Re: can't find init when using --bootappend-live persistence
Hi,
the problem is solved. It was a feature and not a bug. I guess I got confused
by:
1. many sources [1,2,3] claiming that it was enough to run:
lb config --bootappend-live "persistence"
2. the fact that the default value for LB_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE in the
live-build-cgi.debian.net service is just the empty string, suggesting that
the LB_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE option was just appending to the default string but
not setting it and falling back to the default if it was the empty string.
3. the naming of LB_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE which suggested it would just append to the
boot options
Those things made me not search for the --bootappend-live option in the
debian-live manual. Searching for it now yields that everything is well
documented and I would've avoided the trouble and spared you another two
useless emails in your inbox, if I had RTFM. But maybe somebody with a similar
problem finds this email at some point.
Conclusion: to create a boot medium with persistence as the default, use:
--bootappend-live "boot=live config quiet splash persistence"
cheers, josch
