Re: Debian live stable images with just console and software speech using espeakup
hi, the debian netinstall images include obly the debian installer (which is an autonomous OS), and the debian installer can give you access to a minimal console with many useful utilities. give it a try and let us know if it is what you need On December 23, 2017 9:10:22 PM GMT+01:00, Nick Gawronskiwrote: >Hi, I was looking for a Debian live disc that is just for console use >for >doing things like copying off files and installing a basic console >Debian >system using software speech.

Debian live stable images with just console and software speech using espeakup
Hi, I was looking for a Debian live disc that is just for console use for doing things like copying off files and installing a basic console Debian system using software speech. I searched the Debian live project but could not find just console images they all had a desktop on them which I don't need. Could this be looked into for times where a minimal live disc is needed?

Bug#884585: live-build: Grub autodetect option no longer works with 686 kernel

I did not update those variables so that further commits / pull requests around that code did work in a clean manner and would not have to depend on a previous commit / patch of mine. And, well, I somehow thought it did not matter too much. Actually renaming them to X86 would be a better move. But, then, you know there is 686 but... there hasn't been any 786 kernels so I don't think that variable will get renamed any where in the future... so that's fine after all. adrian15 -- Support free software.

I mean: DEFAULT_KERNEL="$(basename chroot/boot/vmlinuz-*${DEFAULT_FLAVOUR})" would have translated to: DEFAULT_KERNEL="$(basename chroot/boot/vmlinuz-*amd64:amd64)" and there is no such installed files with those filenames. You can check it here: https://github.com/rescatux/live-build/commit/25bbc377a2e9ca67240f7a396f53637426ba4eb6 I discarded myself this implementation because it modifies too many lines (Occam's razor reference) and seems too much of an artificial fix. 3) So I dropped that implementation of the patch and searched for something more elegant. A patch that modified the least possible lines of the live-build code and I finally found out how... with this new package based variable that would only have to be used in one specific place. And that's the patch I submitted here in the first place. Do you prefer my discarded implementation? The one I sent initially? Or is it a better way of approaching this problem?
