Hi Reinhard,

Last friday we've been experimenting with creating thin clients using
the live-build infrastructure. This is the infrastrucutre that is used
by both debian live and from oneiric onwards, the ubuntu live cds. This
worked included backporting relevant packages from oneiric to natty and
fixing some annoying bugs for getting actual working packages.

Mainly as a self reminder for me, here some test instructions for
*natty* systems. Feedback (as always) welcome:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:siretart
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install live-build x2go-rootfs
mkdir /tmp/build
cd /tmp/build
cp -rv /usr/share/x2go-livefs/auto .
sudo lb clean
lb config
sudo lb build

after this, you should end up with a lubuntu/natty based live cd
'binary-hybrid.iso' that has an lxdm configured to autologin the user
'user'. Moreover, x2goclient and rdesktop should be available in the
system. This binary-hybrid.iso is for me less than 500MiB in size and
AFAIUI (but I didn't test myself) should also worke from an usb stick
(dd if=binary-hybrid of=/dev/sdX).

hints: /tmp/build is best done on a tmpfs. You'll need around 2gb space
available there.

Cheers

Would it make sense to provide the live-cd builder in the x2gothinclient.git project on code.x2go.org???

Others might also be interested in a live-cd image of the X2go Thin Client...

Greets,
Mike
