RE: Syslinux installation fails with
I used a quick workaround for Ubuntu 11.10. The approach for Debian will be the same. Before building use the following commands;
mkdir config/includes.chroot/usr/share/syslinux/themes/ubuntu-oneiric/isolinux-live
cd config/includes.chroot/usr/share/syslinux/themes/ubuntu-oneiric/
ln -s isolinux-live syslinux-live
Perhaps you want to modify your isolinux/syslinux.cfg? In this case a additional symbolic link within the isolinux-live directory is needed. Good luck!

Piethein Strengholt

In case you've not already found out, usb-hdd isn't a valid
target type any more. It's hdd now. Take a look in
....live/build/scripts/build/lb_binary_syslinux
about half way down.
"""
# Assembling image specifics
case "${LB_BINARY_IMAGES}" in
iso*)
_BOOTLOADER="isolinux"
_SUFFIX="binary/isolinux"
;;
net*)
_BOOTLOADER="pxelinux"
_SUFFIX="tftpboot"
;;
hdd*)
_BOOTLOADER="syslinux"
_SUFFIX="binary/syslinux"
;;
esac
# Copying files
mkdir -p ${_SUFFIX}
"""
So if you use usb-hdd, _SUFFIX isn't set and the rest is obvious.
*)
echo "What's a ${LB_BINARY_IMAGES} exactly??"
;;
would be a good idea ;)
Took me three days to find this. Just testing it out now...
but I've seem some pretty beautiful shell programming, so I'm a better
person for it :D
"The source code is the documentation"
Seriously, I expect the fine manual will catch up (if I'm right!)
when the live-build heroes have some spare time.
