Re: Re: Help building a live iso on a running live system with 8G RAM and no HD



Thanks for the hint.   Ok I've got the live build to actually build an image on the thumb drive.  Merely inserting the thumb drive into the laptop mounted it at /media/scratch but "mount" showed it indeed was mounted as "nodev".  I have no idea what that means but it was apparently breaking the build. 

This was fixed by "sudo umount /media/scratch" followed by making a directory in home/user
"sudo mkdir scratch" and then re-mounting the drive "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 scratch".

So far so good.   However, there is a new problem... I was trying to build a xfce-desktop build with an additional package, firmware-iwlwifi, and and an updated configuration file, /lib/udev/keymaps/hewlett-packard-compaq_keymaps, but the resulting binary.img file ended up being 127 mb and size and when booted was apparently only a minimal system without any desktop.

The command line for lb config was as follows-

sudo lb config -b usb-hdd --archive-areas "main contrib non-free" --packages "firmware-iwlwifi" --packages-lists "xfce-desktop"

followed by-

sudo mkdir -p config/chroot_local-includes/lib/udev/keymaps

sudo cp /media/disk/hewlett-packard-compaq_elitebook config/chroot_local-includes/lib/udev/keymaps


finally, the build is invoked-

sudo lb build

So again I am stumped.  I assumed the configuration parameter --packages-lists "xfce-desktop" would build a complete xfce-desktop into the image but for some reason it is not. 

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance
