I'd like to make my own custom Debian livecd for private
use. However, when I search for this on the web it's either
posts which talk about discontinued programs which have
been abandoned and/or no longer work, or pages with step by
step instructions, dozens of pages long, and usually followed
by posts with attempts to correct the tutorial, complain
about it being broken and so on. Thank you for the fish.

This seems as straight forward as it gets 
http://docs.kali.org/development/live-build-a-custom-kali-iso
If you are planning on using this on a variety of boxes I assume you have to 
load it with a variety of firmware or rely at the root console and the net 
connection to install them as necessary. Kali is just debian plus custom tools.

If it is not so important to plug in and play in any x64 box then why not 
install a system on usb? For use on vm configure the vm and save it. Or, a 
minimal debian oem live that can get update as they do, and an encrypted 
persistent partition in the usb with all the packages locally available. In 
which case why try to do what tails does best?

(AK)

live-build still works, and now has UEFI support. The debian-live 
mailing list is a better place to start. What release do you want to 
target? I made a build on unstable for unstable and included a bunch of 
utilities and customisations. The installer on my live image did not 
work so I used a stock installer (stretch RC3), but the live image 
itself worked well from USB.


I have tried live-wrapper many times but never got it to work for 
unstable. I made many bug reports. It seems lacking in features.


Kind regards,
