Installing the system from a running live CD?
Hi, having read the documentation I can see that the live-helper only provides the standard Debian installer, or a Live CD version which both have to be chosen as boot options. In the documentation it mentions that there isn't yet a way to install the live CD from the running LIve system. Just to let you know that such a package does exist - it is called remastersys-installer which is part of the package remastersys which allows users to remaster an installed system into a live CD. It seems that it might be a good idea to have a look at the remastersys-installer script because it could easily be incorporated into the live-helper script to provide this functionality, as well as the ability to automatically remaster an installed system etc. I think the installer would work without any changes, but the remastersys script itself may or may not be compatible with the rest of the live-helper scripts. I will try out the remastersys installer script on a live CD build soon and let you know if it works properly.
