Hi All, First up - great work on Debian-live! ;-)
I've been working on a live ISO / USB / HD install system based on Debian-live recently, but I'm running into problems when trying to install to hard disk from USB (HD install from ISO, live USB and live ISO all work fine). I'm using Lenny with live-helper 1.0.3-2 (ie the current stable release). This problem appears to be identical to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498143 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510280 So i've tried setting up my environment, unpacking the contents of: ./builder/cache/packages_debian-installer.udeb/cdrom-detect_1.30_all.udeb manually applying Chris Lamb's patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=0001-Try-vfat-and-ext-disk-partitions-masquerading-as-Deb.patch;att=1;bug=498143 then recreating the .deb and overwriting the stock one. However, after making a new image I still get the same behaviour. Live-helper 1.0.3-2 appears to include support for include files in the installer: ./builder/config/binary_debian-installer-includes however I'm struggling to work out how to apply this patch in that directory (since this patch affects the postinstall file and not the script from the stock .deb that installs into /usr/lib/finish-install.d). I'm more than happy to test this patch (or alternative methods) on a variety of platforms, but I can't quite seem to come up with a working solution from the various pre-lenny emails about this issue on the mailist, so any advice on the best approach to a workaround for these bugs on Lenny is would be much appreciated. Basically I'm looking for a solution to installing to HD from USB media. Please let me know if you need any further information.
