debootstrap is designed to run on any Linux distribution, to facilitate installations from Red Hat, Slackware and the like. I realized that live-helper uses debootstrap for the initial stage, and does most other operations inside the chroot. This got me to thinking: could live-helper produce a working Debian GNU/Linux live CD while running on another distro? The answer is yes! I have put together debootstrap 1.0.10 and live-helper 1.0.0 modules for Slax from the original Debian packages. http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=848 http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=849 To comply with the Slax standard, all locales and documentation have been removed. There's not that much purpose for making a live CD from another live CD, but it might be useful for someone. (I use Kubuntu myself and have built a few Debian Live-based images by installing live-helper and debootstrap from Debian.)
