live-server (with installer)

In this tutorial I make a brief description of how to include a live installer in your image.

In order to follow this tutorial you need:

• A basic knowledge of the command line.

• Being familiar with the process of building debian-live images. As an introduction you can read Tutorial 3 or for a full reference read live-manual. You have two options here:

  1. # apt-get install live-manual

  2. Go to live-manual online

Here we go

You can choose whether you want a regular debian-installer or a live-installer. In order for the live-installer to work it needs to match the kernel. That's why you have to use the 486 flavour. You only need to specify these options:

-a (arquitecture) -k (kernel) --debian-installer live (--packages) debian-installer-launcher if you want the desktop icon.

Thus:

$ lb config -a i386 -k 486 --debian-installer live --packages debian-installer-launcher

Building the image

# lb build

That's it.
