Cannot build USB image

[eno at open-lab.org (eno at open-lab.org)]

Hi guys,

I'm running lh on the current Ubuntu beta. I'm trying to build an USB image.

This is what I do:

  mkdir usblive
  cd usblive/
  lh_config -b usb-hdd
  lh_build

This takes a while installing and downloading and you know what... After
that I have an image in ./chroot (which is strange because the ISO
building process puts the image directly into ./ )

  ls -l chroot/binary.img

--> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 95420416 2007-10-11 23:31 chroot/binary.img

However, that image seems to have no content at all:

  mkdir /mnt/test
  mount -o loop,offset=512 chroot/binary.img /mnt/test/
  ls -l /mnt/test/

--> insgesamt 0

                                                                                                                             If
a
specify
the
grub
bootloader
the
image
has
content
but
doesn't
boot
(obviously,
because
grub
cannot
boot
of
an
USB
stick)

As I am currently preparing an article for a german magazine on creating
USB boot images using live-helper any help would greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
