for me, it's even simpler :) live-helper is taking care about almost all of the little magic required to build live systems. you can master cds with one single command (make-live). > And I'm talking about the user-perspective. from the user perspective, there are two problems with live-helper: * it is massively underdocumented atm. * if you have applications which are not possible to install non-interactively, e.g. because you only have a gui-installer for it, you cannot install it so convenient atm. the --interactive flag of make-live provides the possibilty to make a build interactive. currently, only shell interactiveness works, but a xnest window is planned and comming sooner or later. > To my understanding the VM would require installing the virtualization > software (click through) and choosing a folder you want to mount within the > VM. > > What would be necessary to achieve the same with a Live-CD? the live system is not different to a non-live system, so if you can read the machines filesystems, you can just mount them as usual. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
