# defines if apt should check repository signatures. This is enabled by
default.
LH_APT_SECURE="enabled"
# --bootstrap cdebootstrap|cdebootstrap-static|debootstrap|copy
# defines which program is used to bootstrap the debian chroot, default is
debootstrap. Note that if you set
# the bootstrap program to copy, then your host system is copied. This
can be usefull if you want to con-
# vert/clone your existing host system into a live system, however, make sure
you do have enough free space as
# this can, depending on your host system, get quite big.

# defines globally if any cache should be used at all. Different caches can
be controled through the their own
# options.
LH_CACHE="enabled"
# --cache-indices enabled|disabled
# defines if downloaded package indices and lists should be cached which
is disabled by default. Enabling it
# would allow to rebuild an image completely offline, however, you would not
get updates anymore then.
LH_CACHE_INDICES="disabled"
# --cache-packages enabled|disabled
# defines if downloaded packages files should be cached which is enabled by
default. Disabling it does save
# space consumtion in your build directory, but remember that you will cause
much unnecessary traffic if you do
# a couple of rebuilds. In general you should always leave it enabled,
however, in some particular rare build
# setups, it can be faster to refetch packages from the local network
mirror rather than to utilize the local
# disk.
LH_CACHE_PACKAGES="enabled"
# --cache-stages enabled|disabled|STAGE|"STAGES"
# sets which stages should be cached. By default set to bootstrap. As an
exception to the normal stage names,
# also rootfs can be used here which does only cache the
generated root filesystem in filesys-

rebuild the binary stage but not
# regenerate the root filesystem all the time.
LH_CACHE_STAGES="bootstrap"
# --debconf-frontend dialog|editor|noninteractive|readline
# defines what value the debconf frontend should be set to inside the
chroot. Note that setting it to anything
# by noninteractive, which is the default, makes your build asking questions
during the build.
LH_DEBCONF_FRONTEND="noninteractive"
# --debconf-nowarnings enabled|disabled
# defines if warnings of debconf should be displayed or not. Warnings from
debconf are generally very rare and
# by default, we skipp them, if any, in order to keep the build process
entirely non interactive.
LH_DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS="enabled"
# --debconf-priority low|medium|high|critical
# defines what value the debconf priority shoul dbe set to inside the

only has an effect if you use any
# debconf frontend different from noninteractive.
LH_DEBCONF_PRIORITY="critical"
# --initramfs auto|live-initramfs|casper
# sets the name of package that contains the live system specific initramfs
modification. By default, auto is

configuration time, the value will be
# expanded to casper when building etch systems and to live-initramfs for all
other systems.

# filesystem image is created and the root filesystem content is copied on
the binary image filesystem as flat

virtual-hdd images.
#LH_VIRTUAL_ROOT_FILESYSTEM=""

filesystem. When building etch images, this
# defaults to unionfs, everywhere else to aufs.
#LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM="aufs"
# --virtual-root-size MB

sparse files.
#LH_VIRTUAL_ROOT_SIZE="10000"

you enable it.
#LH_HOOKS=""
# --interactive shell
# defines if after the chroot stage and before the beginning of the
binary stage, a interactive shell login
# should be spawned in the chroot in order to allow you to do manual
customizations. Once you close the shell
# with logout or exit, the build will continue as usual. Note that it's
strongly discouraged to use this for
# anything else than testing. Modifications that should be present in all
builds of a live system should be
# properly made through hooks. Everything else destroys the beauty of being
able to completely automatise the
# build process and making it non interactive. By default, this is of course
disabled.

more than that the first will be con-
# figured the default kernel that gets bootet.
#LH_LINUX_FLAVOURS="486 686"
# --linux-packages
# sets the internal name of the kernel packges naming scheme. If you use
debian kernel packges, you will not
# have to adjust it. If you decide to use custom kernel packages that do not
follow the debian naming scheme,
# remember to set this option to the stub of the packages only (for debian
this is linux-image-2.6), so that
# STUB-FLAVOUR results in a valid package name (for debian e.g.
linux-image-2.6-486). Preferably you use the
# meta package name, if any, for the stub, so that your configuration is
ABI independent. Also don't forget
# that you have to include stubs of the binary modules packages for unionfs

