installing debian-live for etch?
I had problems installing the live-helper package to an etch system as well.
I think the problem lies with the live.debian.net repo.
I found this in the wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Configuration#line-37
but that will gets you jack-squat.
I've tried using these in apt/sources.list:
deb http://live.debian.net debian/
deb-src http://live.debian.net debian/
which will get me thus far:
Running: apt-cache policy live-helper
live-helper:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.0~a46+20080428.181640
Version table:
1.0~a46+20080428.181640 0
500 http://live.debian.net debian/ Packages
1.0~a46-2 0
300 http://debian.mirrors.easynews.com sid/main Packages
1.0~a45-1 0
400 http://debian.mirrors.easynews.com lenny/main Packages
but try pulling source and you'll get 404's:
joey:~/projects/llnw/debs$ apt-get source live-helper
Reading package lists... Done

Need to get 1944kB of source archives.

E: Failed to fetch some archives.
E: Failed to download live-helper
I think the problem is that http://live.debian.net/debian/Packages
has
"Filename: ./live-helper_1.0~a46+20080428.181640_all.deb"
instead of
"Filename: debian/live-helper_1.0~a46+20080428.181640_all.deb"
I run a similar style apt repo using the mini-dinstall program and that is
how it forms its Filename: headers.
Please CC me in any replies since I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks!
