtistX site).

Regards,

Marco

live-installer is something completely different, so please excuse that
I did only speak about live-helper on the above roadmap.

Depending on how 'busy' I am while the Debcamp, I hope to hack up a
working example for it while that week.

For someone familiar with debian-installer, this should be a realtive
easy and straight forward task. As I am not that familiar yet with it, I
will need a bit more time to do it. Of course, sponsorship, bounties,
patches or even someone other writing it is always welcome.

 Just my two cents, egoistically sent in the bit (many ArtistX users are

yeah, it's my personal release goal for lenny to have debian-live images
at the very same time the 'regular' images are released, and, to have
live-installer both in cli and gui on that very disks.

so, don't worry about it for the long-term (aka lenny), it will be
definitely accomplished, but right now, it's a bit of a problem of
priority for me to do it myself.

casper/live-initramfs support to have different squashfs images, so that
one has do the following on the media:

  casper/filesystem-base.squashfs
  casper/filesystem-kde.squashfs
  casper/filesystem-gnome.squashfs
  [..]

where basically two things can be made:

  1. merging; casper will first mount filesystem-base.squashfs and then
lay filesystem-kde.squashfs on the next layer.

that lets us save space, so that the gnome squashfs image doesn't
need to contain the fails already included in base.

  2. as implicitly given by 1, one can of course have multiple
'complete' squashfs images sessions, let's us e.g. boot a gnome
 session or a kde session from the same media.

(this is btw not restricted to squashfs, it works with the other
filesystem types too).

however, this needs to be implemented in live-helper in a smart way,
patches welcome :)

I updated the TODO file in live-helper sources to reflect the things
said in this thread. If you want to check the todo file of live-helper
in future, always check the one in the sources, available at:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-live/dists/trunk/live-helper/docs/TODO?op=filerev=0sc=0

Daniel