# them out-of-tree.

# a few packages when building an image (limited by the max length of shell).
Packages that should be perma-
# nently installed should be put into a local packages list.
LH_PACKAGES=""
# -p|--packages-lists FILE
# defines which lists available in /usr/share/live-helper/lists should

list them here. Putting them into
# config/chroot_local-packageslists is not enough.
#LH_PACKAGES_LISTS="standard"
# --tasks TASK
# defines one or more package tasks to be installed in the live system.
This is a quick and convenient way to
# get a reasonable default selection of packages suitable for most users when
building an image, but it results
# in quite big images. If you want to have finer grained package
selections, local packages lists should be

# --symlinks enabled|disabled
# defines if the symlink hack should be enabled or disabled. The symlink hack

need or gain to enable it. If you are
# in a special situation that requires this, you will know.
#LH_SYMLINKS="disabled"
# --sysvinit enabled|disabled
# defines it the sysvinit hack should be enabled or disabled. The sysvinit

# --binary-filesystem fat16|fat32|ext2
# defines the filesystem to be used in the image type. This only has an
effect if the selected binary image
# type does allow to choose a filesystem. For example, when selection iso
the resulting CD/DVD has always the
# filesystem ISO9660. When building usb-hdd images for usb sticks, this is
active. Note that it defaults to
# fat16 on all architectures except sparc where it defaults to ext2. Also
note that if you choose fat16 and
# your resulting binary image gets bigger than 2GB, the binary filesystem
automatically gets switched to fat32.
LH_BINARY_FILESYSTEM="fat16"

# sets boot parameters specific to debian-installer, if included.
#LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL=""
# --bootloader grub|syslinux|yaboot
# defines which bootloader is beeing used in the generated image. This
has only an effect if the selected
# binary image type does allow to choose the bootloader. For example, if you
build a iso, always syslinux (or
# more precise, isolinux) is being used. Also note that some combinations of
binary images types and bootload-
# ers may be possible but live-helper does not support them yet. lh_config
will fail to create such a not yet
# supported configuration and give a explanation about it. For usb-hdd images
on amd64 and i386, the default is
# syslinux. yaboot is only used on powerpc.
LH_BOOTLOADER="syslinux"
# --checksums enabled|disabled
# defines if the binary image should contain a file called md5sums.txt
that lists all files on the image
# together with their md5 checksums. This in turn can be used by
live-initramfs' built-in integrity-check to
# verify the medium if specified at boot prompt. In general, this should
not be disabled and is an important
# feature of live system released to the public. However, during development
of very big images it can save
# some time by not calculating the checksums.
LH_CHECKSUMS="enabled"
# --chroot-build enabled|disabled
# defines whetever live-helper should use the tools from within the chroot
to build the binary image or not by
# using and including the host systems tools. This is a very dangerous
option, using the tools of the host sys-
# tem can lead to tainted and even non-bootable images if the host
systems version of the required tools
# (mainly these are the bootloaders such as syslinux, grub and yaboot, and
the auxilliary tools such as dosfs-
# tools, genisoimage, squashfs-tools and others) do not exactely match
what is present at build-time in the

sure what you are doing and have
# completely understood its consequences.
LH_CHROOT_BUILD="enabled"
# --debian-installer enabled|cdrom|netinst|netboot|businesscard|live|disabled
# defines which type, if any, of the debian-installer should be included
in the resulting binary image. By
# default, no installer is included. All available flavours except live are
the identical configurations used
# on the installer media produced by regular debian-cd. When live is
choosen, the live-installer udeb is
# included so that debian-installer will behave different than usual -
