binary-images hdd does not work
Hi everybody, I just tried building an hdd image, as explained on the manual : http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html#232 The script works, and at the end, I have no .img file. The end of the script gives: === 0+0 enregistrements lus 0+0 enregistrements écrits 0 octet (0 B) copié, 0,000541969 s, 0,0 kB/s !!! The following error/warning messages can be ignored !!!

Hi All, Anything higher than 7.6 is not an option due to my customer requirements (red tape within banking institution) I really need an exact copy of an existing server using the bootstrap --copy option Each time I try to run it I get the following: debadmin@debtest1:~$ lb config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer true [2016-04-24 11:00:32] lb config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer true P: Creating config tree for a debian/wheezy/i386 system debadmin@debtest1:~$ lb build [2016-04-24 11:00:35] lb build [2016-04-24 11:00:35] lb bootstrap P: Setting up cleanup function [2016-04-24 11:00:35] lb bootstrap_cache restore P: Restoring bootstrap stage from cache...

Also - just to update - I tried as root and verified path is set, still getting chroot not found I can compensate for any valuable help provided - thanks root@debtest1:/home/debadmin/testISO# lb build [2016-04-24 11:27:44] lb build [2016-04-24 11:27:44] lb bootstrap P: Setting up cleanup function [2016-04-24 11:27:44] lb bootstrap_cache restore P: Restoring bootstrap stage from cache...

I need to build from Debian Wheezy Update 6 (7.6) - Is there a way to do this? I have also tried doing '--bootstrap copy' but it results in the chroot directory missing. I'm open to alternative suggestions as well to create the build, but it has to be 7.6 or a copy of my current running install. How about downloading 7.6 installation media, installing without an update mirror (air-wall the machine just in case), installing the live-build suite, and doing a build? http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/7.6.0/ On 04/24/2016 08:03 AM, Melanie wrote: I really need an exact copy of an existing server using the bootstrap --copy option It sounds like you need to figure out what additional packages are installed on your existing server and add them to the live build (?).

Re: live-build to specific revision of wheezy
David, If I clone the server with dd is there a way to create an installable ISO from the binary image?

Re: live-build to specific revision of wheezy
Clonezilla can do that very easy and compressed, and create a hybrid iso of the cloned system.

I typically boot a Debian installation CD or USB flash drive, go into rescue mode, and use command line tools -- lsblk, parted, dd, md5sum, shasum, touch, etc.. The advantage is that I am using readily available, lowest common denominator tools and apply the KISS principle, so that I will know how to use the images if/when I need them. The disadvantage is risk of typographical errors and inconsistencies in invocation. On 04/24/2016 10:42 AM, Rui Miguel P.

If I did a lot of imaging, I'd probably learn it. David
