Live doesn't make much sense for Emdebian Grip. The only architectures which can be supported by Live are only test platforms in Emdebian and there are precious few kernels in Grip. The whole point of live is that the media used is external - if a device has readily available external storage, it doesn't need Emdebian Grip. If a device has temporary external storage, that external storage has no need to be constrained by file system limits, so a standard Debian image will be fine. You'll have a hard time purchasing any USB media which is smaller than a standard Debian Live ISO. Also, just what is the point of a Live image which has no support for translations? Better to provide a completely standard Debian live image because then all the packages necessary are available. > These packages got priority set to important: > grip-build > grip-desktop > grip-desktop-minimal > grip-lxde > Because of that, a lot of dependencies are installed during the > bootstrap stage of live build > Is there a reason why those packages need their priority set to important? These are tasksel meta packages which replace the old tasksel list files. Without Priority: important, these tasks do not become available via some versions of Debian Installer. When I get time to test Wheezy D-I, I'll check through the affected versions. debootstrap already has support to exclude specified packages. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
