problem for building a live cd
Hi at all, i have a strange problem to build a live cd. I'm behind a proxy which i setted in apt.conf the Acquire::http_proxy statement, and i have any problem to install pkgs via apt-get. When i run lh_build the output is: P: Begin caching bootstrap stage... P: Begin bootstrapping system... P: Retrieving Release E: Couldn't download Release! P: Begin caching bootstrap stage... P: Begin caching chroot stage... P: Begin mounting /proc... E: lh_chroot_proc missing Is a problem solvable via a particular configuration in the config directory or is a more hard problem ?? Thanks at all. ___ debian-live-devel mailing list debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel

Hi all, Is a problem solvable via a particular configuration in the config directory or is a more hard problem ?? Bad mirror (or some strange networking error)? Debootstrap has failed. personally I couldn't find a way to use apt behind proxies. So using a Linux box in corporate environments I normally succeed (not always) in connecting to the Internet using their proxies, but I can't update my Debian box by using apt-get or aptitude. regards, Marco ___ debian-live-devel mailing list debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel

However, If you need live-helper to use a proxy, try calling lh_config like so: lh_config --apt-http-proxy http://host:port/ [other options] Alternatively, if you already have a config/ directory, set LH_APT_HTTP_PROXY in config/common. (I'm assuming that your proxy actually works outside of the context of live-helper, such as installation of packages via apt-get on your build system.)

Chris Lamb, or lamby on irc.oftc.net Me. :) Regarding an installer, you'll have to be a little more specific to what you are after. There are three different types of installer that I can think of: 1. Normal Debian Installer This is a Debian Live image with a seperate kernel and initrd which (when selected from the bootloader) launches into a standard Debian Installer instance, just as if you had downloaded a CD image of Debian and booted it. This means that Debian is installed by fetching and installing .deb packages using debootstrap, either from the CD or some mirror, resulting in a real Debian system being installed to the hard disk. This whole process can be preseeded and customised in a number of ways; see the relevant wiki pages[0] and installation guides[1] for more. This is working now. 2. Live Debian Installer This is a Debian Live image with a seperate kernel and initrd which (when selected from the bootloader) launches into an instance of the Debian Installer. Installation will proceed as of #1 but at the actual package installation stage, instead of using debootstrap to fetch and install .deb packages, the live filesystem image is copied to the target. The Debian Installer then proceeds to install and configure things such as bootloaders and local users, etc. This is working now (assuming you use live-installer = 6 from unstable - see Daniel's message for the link). 3. Ubuntu-style installer This is where you boot into a graphical Debian Live system and run a wizard-based program which installs and configures the live system, all the time remaining inside the live graphical environment. This is currently NOT possible with Debian Live. Please note: * Please note my careful use of capital letters when referring to the Debian Installer - when used like this I refer explicitly to the official installer for the Debian system, not anything else. See its Wikipedia page[2] for more. It is often seen abbreviated to d-i.) * In the place of selecting options from a bootloader it is possible to use kexec to launch immediately into a Debian Installer instance without requiring a reboot or fiddling with boot options. I don't know whether this is generally supported or advised, but it works for me. * It would probably be not too difficult to start one of the first two installation processes via the win32-loader program[3].
