I have been impressed because there are way many more rescue packages on these two lists than what I had thought of originally. that would be great, thank you very much. The article is still in a draft and I have not been able to work much on it. What I mean is that I'm going to end the article one day or another. Not as soon as I thought though. So if you are one of these people that do not want a Rescue disk to be taken out of Debian Live official flavours (and given that Jessie freeze will soon happen) you should probably work on: - Issuing a tasksel bug that includes current packages found at latest Debian Live Rescue disk. Probably the ones found at: http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-images.git;a=tree;f=images/rescue/config/package-lists;hb=HEAD (debian-forensincs and rescue) as Daniel originally suggested at: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-live@lists.debian.org/msg13525.html Thank you. P.S.: I don't care about Debian Live Rescue not being available in Jessie myself because I prefer to rethink its packages wisely but I don't want to be blamed on it not being available. adrian15 -- Support free software.

Isolinux and Multi language - How do you want it?
As one step for freezing Rescatux ( http://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/ which it's based on Debian Live ) I need users to be able to select a language, well, most exactly a keyboard. Currently the best way of doing it seems to be using Isolinux menus and using kernel boot parametres as described in the manual: http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual.en.html#512 I want to contribute back this new feature to Debian Live but in a way that everybody likes it. You can assume that I will get the locales automatically from /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst or similar files. * Syslinux does not support variables ( http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#Is_There_A_Way_To_Define_Constants_Or_Variables.3F ) * cmd.c32 ( http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Cmd.c32 ) is almost not useful because it would only deal with one boot parametre (i.e. being able to choose locale only and not both locale and keyboard layout) * lua.c32 ( http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32 ) might be used for variables but I'm not quite sure. So there are some questions there. 1) What do you think is it way for letting the user choosing its locale? 2) How many screens would you present to the final user? 3) Have you ever tried to do something with this Lua.c32? Do you think I would be able to use it for this purpose? 4) Would you mind having like 50+ isolinux cfg files which represent the different combinations of locale, keyboards and its variants so that I can use syslinux without using variables? Or is it ok with you? 5) Are you already doing this in your Debian Live based project ? How do you do it? Thank you for your feedback! adrian15 -- Support free software. Donate to Super Grub Disk.

Mmm... Should I fill a bug report about this?! If yes, then, where?! Tks!

Hi, adrian15 wrote (20 Oct 2014 07:03:06 GMT) : 5) Are you already doing this in your Debian Live based project ? How do you do it? We at Tails use a custom GDM greeter: https://git-tails.immerda.ch/greeter I suspect it wouldn't be s hard to extract the Tails-specific bits, and make the rest reusable.

Unable to locate package.
My last few builds have returned with the end of the log informing me that the kernel image is not found, for example: E: Unable to locate package linux-image-486 I feel as though this is a problem on your end. Also, it doesn't find rar or unrar in the package index, nor does it allow me to set the archive areas to main non-free contrib as I would normally (I assume this is what the archive area refers to, I may be wrong, if so how would I set that?). Thanks, -Jim Craveiro

Perhaps try building with the debain-next branch of live-config: git clone -b debian-next http://live-systems.org/git/live-images.git then move to the appropriate image and attempt building.
