Hi all, i am relying on the debian-live facilities available via the debian/unstable branch since quite a few months now to build and release my debian testing/unstable based distribution wmlive (aka Window Maker Live), which is relying on the latest up to date Window Maker packages from debian/unstable as default graphical interface. It is very deeply preconfigured and has gained quite some popularity among Window Maker users.
The project homepage is located at http://wmlive.sourceforge.net and the latest release including the build configuration is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmlive/files/wmlive_2012-06-02 . Like already mentioned in the posting "live-installer + empty fstab" by Éclipse M <[email protected]>, the latest live-build/installer produces only an empty /etc/fstab file while installing the live system to disk, which is rather unfortunate. There are even a few more quirks with the installation, so that i had to write a quick'n'dirty script to work around these installation issues. It performs a grub instalation in case the installer failed to manage this (not really needed anymore), creates the also missing /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot file for encrypted LVM and updates the initrd.img accordingly, and now also populates the empty /etc/fstab file with some suitable entries, as the installer currently doesn't bother about it. This script is named "wmlive-fix-install" and is available for download as integrated part of the build customizations of wmlive from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmlive/files/wmlive_2012-06-02/wmlive-build_2012-06-02.tar.gz Hope it helps, but i'd rather prefer to see all the shortcomings of the live-installer be fixed, in order to be able to get rid of my own hacks. Thanks a lot for the wonderful debian-live build infrastructure! Best regards, Paul Seelig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
