Make sure you understand what 'standard' is. This will not include a desktop. Maybe this is what you really want. I could not be sure. > --packages='mono-complete postgresql-8.4 firmware-linux-nonfree > firmware-realtek debian-installer debian-installer-launcher' You likely do not want to include debian-installer (or else read the package description and make sure this is something you really want on your live image). > live-installer/enable=true This is not an 'lb config' option.

Ofcourse there is "GUI > install" and "Text install" option in Grub menu but that just installs > Debian by standard procedure When you specify --debian-installer 'live', it will install the contents of the image. My advice: log every build, e.g. lb build 2>&1 | tee build.log Then see if something went wrong with installing the packages in the live image. Some more advice? Start simpler. Use the examples in http://live.debian.net/manual to get a successful build, then add more options as you learn each one. There were many confusing or at least sub-optimal options in your configuration that made me wonder if you really understood them. Take, for example, --ignore-system-defaults. Do you have defaults in /etc you really want to ignore? live-build doesn't ship with any. Those would have to be global defaults *you* had set yourself. And if you set them as defaults, why do you want to ignore them? Also, --cache-stages='none'. I'm not sure why you want to skip caching, and I don't see in the man page where 'none' is an allowable value. > (ie. it ignores all my stuff from above regarding packages,username > etc..) What do you mean "ignores all my stuff from above regarding packages". You said, "it has every package on it I included above," so I don't understand this statement. Please be more specific. The username is a run-time option, as the 'live' user is a special user created only for the live system by live-boot. It is not part of the material that gets installed. See the Debian Installation Guide appendix on preseeding for ways to customize aspects of installation such as user account creation.
