Thank you. I tested the live helper from sid (live-helper_1.0~a37-2)  in
Ubuntu 7.10 by running this:
----
mirror_url="http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu";
mirror_security_url="http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu";
lh_config --sections "main restricted universe multiverse"
lh_config --mirror-binary $mirror_url --mirror-binary-security
$mirror_security_url --mirror-bootstrap $mirror_url
--mirror-bootstrap-security $mirror_security_url
lh_config --distribution gutsy --initramfs live-initramfs
lh_build
----
It does not work in Ubuntu 7.10. it failed in:
1.

description matched "squashfs-modules-2.6-486"

Therefore I think live-helper does not support Ubuntu by default. right ?

I did same test in Debian etch, however I got another problem, the
/sbin/start-stop-deamon in the created iso is just "#/bin/bash". In the
past, I can restore it by " apt-get -y --purge remove
cdebootstrap-helper-diverts". However, now live helper said
cdebootstrap-helper-diverts not installed. I realized it's removed by
lh_bootstrap_cdebootstrap. So the question is, if I need the real
/sbin/start-stop-daemon in created iso, how can I make it ?
Thanks in advance.

Steven.
