Debian live-build configuration for test rig netbook
First, clone and install our fork of live-build. Live build is a utility that takes a configuration file and generates a live build image. It is installed as the lb command:
git clone https://github.com/kevinmehall/live-build.git;
cd live-build;
make install;
Then, install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install debootstrap
bash config.sh generates the initial configuration. You only need to run it once or when you change it.
sudo lb build
The resulting image is live-image-i386. You can dd this to a USB flash drive or SD card. It is not currently built to be burned to a CD (the targeted machines don't have optical drives).
Boot it in qemu with qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -hda live-image-i386 -m 1024.
sudo lb clean cleans temporary files. It is occasionally necessary after changing certain things.
