I would just like a confirmation that I can use debian live to create a
portable clone of a subset of my regular debian environment that I can
carry around on a CD/DVD and a USB flash drive.
After reading the fine manual a couple of times, I'm pretty sure that's
what debian live proposes to do.

I am in the process of installing live-helper on etch.
The manual tells me that I need to do the following:
. add the unstable sources to /etc/apt/sources.list
. do an "apt-get update"
. install debootstrap or cdebootstrap from unstable:
# apt-get install -t etch-backports debootstra

I'm on a debian etch system with the unstable sources added to my
/etc/apt/sources.list
When I run:
$ cd live-initramfs
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us
.. the build fails with:
dh_prep: Command not found
This error may be due to my debhelper being the etch version.
So, I tried:

Yes, that worked.

I successfully created the default "standard" live CD - i.e. lh_build
ran OK and I was able to boot to the bash prompt.
Since "standard" does not comprise most of the tools I am familiar with,
I decided to switch to give "rescue" a shot.
The lh_build run ended prematurely because it was unable to

Hope I'm not double-posting .. I have a feeling the list was down over

Since the generic framebuffer console vga driver does not support my
LCD's native 1400x1050 resolution, I was wondering if there was any way
I could add a custom kernel image with the relevant options enabl

I added those two packages to get my NIC to work & a network connection.
1. added them to LH_PACKAGES= in config/chroot
2. booted the live DVD
3. copied the NIC's .cis file to /lib/firmware
4. used "pccardctl eject" + "pccardctl insert" to recognize NIC
5. ran /etc/init.d/netwo

I have a feeling that this means that my binary.iso does not have
support for squashfs filesystems enabled.
I have installed the squashfs-modules-2.6.24 .. and squashfs-tools
packages on my host system but I'm not sure what I need to do to ensure
lh-build finds them.
Is it just a matter of copyin

Sorry, I was
I would like to add modules to an initrd images and make sure that they
are loaded at boot time but I have been unable to find a way to do this
in debian-live.
On a live system I add the modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
followed by a "mkinitramsf -o /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)" and this
