Live CD

Overview

This document shows the steps taken to build a Debian-based GNU/Linux Live CD. The document is a work in progress -- we are still experimenting ourselves.

  # echo "deb-src http://live.debian.net/debian/ etch main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  # apt-get update
  # apt-get install debian-unofficial-archive-keyring live-helper

  # cat > config/chroot_local-packageslists/packages.txt << "EOF"
