Here's another weird thing I've discovered building a bookworm-based installer ISO using live-build @ 'debian/1%20230131'. I have some hooks in my config/hooks/normal directories that download some deb files from the web and install them. However, I noticed after installation onto a system using m

I'm converting the installer for a project from bullseye to bookworm. Here's a bit of background: * build command ( https://github.com/mmguero-dev/Malcolm/blob/c040bccd0b33982595c38fa7d5018b20aeaae5ad/malcolm-iso/build.sh#L200-L229 ) * live build configuration directory ( https://github.com/mmguer

building debian live ISO with GitHub action

2021-11-08 Thread Seth Grover
with a single "run workflow" click (and some patience while it builds) I end up with a fresh build of my ISO, built and hosted by GitHub without having to use a local build environment at all. Anyway, I hope at some point this is useful to somebody. Cheers! -SG -- Seth Grover Be kind

I have a custom live distribution I was building for buster that included, for both the BIOS and EFI ISO menus, various custom options by specifying them in includes.binary (see https://github.com/mmguero/deblive/tree/master/bullseye/config/includes.binary), using "isolinux/advanced.cfg" and "boot/

Hm, after more looking at it I get the feeling the preseed file at /cdrom/install/preseed.cfg isn't being used at all in the BIOS install. It's asking me all sort of questions that I feel like it should be getting from the preseed. -SG
