Probably we should look at it to have fixed and updated packages in
sid... :-)

I might be interested in sponsoring this, since I need such a tool for
work.  I won't be able to take a look until I'm back home (which is on
Monday evening CEST time), though.

Bug#204422: ITP: debix -- Live filesystem creation tool

2003-08-07 Thread Goswin Brederlow 
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-07
Severity: wishlist

  Package name: debix

  Description : Live filesystem creation tool
  Sponsor : wanted

Debix is a collection of scripts to create live filesystems. Several
flavours are planed:

- Make a live filesystem image from any existing linux system
  Apart from a special initrd a plain image of the existing system is
  made without changes. The image on CD is made semingly writeable via
  LVM2 snaphots by the initrd and then the normal init is started.

- Pure live filesystem like knoppix (+zero reboot installation)
  Difference to Knoppix would be customizable size, being a pure
  Debian system and the possibility to migrate the live filesystem to
  harddisk on-the-fly to get a running Debian system (with the
  drawback that the partitioning scheme is mostly fixed, using online
  ext2/3 resize patches could solve that).

- Make a live filesystem with boot-floppies or debian-installer
  Console and X subflavours included. The advantage over the normal
  CDs would be better autodetection and access to www, irc and local
  docs during instalation (one could read the installation docs on
  www.debian.org in galeon while running boot-loppies in an xterm).
  A mixture of knoppix and installer.

A sponsor should be versed in /bin/sh and intrested in creating live
filesystems. Having a CD-rw or DVD-rw burner would be a big plus but
bochs or vmware will do to test stuff.

Sources aren't debianized yet but I have an example CD image made from
a normal woody system (flavour 1 from above) at
rsync://mrvn.homeip.net/images/

Goswin
