Hi, I tested this with live-build versions 3.0.5-1 and 4.0~a20-1 as well as with the http://live-build-cgi.debian.net/ online service to make sure it's not my local configuration. When enabling --bootappend-live persistence I get the following messages after choosing to boot the live system in the menu:
Loading, please wait... Begin: Loading essential drivers ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done. Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done.

Sorry for that.

Is it intentional to only save the exit status? Version 4.0~a20-1 of the live-build package also doesnt seem to ship the man pages that were found in the 3.0.5-1 version. Did they move somewhere else? cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
