Hey,
I have been using Debian Live to use Debian at work (to avoid Win), and so far I have to say it's been painless and loving it.
Now, on to my purpose here. I build hdd images, using syslinux as the bootloader. Recently my squashfs file has grown over 4 GB. lb switched to NTFS which brings my system to its knees and I have to hard reboot (it seems this is common). A build using NTFS would always require me to a hard shut down.
This led me to investigate using ext4 as my binary filesystem. Unfortunately it seems it is not supported for hdd images. I formatted my USB stick with ext4, copied the files, and installed extlinux. Worked perfectly.
This led me to modify binary_hdd and copy/modify binary_syslinux for use with extlinux. So far, so good. I have only tested a small number of cases, but I have been successful in creating bootable images, and upon writing to a USB stick, it boots fine on several PCs as well.
Is there any interest in the script?
If so, is it preferred as a diff as several files are involved?
And what are the preffered parameters to use for diff for inclusion of a patch?
On a side note, after upgrading recently to 4.0~alpha33-1 on jessie, I get the following error when running 'lb build --debug':
usage: lb bootstrap-includes [arguments]
lb bootstrap-includes: error: unrecognized arguments: --debug
Thank you for your great work,
Anthony
