Hi Subhani I just had a look at Pak OS, nice project, and I have 1 question for you that may help many others who use live build. How did you create an iso image with both 32 and 64 bit architectures using live build? If you would share your knowledge with teh live community I am sure many would be

Wow, that is a lot of information. Thanks for your time. Yeah, I usually go with the 'keep a giant pool of .deb files to use as needed after installing using a DVD' rout, but it is not the most manageable thing and I was wondering if it was possible to have a single 'always on me' pen drive th

Just to add something to what I just said a few minutes ago - of course you say that you're avoiding using DVDs since you want larger selections of packages such that the images will not fit onto DVDs (and I take your word for it that you've checked that your selections will indeed not fit), and yo

Okay, but still, it's going to be a significant task to hack things about sufficiently to achieve your goal, and you'll largely be on your own in doing it, since it's not going to be worth the time of others such as myself to assist with it I'm afraid. Even if you do achieve it, I would not expect

DVDs are cheap. I'd suggest that it is in no way worth the time you'll spend hacking things about to achieve this, when you could simply have separate i386 and amd64 discs instead. I speak with no authority as to live-build plans, but afaik there are no plans at all to do anything in this area. O

Hi. I'm glad you've fixed it. If the problem occurs with a completely clean build directory, and failing during the `lb boostrap_cache save` stage, then this would indicate that the failure lies in debootstrap itself. Up to that point live-build hasn't really done much at all and certainly has not
