Hello, first of all I'm a newbie concerning Debian Live, but have a good knowledge of Debian in general.
I've installed the live-helper and cdebootstrap packages into a lenny system and tried to customize the default "etch" iso image creation process. But I had some problems: * What's the difference between the chroot and the binary stage? For me it's not obvious when to use which directory (binary* or chroot*) created in config after lh_config. * I would like to boot the iso using a default keyboard layout of "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" and a locale of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not using boot parameters). I managed to set the locale by using an interactive debconf mode but failed to achieve setting the keyboard (even so I configured it correctly with interactive debconf). If I use "install-keymap" or "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" in the created iso, I'm able to switch it. How can I do this in a noninteractive way when creating the iso? * I would like to customize some config files inside the image. I was able to replace ".bashrc" and add ".vimrc" in the root dir by putting the file in the chroot_local-includes directory but wasn't able to replace "/etc/sysctl.conf" neither by putting it in "chroot_local-includes" or "binary_local-includes". How would I do that? How do I replace default configuration files of packages in general? * How does preseeding work. Is it "debconf-get-selections | grep <PACKAGE> > CONFFILE" and then putting "CONFFILE" in the preseed directory? Is this the answer to my second question? I know, this is a lot of stuff to answer. But I'm very interested in using Debian Live and so I hope you could help me. Thanks. Greetings, Dieter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
