I've improved this, the way config.cfg is handled is: * if config.cfg is executed, its output is taken as extra arguments.
* if config.cfg is not executable, but it's readable, its content is taken as arguments. this allows to have dynamic flags depending on whatever you want, e.g. the following use case: when i build the image on my machine at home, i want to use my local mirror for it. when i build the image somewhere else, i'd like to use a regular debian mirror. for this, i would create config.cfg the following (certainly stupid to do it with wget but i'm lazy now and i'm sure you'll get the idea) and make it executable: ---snip--- #!/bin/sh if wget -q http://mirror/ftp.debian.org/debian/ -O /dev/null then echo "--mirror http://mirror/ftp.debian.org/debian/" else echo "--mirror http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/" fi ---snap--- Regards, Daniel -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: daniel.baum...@panthera-systems.net Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
