I use a similar package-lists line for XFCE. In your case, add a line: task-lxde-desktop to a file: config/package-lists/custom.list.chroot List files with names ending in ".list.chroot" are used determine packages included in the live image (the chroot stage), as opposed to packages to be i

I did that, and ran lb build. I have no idea why an .iso was not generated. Can you help? On Thu, Jun 30, 2016, at 14:11, Ben Caradoc-Davies wrote: > I use a similar package-lists line for XFCE. In your case, add a line: > > task-lxde-desktop > > to a file: > > config/package-lists/custom.lis

I think those instructions are out of date or not applicable to a USB stick (cdrecord is for one of those round plastic CD things from the olden days). If I recall correctly, the xorriso step is done by "lb build" when assembling the iso. Just like any other Debian hybrid iso, you can use "dd"
