Hi,
This sort of thing should work for you. I assume you have several GB of
bandwidth.
On the live (or standard) system :
dpkg -l > packages.txt

cat packages_clean.txt > apt-get source

I have found this with normal Debian (ie: not Debian-live) on similar
hardware ( TNT2 16MB ). The fix for me was to reboot into Windows and
then I could reboot again back to Debian and it would work correctly
with no configuration changes.
I never did find the root cause of the problem but I s
Is there a reason why the current LTS version of Ubuntu is still running
a legacy version of debian-live? It seems insane - that and it really
hasn't been ported to Ubuntu at all well.

An inexperienced user could brick an embedded system in even less.

Given that many of the professionals on this list are using debian-live
as the basis for embedded products, how is everyone following the change
in the GPL making it unlawful to shut users out of hardware?

Hi, for testing with assorted machines I build a Debian-live USB image
and copy it to CF or usb stick with no modifications.
In my tests it is been used in motherboard CF adapters, IDE to CF

It makes no difference.
I have used it as a rescue disk mo
You need to google 'debian-live' and 'persistence'.

Depending on how fundamental you wish to be, you can leave your own
syslinux.cfg in config/binary_local-includes/boot/syslinux.cfg
syslinux.cfg is the file that all the others are included by.
By modifying that, you can bypass all the startup prompts and choices.
eg:

Has anyone else not seen a speed improvement after using the
boot=quickreboot flag?
To date I have:
stripped the Debian boot menu
commented out the shutdown prompt
switched off udev
removed hald and all dependencies
avoided installing network-manager

I'm not quite sure what this as I've always had to run locale-gen when

In the chroot phase I'm generating locales - why are they ignored when
the images boot?
I've read the FAQ and I can introduce my own settings but I would prefer
to do it during the build, not during boot.
Any suggestions?

A lot of hacks (particularly $END) but it works.
sync is needed to convince the Debian that /dev/sda2 exists.
CF_DEVICE=/dev/sda
CF_DEVICE_SIZE="4G"
END=":fat16"
CF_DEVICE_ID=${CF_DEVICE:(-3)} # just the last three characters eg; sda
from /dev/sda
PARTED=$(parted -lm) # hard disk (CF card) info

need storage, others can work happily with no persistant storage at all
so I want to get the partitioning all script based and flexible - which
is how I have it configured/working at present.

I don't like this - probably you should answer No
Do you want to write this to disk? [ynq]

I'm after a clever way to sort out my partitioning.
Like many of you I'm generating many operating systems with varying
parameters - which helpfully will be going onto varying size disks.
Is there a script based way of creating a second (or third) partition
that takes up the rest of a disk of un
Agreed - however that is mainly because it is what I'm doing right now.
In the broader context it seems unlikely to be overly useful. What I'd
prefer is a config program that keeps your build current. eg: If I build
now with etch I use unionfs, if I build with Lenny I use aufs. A program

I found the problem - I'm an idiot.
I was running lh_clean before my script got to my build directory.
Thanks anyway,

What is the correct way to call the build scripts after changing
configuration?
Currently I'm using
lh_clean
lh_config clean
lh_config $NEW_OPTIONS
lh_build
Frequently the build fails silently because it hasn't noticed the
changes made (I assume).
Using Debian Lenny - week old install.
