Sorry Daniel, but I don't understand -d and -m options ========<cut>============== --mode debian|emdebian|ubuntu defines a global mode to load project specific defaults. By default this is set to debian. -d|--distribution CODENAME defines the distribution of the resulting live system. ========<end cut>============== This is not clear for me. is ubuntu a debian project on live-build parlance? I understand -d is the codename. If I "create" a new distro (mydistro), is the codename mydistro or a mode??? I don't understand the concepts. Why is ubuntu a mode not a codename (distribution) ? If I need other mode (mydistromode), what I have to do? Yes, I needed to do some links (ln -fs /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/squeeze /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/mydistro) and the version hack above but It is running, I think. The question : I will have a local repository, obtained with reprepro, with my distribution (mydistro squeeze based firstly) and I will have a live USB. What is the best way to proceed? Do I have create a new mode (mydistromode) similar approach to ubuntu mode ? When I use the -m option to "ubuntu", I have to put the option -d squeeze or -d maverick? To many questions?
