I tried to build a live-cd for powerpc with the following options: lh_config -b usb-hdd \ --apt-recommends disabled --apt-secure disabled --categories="main contrib non-free" \ --bootappend-live "locale=sv_SE.UTF-8 keyb=se persistent" \ --mirror-bootstrap "http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/"; \ --mirror-chroot "http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/"; \ --mirror-binary "http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/"; \ --mirror-binary-security "http://security.debian.org"; \ --debian-installer "live" \ -p my-packages
The build failes at what I think is the last step. The installation of the debian installer seems to finish OK. Here is the last part of the build.log "P: Begin installing debian-installer [...] 2009-01-14 18:23:32 URL:http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian//pool/main/l/linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6/zlib-modules-2.6.26-1-powerpc64-di_1.44_powerpc.udeb [10072/10072] -> "zlib-modules-2.6.26-1-powerpc64-di_1.44_powerpc.udeb" [1] 2009-01-14 18:23:32 URL:http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian//pool/main/z/zlib/zlib1g-udeb_1.2.3.3.dfsg-12_powerpc.udeb [45588/45588] -> "zlib1g-udeb_1.2.3.3.dfsg-12_powerpc.udeb" [1] 39464 blocks Reading package lists...

Does ("E. not yet supported, aborting (FIXME)." indicate that -b usb-hdd is not supported for powerpc? -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <h...@sociologi.cjb.net> A.
