I've been testing builds for days now and I cannot figure out the parameter or option to specify a specific revision of Debian to use as the base build. I need to build from Debian Wheezy Update 6 (7.6) - Is there a way to do this? I have also tried doing '--bootstrap copy' but it results in the chroot directory missing. I'm open to alternative suggestions as well to create the build, but it has to be 7.6 or a copy of my current running install.
How about downloading 7.6 installation media, installing without an update mirror (air-wall the machine just in case), installing the live-build suite, and doing a build?

It sounds like you need to figure out what additional packages are installed on your existing server and add them to the live build (?).
