Re: Does latest live-helper tools use squashfs?

[Harshad Joshi <firewalrus@gmail.com>]

i used to build live system on lenny using this command

lh_config -a i386 -b iso --bootloader syslinux --cache-indices enabled --cache-packages enabled --debian-installer live --initramfs live-initramfs --iso-application "IndiaForceIM" --iso-preparer "FlyingFox" --iso-publisher "harshad joshi" --syslinux-timeout 10 --union-filesystem aufs --tasksel tasksel --username "flyingfox" --win32-loader enabled --hostname "flyingfox" -p myownpackagelist

Can you please help me to translate the above command  using lb config? 

helllp!!

by default yes, but you can use other types of filesystems, see man
lb_config.

"the same procedure as every year, James."

if you build lenny images with the lenny live-helper version on a
squeeze host system, it will just work.

if you want to build squeeze images with lennys version of live-helper,
it will probably not work and you'll suffer from many bugs we fixed since.

since nobodys doing that, probably nobody really knows. if you insist on
knowing it, try it yourself, but don't expect any help with it.
live-helper is dead.

why? it's almost identical.
