--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist partusb creates a simple partition table on an usb memory stick with the right params for heads, cylinders and sectors/track to make it bootable on (almost) any PC with bootable usb harddisk support. In addition it can use debootstrap to install a base Debian or Ubuntu System on the usb stick, add grub to it, and it provides means to mount it for maintenance, to add and remove packages, etc. The created Linux system is _not_ bound to the PC used for installation. Samples (assuming /dev/sdd is the USB memory stick): partusb -d /dev/sdd -f --mbr -t vfat Install a mbr, and create a single bootable partition using the vfat filesystem. partusb -d /dev/sdd -i --swap 512 create a labeled root and swap partition, use debootstrap to add a basic Linux installation, and make it bootable via grub partusb -l usbroot update update the package database on the installed system. "usbroot" is the default label, so the -l option could be omitted. partusb install gnome xserver-xorg install gnome and the XWindow server packages, including all depen- dencies. partusb --synaptic mount the usbroot partition, and run the synaptic package manager in a chroot partusb --shell enter a chroot shell for maintenance # # Copyright (C) 2008 Harald Dunkel # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2, as # published by the Free Software Foundation. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
