What is the correct way to switch to backports kernel?

2022-01-27 Thread Andy Smith
Hi, I would like for the bullseye live image I'm creating to use the kernel from bullseye-backports. I have put "--backports true" in my config file and I can see that these sources are added to /etc/apt/sources.list. I do not understand though, how best to actually install the linux-image-amd64

NFS-root live image shuts its network off before fully shut down

2022-01-27 Thread Andy Smith
Hi, I'm using the Live project to make an NFS-root rescue environment. It's mostly working fine, but when I halt or shut down from within the live environment it seems to tear down the network almost instantly which then causes the rest of the shutdown process to stall presumably because it no lo

Hello, Speaking as a fairly happy user of live-build, but not a contributor to it. I also don't know anything about live-build-ng yet so it is perhaps worth mentioning that while I always got the live-build support I needed, I did always feel that Daniel was perhaps a bit too brusque with people.

Possible to force network configuration for boot=nfs?

2012-03-06 Thread Andy Smith
Hello, I'm investigating using debian-live to provide a "rescue" environment running under Xen, with an NFS root. I'd rather not use PXE and DHCP to configure the network of the client, because I already have all the network settings of the client to hand. I'm getting stuck at the client's networ
