There is a package you can install on your existing debian system (if you have one) called live-build. You can then man lb_config and that will detail a lot of the options. Here's an example of how I build a live image (without the live-build website). As root: lb config -d lenny -a i386 -b usb-hdd -p lxde --bootappend-live persistent timezone=America/New_York --interactive true lb build The -p lxde references a file in /usr/share/live/build/lists. Each file tells what packages to install. You can edit them or create your own. The --interactive true drops you to a shell near the end of the build so that you can manually add/remove/configure packages, or make any other changes you want to the system before the image is built. I've never used the web interface that you're using, so I can't give you very specific help on that. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

How do you install Debian Live to a hard drive? I'd like to install Debian Live to a VirtualBox hard drive (which I have successfully done with other distros), make some changes, and then create a new ISO for a modified version of the live CD. -- Jason Hsu, Linux-literate embedded engineer (952) 715-7661 embedded_engin...@jasonhsu.com http://www.jasonhsu.com/ee.html http://www.jasonhsu.com/swrwatt.html http://www.jasonhsu.com/ee-robot.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, I'm not sure about this, but theoretically, you can install Debian installer (package debian-installer) in the live environment and then use it to install the live system, but... Why not just grub the first CD and install it?

FYI, there is also a debian-live mailing list. If you want to make some changes in the build, maybe it's best to build it yourself using the live-build package. You do not need to start with a downloaded iso file. live-build allows you to specify exactly which packages get installed. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
