So... in terms of a step by step guide, the steps below show where I am at in my effort to understand the build process better. "Maybe" my LXDE desktop will work out so well it will become one of the images available on the net.
1. Download the source for the debian-live build from http://live.debian.net/debian-cd/5.0_beta1/source/tar/debian-live-lenny-source-standard.tar.gz 2. tar -xzf that file, it will create a ./source folder for you 3. cd source/debian-live 4. apt-get install live-helper 5. now lh_config -a i386 -d lenny -p lxde-desktop && lh_build 6. test the new debian.iso with VirtualBox (wash-rinse-repeat) Supposedly this should just work and then I can slim down the desktop more and tune it a bit. I know that it needs to stay within packages available from main to avoid being non-debian-ish right? Any other tips that will help me in my quest? -- Kam Salisbury http://kamsalisbury.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
