Create a new partition on your hard drive (gparted is good for this; as always with such operations, make sure you have good backups), put a filesystem on it (e.g. mkfs.ext4) and label it 'live-rw' (e.g. with 'e2label'). > If I read that page correctly, "swapon" is something that has to be > specified when initially creating the live image. Not necessarily. live-boot operates using boot parameters. These can be edited after the image is built one of these ways: - at the boot prompt, press tab and append the parameter - mount the live image and edit the boot parameters to make the change permanent (assumes the live image is editable, e.g. -b hdd) > I was looking for a means to use a unmodified image from debian.org . > If I can't, it is not a deal breaker as: > 1.

Certainly building your own images is easy and rewarding. It is the recommended way to make customizations. Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
