Hi all, Andreas has bugged me several times to get the Live CD stuff into SVN. I would like to discuss a few issues fist.
The stuff I currently have produces a Live CD for GNUmed based on Debian Live. I could check that in but it is of limited use for Debian Med as a whole. In my view what needs to be done is to define package lists that can be fed to Debian Live's lh_config. These might overlap Debian Med's metapackages http://live.debian.net/manual/html/packages.html#package-installation For GNUmed one would simply use 'lh_config --packages "gnumed-client gnumed server"' 1) A good start for a Live CD is the Debian Live Task 'xfce'. It could be coupled with a package list that holds metapackages. Another option would be to define a set of tasks like 'xfce-emr' or 'xfce- biology' or whatnot. What do you think ? 2) The menus for GRUB and syslinux get autogenerated. For GNUmed I have cutomized the syslinux menu to allow for localized startup (the locales are created depending on your kernel parameters ). Those need to be preseeded in 'foo/bar/config/templates/syslinux/common/menu.cfg' 3) not all packages are in Debian Stable /Lenny. So a custom sources.list and apt preferences file needs to be supplied to pick up various software packages from testing. In short three things need to be done: 1) create a number of package lists to supply to lh_config 2) supply a sources.list 3) customize the menu If you want I could supply a working configuration to start out with but for a Debian-Med Live CD my config is too specific and needs work. Let me know how you want me to proceed. Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
