I think I have just figured it out, only because of having to copy and paste configs over. My package lists are derived from my 3.x configs and at the top of the file is a line that starts with "# /usr/share/live/build/package-lists/". This must have been from when 3.x in development (when I first

2014-10-04 Thread Zed
I¹ve run into a few small snags that has me perplexed currently, and I hope someone can lend a hand. My live-build completes, and the ISO boots. Once the Live session has started, this is where I see two strange behaviors. 1. The desktop icon for the debian-installer-launcher that I have used fo

Middle, and end of configs) and I am running 4.0.1-1 and 4.0.2 without issues. I¹d try to recreate the conf

Well, I have my preseed in the config/includes.installer directory. It is picked up and read perfectly when I boot the iso into Install or Graphic install ­ just not when I boot into live. Also, if you want the debian-installer available from your livecd, you need to install the debian-instller-la
