I'm using live-build 3.0~a45-1 under Ubuntu 11.10 to create a live Squeeze system on a USB drive. I have a file (~500MB) that I want on the final image, so at the moment I just put it in config/includes.chroot/opt/stuff and it gets bundled in when I build the image. This was fine when the image changed more often than this file, but now I want to update the file without rebuilding the whole image. Ideally it would sit on a second partition on the USB drive that was read-only when mounted by the live system.
I can't just use a "live-rw" partition with the "persist" option to live-boot, because I don't want any changes in the live system accidentally persisted. The most recent version of live-boot has an option "persistent-read-only" which would get around this, that this is not available in the version installed on a Squeeze system (2.0.15-1). Is there any way I can get this kind of read-only filesystem overlay mechanism on a Squeeze live image? Cheers, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
