I believe the sid version of live-build is indeed the preferred one, but I've heard that using sid as the target distro for your image can make things more complicated than they need to be.

Thank you very much! After reading [2], I think I also understand why it was put in X-Start-Before, but I still don't understand how this can work: mountkernfs not only mounts /tmp/, but also /proc/ - and without /proc/cmdline, live-boot is not going to get very far. Anyway: I am burning my first new live CD in over two weeks now. Thank you very much for your help! Thanks, --Juergen
