While the Debian Events team mainly needs a BabelBox, it would be also useful to have a standard and full Debian desktop that people at booths can easily download, better *before* being at a booth, and show to people. We could also provide them in the BabelBox machine, so booth organizers can just copy the images: <http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Events/DebianEventsBox> >> How should the images be generated? > > vmdebootstrap --image=debian-squeeze.img --size=4G \ > --mirror=http://cdn.debian.net/debian --distribution=squeeze \ > --enable-dhcp --root-password=password1 --user=tomjon/password \ > --hostname=squeezebox --package=gnome > > That should get you started.

FWIW, this is needed with QEMU/KVM for the Debian Events Box, so if no one wants to package it I will do that. > It would probably be nice to have a debian-installer based way to > generate the images, so they're as close to a real, installed system > as possible, but vmdebootstrap (or one of the other similar tools) > will do in a pinch. This would be really appreciated. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
