s there another way to stop packages being placed in the /pool folder being the exact opposite to my deliberately placing the packages.list.binary files in the config/packages folder to place the non-free firmware and ndiswrapper debs in the /pool folder. Cheers. Michael

Re: sources.list

Take a look at the Kali build scripts on their git page. They add some lines to their build so that it adds them at the end of the build. I'm going to add it to my builds as well. On 16/08/2020, andy pugh wrote: > As far as I can tell from the documentation one would expect the > default mirrorin

Re: I managed to get Debian Live working on the Raspberry Pi3, but it takes some tweaking

Re: About /etc/os-release

You will need to pin the debian package "base-files" to -1 so it does not install because it is the package that contains the file you are referring to. On 21/10/2020, Harshad Joshi wrote: > It is observed that modified content of /etc/os-release for live iso gets > changed back to debian after a

Re: Bug Report Information.

Hi Philip There are some issues with your request. 1. You don't tell us how you obtained Kali Linux, did you download it of the Kali website or did you build it using the Kali instructions or did you build it with the Vanilla Debian Live tools? 2.You don't tell us what the error is. 3. You have pos

Re: Trouble with running on non-debian systems.

Hi Alex. I'm not suggesting that you give up on this but understand that if you do keep going you will probably be the 1st person in a very long time, if not ever, to actually try this. The original developer has long since gone and the things you are trying to do originate from his work. On 27/11

Re: Replacing live-wrapper for live images by live-build?

think it's unlikely that Debian has the ability or the desire to do that. n.b when I say Debian I am referring to the organisation and its structure. Regards. Michael. On 20/04/2021, Jonathan Carter wrote: > Hi Roland (and Steve (and others)) > > On 2021/04/19 19:10, Steve McIntyr

Re: large /pool folder in the iso image

"pull packages" from a pool like a regular installer if I can stop it. Is this possible with Debian Live? >It's not wasted if you really do want the installer. What about the debs (not the udebs)? are they also required? Cheers. On 28 June 2013 10:53, Ben Armstrong wrote: >

I think you will find this is not even a Linux problem but rather the OP has tried doing something with Windows and it has not worked, he has then somehow interpreted a message about live.log as an email address to ask for help. Just my 2 cents, I may be wrong. On 26 August 2013 19:07, Ben Armstr

Re: Live Build Unable to locate package linux-image-*

When you have --architecture i386 you don't have to put --linux-flavor "486 686-pae" because it will get both automatically. If you only want 686-pae then you use --linux-flavor "686-pae" or likewise if you only want 486 you only put --linux-flavor "486" I also never use linux-packages "linux hea
